Vault Gallery, 780 Blanshard St.

Get it? Get it? is the second iteration of a project exploring jokes and humour as they emerge in artistic practices. The exhibition will feature 6 artists whose work indulges in absurd narratives, head-shaking puns, and knee-slapping one-liners, as a means to facilitate connection through laughter.

Kosar Movahedi

Kosar Movahedi’s practice explores space; how our bodies take it up, hold it and are shaped by it. Through drawing, sculpture, photography and video, she combines minimalist aesthetics with tongue-in-cheek humour to examine the relationship between us and our social, political, and physical environments. Kosar holds a BSc in Architecture from University of Tehran and is an MFA candidate at the University of Victoria.

Carly Greene’s practice is motivated by an interest in materials - their histories, potentials, implication in, and impact on larger systems of value and labour. Working across sculpture and installation, she susses out messy, complex, and absurd ways in which materiality intersects with personal and cultural narratives. Greene is an instructor and the Wood and Metal Shop Technician at the University of Victoria.
