Lynne Cohen is best known for her photographs of institutional interior spaces. Generally inaccessible to the public, these spaces have included medical laboratories, private offices, factories, shooting ranges, and military installations. This exhibition represents the first time in several decades that Cohen’s work has been exhibited on the West Coast. Including loans from the Canada Council Art Bank, the estate of Lynne Cohen, and Olga Korper Gallery, Toronto, this exhibition brings together work from the 1970s through to the early 2000s.
Cohen was born in Racine, Wisconsin, and lived and worked in Canada from 1973 until her death in 2014. She was the recipient of numerous awards of merit, including the Governor General’s Award in Visual Arts and Media Arts in 2005.
