Sara Vanderbeek October 6, 2010

Sara VanDerBeek's quiet semi-abstract photographs are based predominantly on sculptural forms created by the artist. In the past, she has collected pictures from various sources, including art history books, archives, magazines and newspapers, incorporating them into sculptures that are made only to be photographed in the artist's studio. (After being photographed, the sculptures are immediately dismantled, and VanDerBeek's pictures provide the only remaining evidence of the temporary structure.) In her work on view in this exhibition, VanDerBeek continues this practice, yet she couples it with ventures outside the studio to explore the subtle perceptual shifts of the sun.
