Join artists Maya Fuhr and Angela Grossmann together with curator Nikki Peck for a talk moderated by Sophie Brodovitch.
Maya Fuhr (b. 1989) is a Victoria-born, Los Angeles–based multimedia artist whose installations and photographs examine iconography, identity, and consumer culture. Working across photography, performance, and installation, her layered images explore the tension between concealment and revelation. Fuhr’s work has been exhibited at Patel Brown, the Art Gallery of Ontario, SADE Gallery (Los Angeles), and at fairs including NADA and Art Toronto. Her editorial photography includes campaigns for Chanel and Coach.
For nearly four decades, Angela Grossmann (b. 1955) has been recognized for her relentless probe into the complexities of identity, gender politics, and displacement. The subjects of her paintings, photo-based collages, and mixed-media works are the human form, culled from a vast archive of images collected by the artist that includes art-historical references, postcards, and found snapshots. Expressive, fluid, and frequently elusive, Grossmann’s figures are reframed and recontextualized, revealing the ambiguous and shifting boundaries between our public and private selves. Angela Grossmann lives and works in Vancouver, Canada.
Nikki Peck is a Vancouver-based curator, artist, and art consultant with over 15 years of experience working across galleries, institutions, and artist studios. She holds an MFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and a BFA from Concordia University. Peck previously worked with Blanket Gallery, Winsor Gallery, and Macaulay + Co. Fine Art, and co-founded Telephone Gallery. She has curated exhibitions at Winsor Gallery, Space Gallery, and Patel Brown, with a forthcoming exhibition at Equinox Gallery. Peck serves on the BC Women’s Health Foundation Art Collection Committee. This exhibition marks her second collaborative curatorial project with Maya Fuhr.
