Laurie Kang: Eidetic Tides

Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, AB - Dec 7, 2019 – Feb 16, 2020

by Robin Laurance

Toronto artist Laurie Kang works across media, including photography, sculpture, and video. Her SAAG installation deconstructs and reconstitutes photographic materials and processes and probes the “eidetic” nature of afterimages. She suspends distressed photographic paper on flexible metal frames, which can be reconfigured within the gallery space. Kang also employs other unexpected objects and materials, stating, “My work exists in literal and metaphoric states of becoming and unfixity.”
