EXHIBITION STATEMENT
underseers debuts new work from artist Jason Lazarus.
For the artist, “the antonyms of the term ‘overseers’ disappoint, this exhibition is both journal and journalism, a turn away from foreclosure and toward possibility…”
Featuring new sculpture, concrete photography, and object-archives, this solo exhibition presents newly practiced modes of seeing the everyday. The artworks revisit encounters typically marked by a photographic event, but in this presentation, turn into other forms. By withholding images, Lazarus searches for methods of rewiring vision more intimately.
As part of the exhibition’s summer programming, Lazarus will debut a public reading of their new essay Listening for Monuments, a meditation on their growing used doorstop collection exhibited in underseers. In addition, the artist will engage the Dunedin Art Center’s summer youth arts program in the creation of new work.
BIO
Jason Lazarus is an artist exploring vision and visibility. His work includes a range of fluid methodologies: photography, found and appropriated images, text-as-image, photo-derived sculptures made individually and collaboratively with the public, live archives, film, video, LED light images, and public submission repositories among others. This expanded practice seeks new approaches of inquiry, embodiment, and bearing witness through both individual and collective research. As part of his current practice, he’s offering free editing and support to anyone who would like to write one for the first time, simply email a request to jasonlazarus.photo@gmail.com. More information on his work and research can be found at www.jasonlazarus.com.
