Bryan Whitney "Myriad - The Ten Thousand Things"

AC Institute

poster for Bryan Whitney "Myriad - The Ten Thousand Things"

This event has ended.

Whitney’s images are drawn from digital snapshots taken with various cameras including an iPhone and an Elph camera. Like most people’s snapshot collection, his multitude of disparate images range from the beautiful to the mundane, the momentary to the historic—each transformed into memory and pixels. Collected into a single digital print along an entire wall, they begin to exist simultaneously as cohesive entity.

Opposite and juxtaposed to the myriad composition is a larger-than-life sized figure, based on the form of a reclining Buddha. Effigies to Buddha are often found in relatively small spaces, exaggerating further the effect of their scale and significance on the viewer. Similarly emphasized in the narrow confines of the AC [Chapel], the monumentality of Whitney’s figure conveys a singularity and importance relative to the myriad things.
