This upcoming Saturday will be the opening of a group exhibition at the Surrey Art Gallery<\/a> titled Scenes of Selves, Occasions for Ruses<\/em>. I will be exhibiting a series of self-portrait paintings dating from 2006 to 2011, many of which have never been exhibited in Vancouver, and all of which have never been shown alongside each other.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the opening of the exhibition, as I am in Reykjavik for the remainder of September, but if you are in Vancouver or Surrey, I invite you to see the show. The Surrey Art Gallery is an amazing gallery space, and they have strong programming under the direction of curator Jordan Strom. I feel really honoured to be a part of this exhibition, and while I will not be there for the opening, I will be taking part in a panel discussion later in November.<\/p>\n

In the era of status updates, photo sharing websites, and profile pictures, one\u2019s image and therefore one\u2019s identity presented to the world is more important, changeable, and multi-dimensional than ever before. Surrey Art Gallery\u2019s new group exhibition Scenes of Selves, Occasions for Ruses features artworks by 10 artists in a wide variety of media \u2013 including drawing, painting, photography, and video \u2013 that explore the nature of identity, and particularly self identity, at the beginning of the 21st century.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portrayals of oneself have come a long way since D\u00fcrer and Rembrandt developed self-portraiture as an artistic genre in the 16th and 17th centuries. Contemporary artists have made self-portraiture \u2013 and representation of themselves as stand-ins for \u2018the other\u2019 \u2013 a vibrant centre of art making today. As new communication tools have led to identity becoming increasingly connected to complex and overlapping social networks, today\u2019s artists are re-examining self-representation at the limits of self-portraiture. How artists see and represent themselves reveals much about how we perceive ourselves and others.<\/p>\n
