Kelly Lycan | Documentation Study (Rumination 3, SFU Burnaby)
2014-15 | digital photograph a/p | 17 x 11 in

We are fortunate to have such a delicate and distinct photographic work by Kelly Lycan. This definitive image is from an elaborate installation Autobiography for No One that presented a conglomeration of all and nearly white materials as a still life to be walked through. For this new work made specifically for our event, Lycan has distilled and stilled, re-purposed and re-contextualized the value of display.

Kelly Lycan is an installation and photo-based artist who resides in Vancouver. Her work re-purposes and re-contextualizes objects and images to investigate strategies of display and cycles of value. Lycan studied still photography at Ryerson Polytechnical University, Toronto; received her BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Halifax; and holds an MFA from the University of California, Santa Barbra and Los Angeles. Her recent solo exhibitions include Little Glow, Susan Hobbs Gallery, Toronto; Underglow, Presentation House Gallery, North Vancouver; Autobiography for No One, Simon Fraser University Gallery, Burnaby; Bronze Tinfoil Ball, OR Gallery, Vancouver; White Hot, Gallery TPW, Toronto; and Save Now, CSA Gallery, Vancouver. Lycan was an active member of the artist collective Instant Coffee from 2005 to 2015 and together they have participated in frequent national and international exhibitions. Some of Lycan’s recent exhibitions with Instant Coffee include Magic Hour, Nikkei Art Gallery, Burnaby; Pink Noise, Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops; Bunker Project, Incheon Art Gallery, Incheon, South Korea; Feeling So Much Yet Doing So Little, Western Front, Vancouver; and Disco Fallout Shelter, Subvision Hamburg, Germany and Toronto Sculpture Garden. She is a 2016 recipient of Vancouver’s VIVA award.
