Jochen Lempert: Field Guide

Jochen Lempert, Field Guide, May 7 to July 17, 2016. Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, Canada. Photograph SITE photography

At a glance, Jochen Lempert’s photographs seem to belong to a bygone era. Their use of repetition and a characteristically indexical photographic approach allude to a mid-nineteenth century scientific aesthetic, and yet, for the inquisitive viewer, a closer look reveals this initial encounter to be deceiving.

Reconstructive Memory

Reconstructive Memory, Installation View

'Reconstructive Memory' is an English term borrowed from cognitive psychology meaning that memory is not a faithful reproduction of past events but rather a mental faculty based on recollection-reconstruction processes. Depending on our emotions, our level of tiredness, our beliefs, we may reconstruct episodes from our lives in a way that leads to distortions, alterations and false memories.

Inflected Objects # 2 Circulation – Otherwise, Unhinged

Inflected Objects # 2, Installation View

'Inflected Objects' proposes an understanding of art objects as transient things, assemblages of materials whose destinies remain unknown, and as propositions for assimilation and disintegration. At a time in which the extraction of value from every available asset seems the dominant imperative, the artworks here display forms of waste, non-use and degradation.

No Quiet Place

Sixteen small speakers are attached to the high wall and connected by wires to a computer, as if the building itself is hooked up to some kind of cardiac monitor. These noises, as it turns out, are not the internal organs of The Tetley but a series of audio clips of empty gun shell casings falling to the floor. Review by Sacha Waldron

Liz West: Solstice Ritual

Liz West, Solstice Ritual, Installation view, 2016, Optically clear Yellow & Hot Pink Vinyl

Liz West’s mediation in the pavilion is a simple layering of coloured optical film onto each and every pane of window, allowing the breadth of the gallery, the sunrise, sunset and the mutable nature of our retinas to do the rest. Review by Sam Perry
