Matt Lipps: “The Populist Camera”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Populist Camera\u201d is a solo show of new\u00a0photographs by Matt Lipps. The exhibition consists of intriguing still lives that combine\u00a0appropriated imagery with personal photographs. Using collage strategies, sculptural tropes\u00a0and theater staging techniques, Lipps\u2019 series is a requiem for analog image-making, which is\u00a0relevant to the ubiquity of photography in the digital age.<\/p>\n

The source material for Lipps\u2019 series is a seventeen-volume set of books\u00a0called “Library of Photography”, published in the 1970s by Time-Life. Meant to be a\u00a0comprehensive how-to manual, the books were illustrated with hundreds of mostly black-and-white photographs. Lipps has cut out and assembled almost 500 figures from the books,\u00a0building cardboard structures for them, so they become autonomous, moveable \u201cactors,\u201d\u00a0representing divergent realities, on a multi-tiered proscenium.<\/p>\n

The colourful backgrounds of the series come from 35mm photographs taken by Lipps when\u00a0he was a photography student. The warm emotional colour of the authored photographs\u00a0contrasts dramatically with the cool distant appearance of the appropriated ones. The\u00a0combination of authored and found photographs creates a tension between the subjective\u00a0and objective uses of the medium and its perspectives on history.<\/p>\n

Matt Lipps received his MFA from the University of California, Irvine. His work is in\u00a0the collection of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los\u00a0Angeles, the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, The Pilara Foundation\/Pier 24 and the Saatchi\u00a0Gallery. He is Assistant Professor of Art at San Francisco State University.<\/p>\n
