LIZ DESCHENES
Liz Deschenes uses photography’s fundamental elements of light, chemistry, and time to explore the inherent meaning of the medium. She has long explored the role of colour in connection with processes ranging from video compositing and topographical mapping to art conservation, examining how these systems are used to produce seen and unseen images.
Deschenes (b. 1966, Boston) has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, North Adams, Massachusetts; and Secession, Vienna. Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou, Paris; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Art Institute of Chicago; and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, among others.
