COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not the Whole Picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Whatcom Museum in Bellingham, Washington USA
22 March-27 July 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Not the Whole Picture” is a comprehensive exhibition of Garth and Pierre\u2019s collaborative and individual works of photography, painting, and mixed media, and the first major museum exhibition for the Bellingham, Washington-based artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition takes its name from a new, large-scale photography installation that anchors the exhibition. Printed photographs are stitched together into enormous, radiating rings that evoke devotional mandalas. The photographs explore the universality of everyday moments–birthdays, travel, shared meals, pets, celebrations, mourning–and, in ring form, act as calendars imbued with time and memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amundson and Gour primarily draw their source imagery from their own extensive personal collection as well as from those contributed by community members. The aim for the artists is that through universal and wide-ranging themes, visitors can envision themselves in the artwork, prompting conversations around empathy and understanding through shared experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic partners for nearly forty years, Garth Amundson and Pierre Gour explore the perceptions and politics surrounding immigration, concepts of home, and queer identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
