GHOST PHOTOGRAPHS :: Angela Deane

CUNSTHAUS

Angela Deane has been in residence at CUNSTHAUS since late March working on a series entitled, Ghost Photographs. It is a body of work she began during a residency in the town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

Her interventions on found vernacular photographs are playful provocations, which revel in the very plastic nature of a photograph. By painting out the figures, the images are transformed and their original context subsumed. Angela’s work has been exhibited in venues across the United States and her recent works will be included in a major exhibition in South Korea this summer. Angela opens the doors of her studio to visitors on Friday from 6-9pm for First Friday on April 7.
