Sandra Stephens, Digital Image Appropriation (2012) of

Sandra Stephens’ work takes an in-depth look at how culture contributes to our construction of identities.

Pieces will look at race, class, gender and sexuality. She will explore how war propaganda simplifies and objectifies the view of the “other” – the “enemy”; the effect our visual culture has on identity, and how these both affect the lives and identities of children. Her video work will also touch on stereotyping and the danger it presents. She is interested in how and why we stereotype, and in how stereotyping contributes to historic and current-day events.

Join us for ArtRage’s first-ever solo exhibition by a video artist. Our darkened gallery will feature audio and video projections, several capturing the wisdom of children, that will pull the viewer in and play with perceptions; both of the projected image and its blurred relationship to reality.
