Statement:
Showing works of art for the first time is an intimate process. The act of unveiling places the artist in a vulnerable and uncertain position. UN/SEEN represents a collaboration between La Petite Mort and students from the School of Photographic Arts: Ottawa. For this exhibit I have been privileged to peer into students’ folders of “works in progress” and to select works that have not yet been displayed to the public, along with Michael Tardioli, director of SPAO.
The photographers exhibited here – all students in the second year of
the full-time program at SPAO – generously opened their portfolios to our eyes, inviting the risks and uncertainties of revelation, reaction, and judgment. UN/SEEN is an homage to the courage that is required to reveal one’s innermost creative journeys for the first time. We are pleased to have the opportunity to introduce these works, and look forward to future opportunities to unveil and behold New Works by students from the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa.
