Clair Falkenberg
Heart-Land
March 14–April 12, 2003

Two-person exhibition with Edward Pratt Foley.

Claire Falkenberg presents a series of altered landscape photographs whose surfaces have been complicated by being defaced, painted, scratched, and collaged onto. Falkenberg’s source photographs are, at first viewing, seemingly non-descript landscapes, but actually depict literally and conceptually “hot” areas immediately surrounding the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Falkenberg generates photographs of “in-between places, neglected suburban pockets that are rarely more than a blur through the windshield.”
