Born in Washington, D.C., American artist Nan Goldin moved to New York in 1978, after studies at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She presently lives in Paris. Goldin became interested in photography at the age of 16, initially producing images, in black and white, of transvestites. She is now considered one of the most influential photographers on today’s art scene. From her position at the centre of a world of hard-edged images, Goldin produces self-portraits and shows us her circle of friends in real-life settings: their apartments, hotel rooms, nightclubs, and so on. She also experiments with landscapes. The starting point of her work is invariably beauty, desire and love, which she explores in rather seedy settings. She reveals the vulnerability of being in revealing herself and a world which most people refuse to see or try to ignore, a world of drugs, prostitution, violence, AIDS and death. This first solo exhibition in Canada, produced in collaboration with the Collection Lambert in Avignon, consists of a hundred photographs taken since 1972 and two installations made up of slide shows accompanied by soundtracks, both presented in the form of a photographic journal.
