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.

- Love PopsBy Dina GoldsteinLocated in Montreal, QuebecMy latest project, Modern Girl, extrapolates upon past themes of commercialism and identity within Western culture by creating reimagined ad campaigns based upon the famous “pin-up girl” advertising posters of 1930s Shanghai, China. This era heralded the emergence of Asian women as individuals, as they began to break away from Confucius tradition that demanded total filial piety alongside crippling beauty practices like foot binding. However, while an expression of gender emancipation, the posters sowed the seeds of a new form of exploitation: the use of the female form to sell consumer products. I grew up in Vancouver — regarded as the gateway to the East. It has experienced unprecedented immigration from Hong Kong and China in the past 35 years, turning this once provincial community into a vibrant Asian metropolis. The impact of Asian culture has been profound, not only on the city but on me as an individual and artist. I have come to love Asian film and literature such as Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior and Gish Jen’s Mona in the Promised Land. Such works explore the immigrant experience, something that resonates with my own experiences emigrating from Israel in childhood. Learning to fit in was stressful, however, I realized that the challenges facing my young Asian friends in Vancouver were even greater. They were torn between familial demands of obedience and academic achievement — in opposition to the Western ideals of self-expression and individualism. The ‘Modern Girl’ image first appeared in the West and was notable for its bold sexuality, with scantily clad women selling everything from clothing, soap and cigarettes to army recruitment.
