Michael Peven

May 30 - September 13, 2003 Admission

Michael Peven will devote several galleries to monumental, grid-structured photographs of his border collie. Each of these tiled laser prints measure 84” x 132”. Mr. Peven is on the faculty at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.
“These works have to do with an investigation of the photograph as an iconographic representation of reality presented at the scale of architecture. By removing context and amplifying scale, it can bring certain culturally assumed preconceptions about photography to the forefront, asking us to reconsider what we think we already know.” –Michael Peven
