Notable exhibitions include The Contemporary Art Gallery (Vancouver), Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography (Tkaronto), 2nd Kamias Triennial (The Philippines), Beijing Center of Art (China). Responsive projects have developed from research into non-human subjectivity at the Banff Centre for the Arts (Treaty 7 Territory), Tambopata National Reserve (Peru), Sloth Island (Guyana), and La Datcha (Berlin). Ongoing engagements include Moire, a digital publication, and the experimental project space Moire’s Catwalk. Studies on the ontological anxiety of photography began during an MFA in Visual Art at The University of British Columbia and led to a practice-based research PhD in Art &amp; Visual Culture at Western University. Moire &amp; Moire’s Catwalkdigital publication &amp; artist project space A Photographic Ontology: Being Haunted within the Blue Hour and Expanding FieldPhD dissertation - Visual Arts (2014) What are the current boundaries of the photographic and how can an ontology of photography take form as a material and conceptual program of research? Responding to the difficulty inherent in any definitive attempt to grasp photography, this dissertation places emphasis on the less determined act of evoking as a model of dialogue, and engagement, with the photographic. Composed of two parts that engage both the question “What is photography?” and the ontological anxiety that shadows it. ajourneythatwasnt teaching/educational website minercolin(at)gmail.com CV appreciative of support from: &nbsp;&nbsp; <img width="239" height="60" width_o="239" height_o="60" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45e4b40d6a2dd3260cd25bec1465d654f2b0e228146480cebebf0a4cae64428b/cca-logo1.jpeg" data-mid="131400608" border="0" data-scale="63" data-no-zoom data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/239/i/45e4b40d6a2dd3260cd25bec1465d654f2b0e228146480cebebf0a4cae64428b/cca-logo1.jpeg" /> <img width="239" height="60" width_o="239" height_o="60" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/062f5f921a4f674b5994d74fb7a858d30a5d7528f62e6f5e7cd8127fbc113dac/oac-logo1.jpeg" data-mid="131400609" border="0" data-scale="63" data-no-zoom data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/239/i/062f5f921a4f674b5994d74fb7a858d30a5d7528f62e6f5e7cd8127fbc113dac/oac-logo1.jpeg" /> <img width="60" height="60" width_o="60" height_o="60" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/65d54e4aa8df6ee5a11d7d542e74449666b9f97717119d5b007a1774d1f93654/tac-logo1.jpeg" data-mid="131400610" border="0" data-scale="29" data-no-zoom data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/60/i/65d54e4aa8df6ee5a11d7d542e74449666b9f97717119d5b007a1774d1f93654/tac-logo1.jpeg" /> https://colinminer.com/the-clearest-image Mon, 20 Nov 2023 15:37:03 +0000 colinminer https://colinminer.com/the-clearest-image the clearest image This project explores disturbance regimes and possible methodologies for disrupting systems of control. It questions how meaning is created through the contextualization of images, and investigates how their contents and associated impacts can be visible and absent at the same time. The boar’s practice of rooting and wallowing mirrors Miner’s interest in shifting and disturbing patterns and systems, as the artist seeks a visual language through which to articulate the responsibility of engaging with images. Through an arrangement, Miner explores the impact of conceptual and physical displacement, such as patterns of migration—both willing and unwilling. In addition to troubling images, the exhibition includes sculpture, film/video, architectural intervention, and textile work to create a space of refuge in the context of migration. Moving through pathways created in the gallery space, viewers are invited to rest and wallow. Solo exhibition at Gallery 44 Centre for Contemprary Photography, Tkaronto.

What do they want? A few apples or acorns, the odd image, and many histories become unearthed and exposed to light. Like concepts waiting to be tossed up and overturned, as if doing so will give passage from mind to material. At times, their labour is anxious and peppered with long periods between forest and garden. Exactly what they are looking for is a question. We can only see that they are in the act of doing something. It is hard to know what lies under the surface even slightly and especially deeply, in that cool and dark dampness. But we can hold onto the certainty of moving—to the practice of poking, prying, searching, and roaming about—as an adaptable way of being that offers scattered remnants of presence and positions. Wallowing in the mud, we find things assembled in places they never belonged.

colinminer https://colinminer.com/the-blue-hour The Blue Hour&nbsp;Works that collectively act as a proposition to consider the futurity of the photographic image. Exhibition curated by Kimberly Phillips at The Contemporary Art Gallery (Vancouver, 2018). In reference to my doctoral dissertation A Photographic Ontology: Being Haunted within the Blue Hour and Expanding Field.&nbsp;PDF The fugitive and cyclical are ongoing starting points for Colin Miner, whose work traces the ontological anxiety that, in his words, “shadows” the photographic. Considering qualities of lightness, darkness, reflection and refraction, Miner seeks to evoke rather than capture photography’s qualities of relation. In The Blue Hour, a constellation of disparate objects and images are brought together to create converging lines of inquiry, which elliptically surface and resurface. Here, Miner approaches the photograph as a state of suspension; a manifestation of “space-crossed time.” Plaster and latex casts of dust covers for photographic equipment (collected by the artist for potential future use) are tinted by different hues of red light thrown by two neon sculptures whose spiral forms recall early 20th century Czech physician Jan Purkinje’s empirical studies of afterimages in the eye. A large-scale print portrays the slippage of silver emulsion across the surface of a photographic plate – quite literally, an image of photography’s unfixed state. This movement of glittering emulsion is echoed once again in the diminutive but mesmerizing video&nbsp;Untitled (snail)&nbsp;(2017), which follows, in an endless loop, the barely perceptible movement of a large Peruvian snail – an animal which, one might argue, both secretes time and carries it upon its back. As writer Jacqueline Mabey remarks about Miner’s work, in a statement that might also be applied to the conditions of photography as a whole, “you can try to fix the image, but it will never stick. The temporality of the photograph is not the ‘there-then’ but contains the kernel of potential futures, held in eternal ‘yet-could-be.’” Installation views.&nbsp; 4K video, C-print, inkjet prints,

https://colinminer.com/the-man-who-day-after-day-took-pictures-of-shadows Sat, 05 Mar 2022 23:26:09 +0000 colinminer https://colinminer.com/the-man-who-day-after-day-took-pictures-of-shadows The man, who day after day, took pictures of shadows A while ago that still feels recent, I learned to walk with a cat. We followed many paths, like methodologies, which often offered long waits for things that would not appear. Alongside, my eyes began looking for birds, an occupation that came naturally. Colour, form, movement, and specific qualities of relations proposed comparisons to be translated through depictions in books. Familiar with looking for details in contrast to positions of movement, my eyes became disciplined on stillness. Having trained them to see birds, my eyes turned curious for cats. And so, walking with one cat lead to a lot of walking looking for cats. Previously there appeared not to be many cats &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and now, many many cats. The works in this exhibition draw from lithography plate images and moiré patterns to create conversations with cats that have crossed my path while going for walks — catwalks. Exhibition at Open Studios (Toronto, 2018) developed through the Visiting Artist Residency, and with technical + production assistance from Pudy Tong. Installation views. Variable photo-litho plates, inkjet prints, cast bronze, feathers, wood, pipe cleaners, tape, and tack-it. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000"

colinminer https://colinminer.com/two-toed-lassitude two toed lassitude Bringing together disparate works and converging lines of inquiry, Two Toed Lassitude&nbsp;comes together as a composition, an ever-changing assemblage, growing and evolving through associations, assonances and absence. Much like the ways tiny polyps form coral or trees become a forest, the works shift and expand through proximity to one another, building density of meaning where the political becomes visible through the absent, cyclical and askew. This is the way Miner works, cropping out part of an older work and reconfiguring it in a new context, returning to an idea from a different point of view, inverting scale and colour, making movement imperceptibly slow, transforming objects that were once slack to be rigid and allowing stiffness to slump. The works become scaffolding to expansive ideas that layer materials and metaphors as a way to point to something overlooked or forgotten. Created over a series of residencies – Banff, Peru and the Bruce Peninsula – the works weave an unfolding understanding of the natural world with one that is temporarily arrested through imagery, allowing for slowed and lassitudinous way of looking.

20:22:55 +0000 colinminer https://colinminer.com/his-dreadful-glance his dreadful glance An arrangement of new work developed in conversation with processes of dodging and burning. The exhibition engages an anxiety that shadows the photographic and its production of meaning through lightness, darkness, reflection, refraction. Hands grasp, pose, and waver. At angle an eye opens and closes, a spiral unravels, and a leaf hopes to hypnotize offering access to the political through the absent and present, cyclical, and askew. Solo exhibition at Neutral Ground (Regina, 2017) with essay by Daniella Sanader “Excercises for Seeing Everything at Once”. PDF Installation views. HD video, silver gelatin contact print, inkjet prints, risographic prints, Zink prints, cast bronze, available plinth, matboard, paint, tape, and vinyl wall text.&nbsp; <img width="1800" height="1200"

colinminer https://colinminer.com/possible-worlds Possible WorldsTwo installations of work that explore water, fluidity and transformation as evidence of the cyclical nature of time. Miner’s visual propositions avoid a didactic opinion on water, instead posing questions about the disruption of its cycles by climate change as witnessed in our age. Two of Miner’s images reference an exposed “eye” of blue ice photographed on the Columbia Icefield during an artists’ residency at the Banff Centre in 2012. When Miner revisited in late 2014, looking for the site he was struck with dramatic change—the terrain had shifted. The ice was blackened with a soot-like substance, perhaps a by-product of nearby forest fires. That day, rain and lack of light prevented a second photograph. It was back in the studio that the artist decided to recompose the original image through an “inversion” of colour. Miner’s juxtaposition of the two images, the two “eyes” facing one another, shows a transition from dark to light telling a troubling story of how rapidly nature and water can and do shift. Inherent in the layering of imagery in a third image is the phenomenon of the residual light “shadow” on the viewer’s retina—the highlights in the photograph burn white. Perching on the frame, the artist has attached a sprue (a bronze casting by product taken from the conduit to the mold in the foundry process) to which he clips a card with a geometric shape and an excision of white frail paper acting as a visual key to an absent neon work. In this complex manifestation, the artist raises the paradox of presence and absence in art. The artist reminds us that water has a liquid intelligence that offers a potentiality—it is only when objects emerge, becoming separate from water, that they acquire the limitations of time.
