Museum in the Hallway: Boîte-en-valise

SEPT 14, 2022 – NOV 20, 2022

SECOND FLOOR EAST ALCOVE BETWEEN THEATRE ENTRANCES

Museum in the Hallway: Boîte-en-valise is a rotating exhibit of material culture from the students of Centre of Studies in Arts and Culture. The program consists of five exhibits, including objects and evidence of course outcomes and workshops delivered by special guests (including Walker Cultural Leaders for 2021-23). “Boîte-en-valise” is an expression coined by avant-garde artist Marcel Duchamp to refer to the aesthetic value of collecting and assembling.

This exhibition showcases masks created by students in an examination of material culture that employed conceptual brainstorming and participation in short writing exercises. This project advanced the professionalization of their learning and practice of curation, providing a micro curated piece/project that drew upon their experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Nina Penner’s students are always surprised to learn she’s not a singer.

Although the opera expert has been a part of many productions throughout her career, her home has always been in the orchestral pit.

The classical clarinetist, and now Brock University Assistant Professor of Music, has always found herself fascinated with the art form and rejoices in her ability to share it with others."
