Kerplunk! presents the work of visual art students graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. The sound from which the exhibition draws its name is an onomatopœic or echoic formation intended to imitate the sound or the effect of the fall of some heavy body. It is a sound with the capacity to surprise which announces itself with a decisive thud. It is a word that hems closely to the phenomena it describes.

The works presented rage from a large scale painting and collage, to video, sculpture, drawing and installation. As a cohort that has explored in parallel to one another over the past 4 years, this presentation shows a furtive attempt to chart a shared sensibility across diverse material approaches and conceptual concerns.
