The interdisciplinary art practice of François Quévillon investigates how technology affects or redefines human cognition, culture, the environment, and our relationships to space, to time, and to one another. His work addresses planetary changes as well as those affecting contemporary media. 

Often what the viewer sees in Quévillon's compositions seems uncanny or alien -- yet somehow still recognizable as being part of "our world". These machine-rendered 'ways of seeing' reflect our environment and experiences back to us while reminding us that our familiar, human-centred construct of time and space is but one way of processing reality. 

Barbara Alper’s long career as a photojournalist, street photographer, and fine art photographer is well-represented in our selection of items available through our partnership with Getty Images Gallery. Now, Barbara is opening her personal photo archive to offer collectors access to a selection of vintage prints.

Barbara and I got together via Zoom to talk about her art practice and some favourite pictures from her archives. We covered a lot of ground, which I’ve broken up into two elements; a 15-minute video tour of vintage prints conducted by Barbara from her studio in New York City, followed by additional transcribed commentary from Barbara outlining aspects of her life and career.
