Fahrenheit 450 (Homage to Bradbury and Orwell)
“Fahrenheit 450 (Homage to Bradbury and Orwell)” consists of books and
shoes arranged in an infinity symbol on the floor of the gallery. The work celebrates a society of information exchange and the never-ending quest for knowledge while personifying some of the vehicles of this dialogue.
The Lecture
“The Lecture” recreates an intimate academic setting where eight rows of chairs are playfully adorned with shoes and face a lectern. The work serves as a medium for cultural commentary, and encourages the interaction between audience and artwork.
Photographs & Lightboxes
Informed by the notion of driving as a manifestation of consciousness
in North American culture, the photographs in this exhibition were taken
as BAXTER& travelled throughout Canada and the United States. His
photographic oeuvre functions as a fragmented narrative and establishes
his consuming passion for real-life experiences.
