Jennifer Campbell: Point No Point
Exhibition Running: April 2 -30, 2010
Opening: First Thursday, April 1 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Set against the iconic landscape of the Pacific Northwest, this phenomenal video exhibition portrays the artist’s body emulating, inciting or re-imagining different beacons, signals, and forces of nature. Whether it’s trudging through the ocean to become a human lighthouse, triggering Mt. Rainier to erupt or walking on clouds, the body becomes a medium for experimentation often employing a tragic humor akin to that of commedia dell’ arte grotesque or physical theatre.
Born in Vancouver, BC and educated in Victoria and Montreal, Campbell moved to Seattle in 2008 to serve as director of Crawl Space, a critically acclaimed non-profit exhibition space for early career artists. Although Crawl Space closed in late 2009, Campbell continues to live and pursue her studio practice in Seattle. Her photo-based work has been exhibited internationally; Gallery4Culture is proud to have the opportunity to present this new body of work.
