| Through photographs and video installation, Adriane Little’s visual work is presently visualized at an intersection of psychoanalysis and post-colonial theory through the lens of a feminist investigation of trauma and ritual. These ideas first presented themselves through an interrogation of a presence and absence of maternal bodies. The translation of this space is both literal and metaphor or the architecture of an ephemeral maternal space that is embedded within what she calls the matrilineal ghost. Her current work is expanding from this foundation by continuing to examine how the past or matrilineal ghost intersects with the present within technocratic cultures. Her work has been displayed in solo exhibitions, at Big Orbit Gallery in Buffalo New York [catalogue essay by Michelle Boulous Walker], the Carnegie Art Center in N Tonawanda New York [catalogue essay by Ewa Ziarek] and 621 Gallery in Tallahassee Florida. Her work has also been included in several group exhibitions & film festivals, including the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s Beyond/In Western New York 2005 presented at CEPA Gallery as a solo exhibition [catalogue essay by Marianne Hirsch], Death Bizarre at The Center for Photography at Woodstock, Insatiable Streams: 10 years of the Institute for Electronic Arts at the Beijing B.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in Beijing China, Video Art in the Age of the Internet at the Chelsea Art Museum in NYC, Particulate at LumpWest Gallery in Eugene Oregon that also traveled to Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Vertical Hold at Galery One in Ellensburg Washington which traveled to Punch Gallery in Seattle Washington and the 21st Leeds International Film Festival. |
