Blah….Blah….Blah with Michael Fernandes
Through abstraction the insignificant becomes significant; the nonsensical becomes sensical.  Michael Fernandes will guide students as they work through ideas of what is!  Working with minimal verbal language and bingo dobbers students will clear their minds of what is conventional to journey through ideas of non-convention to explore deeper significance in the world of art and life.  Michael Fernandes is a well known artist whose practice combines linguistic and performance events catalyzed by humour. Through public interventions and text-based installations, Fernandes creates social situations that actively solicit viewer participation. His work explores the intersection of private life with public space, and the relationship between art and everyday life. Michael Fernandes is an instructor in intermedia at NSCAD University and has exhibited and performed throughout Canada and internationally.  Class Limit is 12.
