Davida Kidd: Who Needs Art When You Have a View Like This
Through February 6, 2011

Davida Kidd's practice addresses themes of domination: the psyche by the dream or ideal, the conscience by guilt, the personality by passion. Working in the general realm of manipulated photography, she blurs the line between illusion and reality, cultivating the ambiguous line at which the subjects become invented creatures. Individuals often appear to be trapped or misguided by their own choices. Kidd further incorporates these ideas by addressing the new strains that have been put on the human psyche. Trying to cope with the rapid changes of living in this technological era is resulting in shared common experiences happening vicariously through a variety of screens in which the real and the imaginary move closer together.
Davida Kidd's exhibition at the Burnaby Art Gallery is inspired by a billboard she saw when driving across the Cambie Street Bridge. The banner was located on the site of a newly developing condominium project and exclaimed "Who Needs Art When You Have a View Like This!"  The focus of the exhibition will be images that engage in similar biting double entendres.
