TANGIBLE DREAMS OF A DYING EXPLORER
February 8–April 2, 2010
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 13, 4–6 p.m.

A Collaborative Exhibition of Paintings and Photographs by Bradford Johnson and C.E. Courtney
Photographer Nils Strindberg dies in the Arctic in 1897.  Along with his remains, several rolls of exposed film are found. Over a hundred years later, Brad Johnson begins creating a series of paintings inspired by Strindberg's recovered photos. Photographer C. E. Courtney, captivated by the narrative of a dead photographer who had never seen his own images, begins documenting Johnson's work. From painting to photography, from film to digital, the resulting amalgam conjures the hypothermic dreams of a dying explorer.
