Taking up notions of suspended time, Abbas Akhavan's exhibition One Hundred Years contends with temporal halting and how time is represented in narrativized spaces. Weighing the narrative drive of storytelling against the emptying out of content or the freezing of narrative, Akhavan's works simultaneously activates a stage and presses pause.

Join Abbas Akhavan, the Cecil H. and Ida Green Visiting Professor, for his talk Variations on a Garden at Green College Coach House. 

This fall, join leading UBC scholars, artists, curators and critics in a series of noon-hour conversations at the Belkin. We invite two prominent, disciplinarily distinct voices into the gallery to discuss productive intersections of their own work and the current exhibition, followed by a discussion that includes the audience.
