Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver, is pleased to present the first comprehensive survey exhibition of work by New York based artist Anne Collier.
Over the past decade Anne Collier has forged a rigorous body of works that engage in a unique dialogue with contemporary photography. Collier produces tight, sparely formalized compositions often using a technique of re-photography. Her interest in mass market and pop culture imagery from the 1970s is expressed in carefully staged found photographs, and she has used diverse sources ranging from advertisements and posters, to art magazines and 70s vinyl LP covers. Her biting, dryly humorous compositions--some subtly self-reflexive--frame recurrent tensions of power and gender.
A full colour publication will be released in conjunction with the exhibition, available in March 2008. It will be the first to document Collier’s practice, and will include texts by NY based curator Bob Nickas and German critic Jan Verwoert, with an introduction by exhibition curator Reid Shier.

Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
Puisque l'instant sublime de la prise de vue ne ressemble à rien d'autre,
laissons le vivre : l'appareil n'est pas une cage.
l'oiseau pris en photo continue son vol.
