Scott Massey

Artist

Scott Massey’s work explores the confluence of art and science whereby he accentuates and amplifies natural phenomena, often heightened through artificial means or via slight manipulations, based on research into areas of physics, cosmology, astronomy, and other scientific disciplines. Light as a medium and image-making apparatus are fundamental aspects of his practice, employed in both the creation and presentation of works. His image-based artworks confound normal methodologies of the media, perhaps by inverting processes or corrupting the apparatus, and his sculptural works often employ a performative or durational element that further activates the work.

Massey holds a BFA in photography from the Emily Carr University of Art + Design (Vancouver) and has participated in residencies at the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture (Dawson City  YK), the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Banff AB, 2010 & 2017), Dazibao/PRIM (Montreal QC), Lumen Collective (Atina, Italy). He has been awarded numerous production/creation grants from the BC Arts Council and the Canada Council, as well as a number of other scholarships and awards.

Solo exhibitions include Movement Without Moving, VU Photo, Quebec City; Black Hole Sun (with Blaine Campbell) at Republic Gallery, Vancouver (2016); Unstable Ground, Burnaby Art Gallery (2015); Light Adjustments, Dazibao, Montreal (2014/15); Let’s Reach c Together, Charles H. Scott Gallery, Vancouver (2013); The Day Breaks, Gallery295, Vancouver (2013); Topologies and Limits, CSA Space, Vancouver (2011); Swan Song, Luminato Festival, Toronto (2009); Collapse: Spill 01, Artspeak, Vancouver (2004). His work has also been included in group shows at Gallery44, Toronto; Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; the Columbus College of Art+Design, Ohio; Contact Photography Festival, Toronto.

Currently, Massey lives and works on Bowen Island BC.
