“Art is an outlet toward regions which are not ruled by time and space”
— Marcel Duchamp

Avant-Guardian Musings is a curated space of ideas and information, resources, reviews and readings for undergraduate and graduate students studying modern and contemporary art history and visual art theory, film and photography studies, and the expanding field of visual culture and screen studies. For students currently enrolled in my courses or the field school, the blog and associated social media links also serve as a place of reflection and an extension of the ideas and visual material raised in lecture and seminar discussion.

Beating the heat and ripping up some trails in Pacific Spirit Park today. So glad Bri got these shots to remind me how amazing it is up here among the cedars. We used to ride up here a lot when we first met— a very special place💚🌲🙌🏻🚵🏻‍♀️#mountainbiking #mountainbike #trailriding #pacificspiritpark #vancouver #beautifulbc #forestlove #beattheheat #summertime

One year today.... meeting my goals on #facetofacefriday -43lbs, -15% body fat, +100% energy. No special diet or crazy workouts. I count calories, lift heavy weights, run/walk, eat plenty of protein, drink lots of water, and get 7-8 hours sleep a night. Most importantly, I have made my health and fitness as important as my career, academic, and intellectual pursuits. Life is too short people, and I still have LOTS left to do!💃❤️ #strengthtraining #womenwholift #ladieswholift #facetofacefriday #profswholift #cico #caloriesincaloriesout #sabbaticallife #academics #arthistorian #weightlosstransformation #fortiesandfit

Nothing makes me happier than seeing public space in high use around the city. All of those new French orange chairs in front of the VAG that people scoffed at are providing the perfect setup for a sunny al fresco lunch. Such awesome atmosphere. We could all learn a thing or two from Parisians and New Yorkers about enjoying urban space in style. It looks good on you Vancouver. #publicspaces #urbanlife #urbandesign #vancouver #alfresco
