Biography - Brandon Bandy (b. St. Louis, MO) is an artist and publisher in Long Beach, California. Brandon’s practice confronts ideas of the virtual, visual conventions, and artistic production amidst the domination of online platforms and erosion of institutions. Often centering site, perspective of the lens, and memetics, Brandon’s works are unfixed, often synthesized from contemporary folklore or metadata and shifting form as they undergo stages of mediation. Brandon co-operates Special Effects, a publishing studio producing art books and editions and organizes exhibitions at LA-based gallery, Timeshare, with Rachel Jackson. Brandon received a MFA from University Of California, Riverside and is currently a lecturer at California State Univeristy, Bakersfield and Fullerton.

Notes:

In Exhibiton View various works are installed in a gallery or institution and a single initial installation photograph is made, the composition of which is dictated by the primary or initial point from which a viewer might first encounter the space. After the installation photograph is captured, the previously installed works are removed from the space. A full scale 1:1 reproduction of the installation photograph is produced and installed in the gallery in the exact position that corresponds with its field of view.

This initial installation photograph is also used as promotional material for the exhibiton.
