SEPTEMBER 12 - OCTOBER 10
Vancouver-based Kelly Lycan’s practice looks at the way objects are valued and devalued dependent upon their place and display. As a monochromatic installation and photo-based exhibition of recycled objects and re-visioned collections, WHITE HOT looks at this idea of value and the relationships between market culture and visual culture. Throughout the course of the exhibition, using a range of display and representational strategies, Lycan will be restyling the installation of objects borrowed, scavenged and created by both Lycan and other invited artists. In residence for the duration of the project, as a performative gesture, Lycan manages the WHITE HOT flea market every Saturday at the gallery. Shopping is encouraged.
Kelly Lycan received her BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and her MFA from the University of California, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. She has exhibited in solo and group shows in Canada and the US, most recently at CSA Gallery in Vancouver. She is also a member of Instant Coffee, a service oriented artist collective that builds social structures, where ideas, materials and actions are explored. Instant Coffee has exhibited in Canada, South America, Europe and the USA.
