Artist Talk
In Conversation: Alex Gibson with Christopher Lacroix | A hound marks its spot
ADMISSION
Free
Please join Will Aballe as he hosts Alex Gibson and Christopher Lacroix in conversation, discussing Gibson’s solo exhibition, A hound marks its spot.
Alex Gibson (b. 1994, Barbados) is a queer artist who filters digital and material processes to generate imagery, and archive ephemera through image making, video, and installation. They work with and through images as sites to examine queer space, temporality, and geopolitical environments, often using found photographs, objects, and appropriated media to reference existing networks. Gibson’s work has been exhibited at Fondazione Antonio Ratti, Como, Italy; Capture Photography Festival, Vancouver; Wil Aballe Art Projects, Vancouver; Tomato Mouse, New York; Artists Alliance, Bridgetown, Barbados.
Christopher Lacroix (b. 1986, Edmonton) is a PhD student in the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. His work yields queer perspectives through conceptually and formally absurd explorations of materials and objects. These queer perspectives are often a blend of humour, refusal, and aspirations for alternative relations or futures. Lacroix received an MFA from the University of British Columbia (2018) and a BFA from Toronto Metropolitan University (2012). In 2018 he was awarded the Lind Prize for emerging lens-based artists, and was long-listed for the 2021 Scotiabank New Generation Photography Award. He lives and works in Vancouver which is located on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
