Colin Miner, "His dreadful glance" Invitation

Reception: Saturday, April 8, 7:00-11:00 PM

Artist Talk: Saturday, April 8, 7:46 PM 

Join us to celebrate the opening of His dreadful glance, a new exhibition by Colin Miner at Neutral Ground. The exhibition comprises an installation 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 an 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. 

Alongside this exhibition articulations take form as editioned artist print and short essay by Daniella Sanader. Sanader is a writer and reader who lives in Toronto. In her text accompanying Miner’s exhibition, she enacts short exercises in trying to see everything at once.

Colin Miner holds a PhD in Visual Art and Culture. He is the recipient of numerous awards and residencies, most recently in the Peruvian Amazon, and has presented exhibitions in Canada, China, and Germany. Miner’s art practice includes writing, facilitating exhibitions, and the artist project Moiré.

Colin Miner will give a short talk on the blue hour, at 7:46pm.
