X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h4>Exhibition runs May 10 - June 28\, 2014</
 h4><p>Jeremy Everett\, Simone Jones\, Richard T. Walker and Will Wilson</p>
 <p><strong>Reception Friday\, May 9\, 8pm</strong></p><p>Curated by Michael
 a Rife</p><p>The Or Gallery is pleased to present <em>Dust on the Lens</em>
 \, a group exhibition featuring works by Jeremy Everett\, Simone Jones\, Ri
 chard T. Walker and Will Wilson.</p><p>This exhibition joins four recent ar
 tistic responses to the desert of the American West\, arguably one of the m
 ost conflicted and contradictory North American geographies. The desert is 
 at once exploited and protected\, poisoned and adored. With one eye to prec
 eding generations of artists in the desert (from canonical sculptors to the
  anthropological projects of photographers)\, and another to contemporary r
 ealities of land use\, each artist employs a lens-based medium to consider 
 the site. Theirs is not the fantastical desert of mystics or the wilderness
  of pilgrimage\, rather it is a land very much impacted by its human and te
 chnological histories.</p><p>In some cases these realities are confronted b
 y introducing everyday technologies to sublime\, protected sites. In others
 \, the artist’s body is introduced to the image\, complicating the expected
  relationship between the ostensibly untouched wilderness and the human. Th
 e nexus between the American desert and the artist’s lens opens onto crucia
 l questions that demand the viewer rethink their place in traditionally acc
 epted categories of nature and landscape.</p><p>Dust on the Lens is guest c
 urated by <strong>Michaela Rife</strong>\, a candidate to the Master’s Degr
 ee in Critical and Curatorial Studies at The University of British Columbia
 .</p><p>This exhibition is made possible with support from the Killy Founda
 tion and the Audain Endowment for Curatorial Studies through the Department
  of Art History\, Visual Art and Theory in collaboration with the Morris an
 d Helen Belkin Art Gallery at The University of British Columbia.</p><h4>Or
