Guest Speaker
Luca Soldovieri is a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada. Soldovieri’s labour-intensive practice sources materials that once held significance like personal love letters, family heirlooms, forgotten objects, and even household dust. In returning these materials back to their organic form, Soldovieri is able to pay tribute to the past while fostering new conversations about loss, memory and transformation.
Soldovieri received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from OCAD University and has exhibited throughout Canada and the United States.
What is the Faculty of Art Critique Club?
The Critique Club is a student-organized activity that provides a platform for critical dialogue, conceptual development, technique sharing, and networking. We welcome students from all programs and levels of the Faculty of Art to participate in this activity. During the club, participants are encouraged to present finished work or work in progress for feedback and open-minded conversation.
What kinds of critiques can I expect?
The Critique Club is focused on students' conceptual development and, accordingly, we emphasize examining each work of art in its totality rather than as a collection of formal details. We are chiefly interested in improving each other's artistic thinking, though critique focus may vary from student to student and can include feedback on technique.
Who can attend the Critique Club?
The Critique Club is open to all students in the Faculty of Art.
What if I don't have any work to show?
You don't need to present finished work; if you would like feedback about a work in progress or an unrealized project, we would be happy to accommodate you. If you would simply like to experience the format of a student-run critique, you are welcome as well.
Do I need to bring anything for installation?
Student organizers shall have a tool kit for support, however, participants are responsible for their own hardware and installation.
