Artist Talk

Artist Talk | Units, ECUAD’s 2026 MFA Exhibition

ADMISSION
Free

Please join participating artists and Gonzalo Reyes Rodriguez, Assistant Professor, Photography, ECU, for an artist talk surrounding this year’s MFA exhibition, Units.

This exhibition brings together students from the Photography and New Media and Sound Art departments at Emily Carr University who approach the artwork as a structured aggregation of parts. The exhibition takes as its premise that no image, body, or territory is apprehended outside of a system of measure. Units are not simply formal components; they are the operative standards through which value, difference, and relation are organized. A unit establishes equivalence and boundary. It determines what counts, what is divisible, and what remains excess. To ask this question is therefore to ask how perception is structured in advance—by grids, binaries, documents, archives, repetitions, and scales that appear natural but are historically produced.
