The Lan­gara Col­lege Cen­tre for Art in Pub­lic Spaces invites you toThe New Par­a­digm: Mod­els, Dia­grams, Pro­pos­als and Pro­vi­sions for the Com­ing Age.

Fea­tur­ing new work by artists Geof­frey Farmer, Devon Knowles, T&T, Ron Tran and Eliz­a­beth Zvonar, The New Par­a­digm uti­lizes the con­text of The Pavil­ion as an ora­cle to present art­works that func­tion as gen­er­a­tive, reflex­ive tools that ori­ent us towards our col­lec­tive future. The role of cre­ative work, whether it be craft, assem­blage, col­lage or col­lect­ing is pre­sented as a cru­cial ele­ment of extropy — the pre­dic­tion that human intel­li­gence and tech­nol­ogy will enable life to expand in an orderly way through­out the uni­verse. The play­ful approach to this jour­ney that these artists have taken indi­cates an aus­pi­cious outcome.

The Pavil­ion is a project by Artist-in-Residence Holly Ward. Sym­bolic of dif­fer­ence and utopian think­ing, The Pavil­ion is a geo­desic dome intended to serve as a cat­a­lyst for spec­u­la­tive think­ing and artis­tic exper­i­men­ta­tion. The pub­lic is invited to attend the pro­gram of events tak­ing place in The Pavil­ion from Jan­u­ary through April 2010.
