Colin Doyle Work from his oeuvre. “I am an artist. I make pictures of commonplace objects—a diaper, a skyscraper, dirt. My days are spent in an image-saturated culture and a densely populated city. I often feel like I am in over my head, as if my actions, my existence, and my work are of little […]

Amie Siegel Work from Black Moon. “The centerpiece of this three-part work is “Black Moon,” a partial remaking of Louis Malle’s 1975 film of the same title. A present-day science-fiction without dialogue, Siegel’s “Black Moon” traverses multiple film tropes – action, guns, lonely campfires, the end of the world – and, like its band of […]

Brian Khek Work from his oeuvre. “Interpreting our relationship with information as a visual spectrum of didactic signifiers, the images in my work subjugate and expand physical experiences simultaneously. The fixed image inherently rephrases an experience. Documentation of this work is not interchangeable with the original object. It instead behaves as a different language through […]

Corinne Vionnet Work from Photo Opportunities. “For most, to sightsee is to photograph. Embarking on treasure hunts to tourist destinations renowned for monuments of grandeur, we pursue the extraordinary. Framing sites of mass tourism in our viewfinders, we create photographic souvenirs that are integral to the touristic experience. These products, coined “photograph-trophies”i by Susan Sontag, separate […]

Contrary to the visually pluralistic tendencies of other artists with mixed allegiances to Pop and Conceptual art as well […]

Michael Sherwin Work from Flux and Form Series “In this series of large format inkjet prints, I set the camera to automatically take pictures each minute as I walk along familiar paths.

Aaron Gustafson Work from Bonus Baby “I cut out my likeness from each photo as a way of reimagining the moments and to reconcile unremembered or painful past moments with my present self…The photographs are open-ended, ambiguous, and dishonest.” – Aaron Gustafson

David Semeniuk Work from Landscape Permutations “Landscape Permutations is a series of imaginative recombinations of specific sites within my hometown – Red Deer, Alberta. In it, I investigate the relationship between a place and the specific sites that make up its (sub)urban landscape. I began this series by asking, what does it mean when different […]
