Blaine Campbell

Blaine Campbell is an Alberta-based artist working in photography, sculpture, and video, currently dividing time between Edmonton and Vancouver. Campbell’s thematic interests have included the inherent properties of the photograph and its relation to the viewer, landscape use and modification, processes of mediation and artifice in relation to transcendent experience, and parallels between Jacques Derrida’s “textuality” and quantum theory. Campbell holds a BFA in photography (2007) from Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Vancouver, and he previously obtained B.Math and M.Sc. degrees in mathematics. Recently, Campbell completed artist residencies at the Banff Centre, and at the TRIUMF particle and nuclear physics lab at the University of British Columbia. He also presented a solo show at the Art Gallery of Alberta, and was included in the exhibition Bombhead at the Vancouver Art Gallery. He is represented by Republic Gallery.
