Vancouver photoconceptualist Roy Arden is intrigued by the very act of presenting work to audiences. Starkness is his trademark, with images, some of them appropriated, standing as reminders of such complex modern phenomena as urbanization. His new collages are built from an extensive personal image archive, culled mostly from the Internet. The shots are neatly arranged in a grid and organized to a certain extent by composition, shape and subject. There are strange, punny interjections: in Blue Cataract, round, blue things—mainly scientific objects—are juxtaposed with portraits of blues musicians. Artwork $3,000–$9,000. —David Balzer
