WE (Blatic Version) 2007 c-print 58 x 76 inches
After a year-long Fulbright Fellowship to the prestigious Finnish
Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Carrie Schneider returns to Chicago
with a body of new work for her first solo exhibition with
moniquemeloche gallery. Schneider sets up impossible scenarios that
pit a character (usually herself) against some force of nature.
Through a complex web of personal mythologies, Schneider throws
herself into fantasies of escape and concealment, creating uneasy
resonances with simple juxtapositions. The result is a series of
large-scale photographs and two 16mm films that continue to heighten
the familiar to a level of precarious strangeness.
