I’m participating in a group exhibition in Toronto this fall, curated by Rose Bouthillier and featuring work by myself, Althea Thauberger and Lars Laumann.

From Prefix:

“To Be Real,” a group exhibition featuring three internationally emerging artists who investigate collaborative, pseudo-ethnographic image making in contemporary photography and video. The subjects of the works are removed from the “real world” in formal, psychological, and physical ways. This isolation encourages a tentative, autonomous selfhood, constructed through narrative, gestures, and symbolism. Working between collaboration and direction, each artist takes on the role of participant–observer: achieving closeness with subjects, while at the same time distancing them through the structural conventions of language and images.”

A review of the show by David Balzar can be found here.

In the latest issue of Front Magazine I interview artist Keith Langergraber about his recent show at The Western Front, his interest in science fiction and the intersections of fan culture & contemporary art.

The fall 2010 issue of Front Magazine explores semi-fame, niche popularity, local heroes, fan culture, obsession and adoration.

Front Magazine is published quarterly by the Western Front Society in Vancouver, British Columbia.
