Stephen Broomer & Dan Browne: Superimposition
Artist's Stephen Broomer and Dan Browne work together for their collaborative show at Ryerson's I.M.A Gallery.
Broomer and Browne met in 2009 as members of the Loop Collective, an experimental film group started in 1996 at Ryerson University, where both are currently pursuing PhDs in the Communication and Culture program. This show emphasizes an aesthetic characteristic their work shares the superimposition of diverse images within a single pictorial plane.
Stephen Broomer’s photography draws from diverse influences such as the calligraphic palimpsest paintings of Cy Twombly and the avant-garde films of Bruce Baillie. As in Twombly’s late polaroids, Broomer’s work is also committed to eternal and mythological themes.
Dan Browne’s memento mori is a multimedia project generated from a digital archive of images gathered over a decade of working as a photographer, and re-contextualized through experimental image processing into a multi-layered time-lapse to generate an accelerated and intentionally distorted personal history recorded at the junction of technology and internal perceptual experience.
Working together in one space the two create a dynamic show completely submerging the audience into their work.
January 9th - February 2nd 2013
Opening Reception:
Thursday January 17th, 6 - 9 p.m.
