Dina Goldstein
Dina Goldstein is an Israeli contemporary visual artist, born in 1969, in Tel Aviv, Israel and based in Vancouver, Canada. She is known for her conceptual and complex photographic work in a pop surrealist style. Her first major projects, In the Dollhouse and Fallen Princesses, were very successful. The Dollhouse is an exploration of beauty, power and sexuality through images, featuring a famous couple of overly perfect dolls, Ken and Barbie. Fallen Princesses takes an ironic look at the Disney princesses, imagining them in real-life scenarios, but with a less happy ending. Her third project, Gods of Suburbia presents a visual analysis of the place of religion and faith in today's world. In Last Supper, East Vancouver, Dina uses Leonardo da Vinci's famous mural to recreate L’Ultima Cena, the meal between Jesus and his apostles, in a street gang in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. She was awarded the Arte Laguna special prize, in 2012 and in 2014, she won the grand prize at Prix Virginia.

- World Beyond the WaterBy Holly KingLocated in Montreal, QuebecText by Amber Berson Canadian photographer Holly King’s Mangrove series is an investigation into the artist’s own subconscious. The photographs border on the uncanny, although never uncomfortably so. Instead, her preternatural compositions engage the viewer’s curiosity – the viewer is not sure how to approach, and yet is drawn to do so. At times the images are reflective, occasionally disquieting and always thought provoking. The twisted roots of the mangrove forests that form the base of this series provide an entry point for an investigation into the shadowy parts of the artist’s imagination. The differences between what we know to be real and what we perceive as real are often slight. The work of Holly King stems from an attempt to prevail over the uncharted territory of both her imagination and that which is perceived as true. In her creations, King endeavours to understand her subconscious mindscape as manifested through photographs recalling actual landscapes. This new series, stemming from earlier pieces also focused on roots, reflects King’s interest in drawing, in the linear subject and in geometric abstraction. It is a move away from previous series – despite the photographic medium in which King works, her oeuvre has contained a certain painterly quality. These new photographs tend to melt into themselves, drawing the viewer in and letting the imagination drift. The Mangrove series causes the viewer to approach with at a slower pace, to investigate deeply into the darker nooks and crannies and to attempt to find reason within a work that so clearly plays with our understanding of real and imaginary. Nothing is incidental in King’s photographs...Category
