HUB, where did you go?

Published on October 24, 2010 in News. 0 Comments

This is long overdue. Perhaps nobody has checked up on HUB in a long while and well, I don’t blame you. As some of you may have guessed, HUB has taken a hiatus. I want to say it is temporary but cannot say for how long. So far it has been a year but I hope to start to bring it back within the next year.

So what happened that made me put HUB on hold? The short answer is that my wife and I moved back to Ontario and bought a house. Needless to say the transition has forced me to let HUB rest for a bit. Anyway, I will soon start making the proper moves and communications in order to get HUB V2 up an running, so please, if I haven’t lost you already, stay tuned.

HUB Summer Shutdown

Published on September 1, 2009 in News. 0 Comments

Well, it’s been a great July and August at HUB. The workshops were well attended and a great success. Big thanks goes out to the workshop leaders Claudio Rivera-Seguel, Matt Lockyer and Dennis Rosenfeld. The talks program for August was well attended. Josh Hite and Justine Chambers spoke about their collaborative project Copy two weeks ago  and Dennis Rosenfeld spoke this past Thursday about some of his most recent work.

There will be more workshops and talks this September, but first HUB must shut down for a few weeks while it moves house. Starting on September 4, 2009 the HUB:LAB will operate out of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery on the UBC Campus.

Thanks again to all the workshop leaders and talk presenters as well as to the Department of Art History, Visual Art & Theory, UBC Robson Square, UBC Arts ISIT, the staff at the Belkin Gallery and to everyone else who has donated some of their time to HUB.

Please be patient through this transition period and we hope to see you in the fall.
