Vermont Center for Photography August show;
This retrospective exhibition presents images from Siri Kaurs ongoing investigations into photographic portraiture. Her pictures of people are the byproduct of conflict. They offer an outline of the negotiation between competing agendas, not only between that of the artist and the sitter, but also between ones internal idealized image, and the one that is culturally ascribed to us. Kaurs portraits are located at the uncomfortable midpoint between self and other, the accumulation of myriad forces that are impossible to represent. It is this ambiguity that lends her portraiture its seduction.
This exhibition will be on display from Friday, August 1st, 2014 through Sunday, August 31st.
Opening Reception: Friday, August 1st from 5:30 to 8:30pm.
