Sara Cwynar: Gilded Age II

The Polygon Gallery, North Vancouver, BC - To Sep 22

by Robin Laurance

Brooklyn-based Canadian artist Sara Cwynar has worked across photography, collage, books and installation. In her Polygon exhibition, she presents photographs of a wide range of images and materials she has collected, archived, collaged and/or installed – sometimes with models – to create “kaleidoscopic tableaus.” Her ostensible subjects range from deaccessioned library books to e-commerce photo shoots, raising questions about the ways society assigns meaning and attributes value.
