CLAY KETTER: Registration

“The title of the exhibition refers to the process of registering information through the means of photography, in the context of Clay Ketter’s (b. 1961) work this suggests the notion of ‘scanning’ surfaces.
Indeed the artist’s practice invites the viewer to enter a world where ‘reality appears to imitate art’1. The relationship between the depiction of the real and artifice is rarely closer than the in the Gulf Coast Slabs (2007) and Valencia (2003, 2005) series, both portraying reality and the structures of human habitation.
This exhibition will include more recent works from the Madre Veduta (2011) and Tract (2010, 2012) series, that question our perception of environments, in this instance through the use of digital image manipulation.”
