How Do You Sleep With Yourself is an exhibition featuring the University of British Columbia’s 2011 graduating BFA/BA Visual Art students’ current work. The exhibition showcases these students’ commitment to art practice and diverse critical thinking which are essential to today’s contemporary art. Individual artistic practice involves strategies to combat all kinds of orthodoxies, classifications or chauvinisms of the mind. Through variations of everyday imagery or language, artists create their own space within larger social and cultural discourses. The union of theory and practice engenders art which surpasses the boundaries of its origins. Within a global cultural context, the vocabulary of contemporary art does not arise from one culture or homogenous source; it springs from a myriad of sources that produce meaning in art.
