Art and Other Organisms explores the natural aesthetic similarities between plants, traditional art materials, and design. By pairing artworks and plants, this exhibition seeks to blur the boundaries of where nature ends and artistic practice begins.

In collaboration with The Concordia Greenhouse, the featured collection of local houseplants and array of mixed media artworks represents the diversity and magnificence of Concordia’s agriculture and art communities.

The vernissage for Art and Other Organisms will take place on Tuesday, November 25 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the VAV Gallery on the main floor of the Visual Arts Building (1395 Réne-Levesque Blvd. W.).

The VAV Gallery is a democratically-run student exhibition space located in the Visual Arts Building that seeks to reflect the excellence and diversity of artworks created by students to both the university community and the public at large.

Exhibits are held all year round through bi-monthly programming. As well as the regular exhibition schedule, the VAV also hosts a variety of special events and projects throughout the year. These include workshops, lectures, panel discussions, the Art Matters festival and the Annual Graduating Students’ Exhibition.
