A solo exhibition showcasing a range of new multimedia work including photographs, drawings and stop motion animation.
For the past four years the Chicago-based Swiss artist Selina Trepp has created her work using only the material already on hand in her Garfield Park studio. Painting and re-painting the same canvases and building and destroying objects using the same materials, Trepp creates elaborate installations that she photographs before once again recycling her materials. The resulting images are innovative portraits that highlight issues surrounding material waste and the productivity of scarcity. The commitment to this approach is both political, referencing a long-held stance on ecology and over-consumption, and philosophical, a consideration of the economy of gesture and the power of creativity itself.
