The V.A.V. Gallery at Concordia University in Montreal is a student run art gallery that is devoted to showing only student work and exhibitions that could be helpful in the learning experience. It is part of a chain of similar galleries all across Canada. The role of these galleries is to stimulate student life and to provide valuable training ground that prepares them for the pro- fessional art world. Another important fact is that most of these galleries are operated on a volunteer basis and funded by the student societies. The "Ideas in Motion/'84" exchange was born out of a number of events that the V.A.V. Gallery organized during the '82/'83 school year. These events included an ex- change exhibition with the University of Montreal a.d an exchange with the Ontario College of Art. The exhibitions were a great success in terms of stimulating student activities and drawing public attention to the art being done by students. The "Ideas in Motion/'84" exchange will involve three seperate exhibitions, one made up of student works from Toronto, one from Montreal, and one from Vancouver. These exhibitions will then be exchanged until the three shows have been seen in each of the areas. The following outline will provide details: Number of Works: Selection: Kinds of Work: Crating and Shipping: | Insurance: Exhibitions: Volunteers: Bach exhibition will be made up of a maxi- mum of 600 cu. ft. of crated art work not exceeding 6,000 lbs. This will be approx. 40 works varying in size and medium. The works will be selected from undergraduates currently enroled in the institutions involved. The selection of the works will be done by a jury selected from the professional art community but not attached to one of the participating institutions. Most mediums will be considered but the fact is that some forms of expression cannot be shipped, i.e. very fragile ob- jects or extremely complicated installations. Where audio visual equipment is required the determining factor will be whether or not the equipment is available at the exhibition destination. All works must be properly crated for ship- ping which is being done by CP Express who if sponsoring the exchange. The crates will be built by students who volunteér their time and energy. Still being considered. The exhibition from Vancouver wil] be exhibited at Gallery 76 at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto. The date is still unconfirmed. Then it will be shown in Montreal at the V.A.V. Gallery, Concordia University from March 7 to 21/'84. The Montreal and Toronto exhibits will be in the Concourse Gallery prospectively during the last two weeks in February. This exchange is being organized by stu- dents who feel that this kind of event is an important part of their education. Students willing to volunteer time and skills to help organize the Emily Carr portion of the show should contact Randy Anderson at 682-3992 or attend the meet- ing which will be posted. The V.A.V.
