UNDEREXPOSED: Ryerson MFA program in Documentary Media Exhibition
Members of the Ryerson MFA program in Documentary Media, in conjunction with Beaver Hall Gallery, are proud to present Underexposed, a showcase of photography, new media and performance installation by Ryerson's latest crop of documentary interrogationists. At once reflective and eye-opening, the first group show from this diversely talented collection of artists stretches the boundaries of the documentary forms in which it is rooted. From Ben Lenzner's participatory photographic work with the nomadic Van Guijjar community of northern India, to Paula John's interactive installation examining sexual voyeurism, to Julie Pasila's metaphysical study of constructed memories and histories of The Oxford Hotel, Underexposed provides a candid glimpse into the new creative shapers of a dynamic tradition.
