Join us the for opening reception of Alex Gibson’s exhibition A hound marks its spot. With the global rise of fascism, this body of photographic objects examines dynamics of power and submission through puppy play to subvert ongoing systems of oppression. “A hound marks its spot” disrupts a capitalist framework of labour, production, and intellect, through a queer lens of play and territory.
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, Vancouver; Tomato Mouse, New York; Artists Alliance, Bridgetown, Barbados.
