BODY: BUILDING
Curated by Jeanne Friscia
Body: Building presents a group of artists working in a variety of photographic and media arts who focus on the body in relationship to space and architecture. The bodies represented here are activated by their real, psychological, and virtual spaces and draw upon the vocabulary of architecture - construction, scale, space, and time in an effort to explore self and the experience of physical presence.
In their viewer-activated video installation the Toronto-based collaborative team of David Warne and Kevin Krivel, create a collision of physical experience and memory in the context of a world where our bodies and minds are more and more hyper-extended over time and space. Hannah Hammond-Hagman’s color photographs measure and map an imaginary body in specific sites personal to the artist in an effort to connect memory, body, and space. Alan Labb’s photographs and photographic installation of images of male and female bodies play with scale in gender relationships in order to reconsider established identifications of power and strength in representations of the male. In Anneé Olofsson’s large-scale color photographs the persona disappears and the body is morphed by its domestic surroundings bringing to mind issues of invisibility. Shirley Shor creates soft-ware art a self in constant transition, organically regenerating, and constantly challenging our perceptions of boundaries between each other .
