FRED HERZOG – IN COLOR

Posted on 2013-01-14

Herzog has received significant critical attention over the past five years, beginning with his first major exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the publication of his first monograph FRED HERZOG: VANCOUVER PHOTOGRAPHS, in 2007. Especially in Europe his celebration of American cars and culture, offhand points of view and a rich palette have garnered much attention and resulted in major publications and exhibitions, and a comparison to fellow European Robert Frank.

This increased attention inspired Herzog to look more closely at original slides previously overlooked and never before printed. Our exhibition includes twenty works from 1957-2001, taken in Vancouver as well as Portland, Kansas City and Curacao. In addition to a marvelous eye for color, this selection also reveals his strong sense of abstraction.

Opposite – Crossing Powell, 1984

Exhibition runs through till January 26th, 2013

CHARLOTTE DUMAS – ANIMA

Posted on 2013-01-14

Anima. The series was commissioned by and recently exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and is comprised of portraits of the majestic burial horses of Arlington National Cemetery. Dumas photographed these animals in their stalls as they relaxed and moved towards sleep after a day of work. Exposed only with available light, these pictures are both powerful and intimate. She has also created a video work that will be screened in the project gallery portraying the animals as they drift in and out of sleep.

Dumas travels the world making evocative formal portraits of animals, characterizing them by their utility, social function, or by the way they relate to people. “The bond between mankind and animals, and the extensive history that it accompanies, is my great interest,” says Dumas as she seeks to express how humans “use and regard animals for our own purposes, literally and symbolically.”

Exhibition runs through till March 9th, 2013

KEITH ARNATT – WORKS 1967 – 1996

Posted on 2013-01-14

To highlight Arnatt’s conceptual approach, this survey combines texts, sculptural installation and photographically realised works as well as photographs. Early pieces from the 1960s in the form of artist’s prints are set alongside text pieces and a floor-based sculpture created in accordance with Arnatt’s instruction. The work ‘KEITH ARNATT IS AN ARTIST’ questions the role of the artist as a whole. Arnatt was also interested in expanding the meaning and function of an artwork in terms of its relationship to the discrete acts of bringing a work into being.

Groups of photographs such as ‘Walking the Dog’ and ‘The Forest’ from the 1970’s and 80’s reveal Arnatt’s analytic method of working and emphasise the point at which he adopted the camera as his primary tool for producing art rather than documenting it. Series from this period use an observational style influenced by Arnatt’s awareness of the typological preoccupations of artists and photographers as diverse as Bernd and Hilla Becher and Robert Adams.
