The portrait has long been a way of denying mortality, of leaving a lasting
image, evidence of an individual existence. The artists in this exhibit
portray themselves and others, transforming the stasis of still photography
and painting into movement. In doing so, resurrection occurs to differing
degrees. Animation literally signifies life, or at least the suspension of
death. Those portrayed in these works are caught in dreams and nightmares,
playing the specter and apparition, confronting and seducing, drifting in
anonymity or evoking recognition. An absence of specific place or time is
prevalent throughout, a condition that heightens the presence of persona or
personae. They move and we are moved.
Participating artists: Luc Courchesne, Bea de Visser, A.K. Dolven, Gregory
Barsamian, Bruce Cannon, Bill Viola
