Temporary Collective evolved out of a performance course taught by Randy Lee Cutler in the spring of 2018 at Emily Carr University. Members of the collective include Tianna Barton, Fadwa Bouziane, Keely Bruce, Randy Lee Cutler, Matthew
Dillon, Maya Gauvin, Mimi Gonzalez Guerra, Gillian Haigh, Caroline Lee and Brigitte Patenaude.
Responses to the Collection is an ongoing series that invites a broad range of guest contributors to select work from the Outdoor Art Collection as subjects for reflection and response. Exploring how the UBC campus can be a fruitful place for experimentation and learning, Temporary Collective have come together to perform through movement and rhythmic gestures, responses to Asiatic Head by Otto Fischer-Credo (1958/1977) and The Shadow by Esther Shalev-Gerz (2018). The collective of ten artists attempts to dialogue with these two very different artworks by generating an embodied engagement with site, materiality and history.
