Christopher Selleck / Made Here

September 28, 2015

Second-year, MFA photography student, Christopher Selleck’s piece Interventions/Intersections in the Landscape was selected to be a part of Intersections: Made Here for the summer of 2015.

Interventions/Intersections in the Landscape, located at 930 Hennepin Avenue, started out as a way for Selleck to re-imagine the surroundings he occupies on a daily basis. By adding layers in the form of photographs manually placed inside the frame or reflections combining indoor and outdoor settings, a newly created landscape became apparent. The Interventions were color photographic prints repositioned back into the landscape that they came from. Both sets of images were created in a period of two weeks, heightening and exaggerating the ever-changing nature of the world around us. The Intersections used reflections to show the fine line between inside and out. By combining the private interior domestic with the visible public sphere, we begin to see how those two worlds coexist. The display is up through Wednesday, September 30th.

Made Here, a project of Hennepin Theatre Trust , is a walkable urban art experience that showcases local art and artists in the downtown Minneapolis Cultural District. Made Here launched in 2013 with visual displays in vacant storefronts and commercial spaces. Today, it infuses a variety of public spaces with art and art-inspired experiences from pop-up parks to live performances to rotating exhibits to fence wraps around construction sites. Special thanks to Andersen Windows for being the presenting sponsor of Made Here
