Owen Kydd (born 1975) is a Canadian artist who works primarily with film, video and photography. [1]
Kydd holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Simon Fraser University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from UCLA. [2]
In 2006, he started exhibiting documentary-related videos that he called “durational photographs,” [2] [3] [4] although he has since also branched out into various forms of digital art. [5]
His work has been exhibited extensively, including solo shows at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, and group shows at SFMoMA, the Albright-Knox Gallery, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the International Center for Photography, and the Ontario Art Gallery. [6]
In 2015, he was shortlisted for the AIMIA AGO Photography Prize. [7]
The critic Walter Benn Michaels has described Kydd's exploration of the line between video, cinema, and photography in the following way: “It’s thus the photographic and the cinematic that provide the terms in which Kydd understands his work, and inasmuch as the videos are neither photographs nor movies, video functions for him less as a medium in itself than as a technology for addressing the relation between the photograph and the movie, for, more precisely, turning the cinematic into the photographic.” [4] As Aaron Peck wrote in Artforum, “Kydd employs contemporary technologies to expand the boundaries of pictorial depiction while representing quotidian images of North American life in the early twenty-first century, capturing the specific details that signal the time in which we live.” [5] His work has been written about it in numerous other places as well, such as Canadian Art, [2] Foam magazine, [8] Frieze magazine, [9] and Aperture magazine. [3]
His work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, [10] SF MoMA, [11] and the Albright–Knox Art Gallery. [12]

Ellen Carey is an American artist known for conceptual photography exploring non-traditional approaches involving process, exposure, and paper. Her work has ranged from painted and multiple-exposure, Polaroid 20 x 24, Neo-Geo self-portraits beginning in the late 1970s to cameraless, abstract photograms and minimal Polaroid images from the 1990s onward, which critics often compare to color-field painting. Carey's sixty one-person exhibitions have been presented at museums, such as the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, International Center of Photography (ICP) and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, alternative spaces such as Hallwalls and Real Art Ways, and many commercial galleries. Her work is in numerous museum collections, including those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Centre Pompidou, and Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 2019, she was named one of the Royal Photographic Society (London) "Hundred Heroines", recognizing leading women photographers worldwide. Los Angeles Times critic Leah Ollman describes her photography as "inventive, physically involving, process-oriented work" and her recent photograms as "performative sculptures enacted in the gestational space of the darkroom" whose pure hues, shadows and color shifts deliver "optical buzz and conceptual bang." New York Times critic William Zimmer wrote that her work "aspires to be nothing less than a reinvention, or at least a reconsideration, of the roots or the essence of photography." In addition to her art career, Carey has also been a longtime educator at the Hartford Art School and a writer and researcher on the history of photography.
