Nicole Ensing presents “The Art of Objects” - a look at how material cultural studies can be used to research and understand art.
Saturday, June 27th at 3pm
We surround ourselves with objects and works of art are just one type of the many material objects we encounter. Material culture is all around us, representing our culture, values, beliefs or experiences. Often each object carries its own biography. This talk will discuss the application of material culture and how a close examination of objects depicted in paintings can reveal meaning and historical context.
This event is free and open to the public.
Nicole was born and raised in the Okanagan and is a recent graduate from UBC Okanagan’s BFA and BA programs. Over the years she has been involved working and volunteering in the arts community through organizations such as the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan, Lake Country Art Gallery, the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, and the Kelowna Art Gallery. Currently she is pursuing a Masters in Art History at Queen’s University and is spending the summer working in the archives at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, in Banff, Alberta.
