The figure of the artist remains a central subject of investigation for Vancouver artist Rodney Graham (born 1949), who is known for straddling many vocations simultaneously: painter, photographer, writer, philosopher, actor, psychologist, scientist and musician. This new monograph, published for Graham’s exhibition at the BALTIC Centre in the UK, gathers works made between 1994 and 2017―in particular his photographic lightboxes and his musical production―that focus on the self-portrait. Graham shows himself starring in various fictional roles (artist, musician, actor, lighthouse keeper, paddler, reader). In her essay, Briony Fer observes that “as much as Graham makes pictures that cohere as mise-en-scènes, and that operate self-reflexively to speculate on the very mechanics of the image, so it is impossible to keep all the allusions in check.”

Né à Vancouver en 1949, Rodney Graham est un artiste à la renommée internationale. Connu pour ses travaux dans les champs littéraires et conceptuels, ses installations cinématographiques, ses costumes de scène, il est aussi auteur-compositeur. Dans les années 1980 et 90, avec des projets tels que Parsifal Score, Parsifal (1882-38,969,364,735) et School of Velocity, Graham a commencé à réaliser des œuvres d'art autour de la musique ou des objets matériels, partitions et CD. Depuis, la frontière entre arts visuels et musique n'a cessé de se réduire avec des travaux tels que How I Became a Ramblin Man, Zabriskie Point et The Phonokinetoscope.
