Evan Lee: Captures: Selected Works, 1998–2006 documents the first major solo museum exhibition of Vancouver-based artist Evan Lee. Lee is widely recognized for his “post-photography” approach, where he utilizes flatbed scanners to create hyper-detailed images of mundane objects—such as ginseng roots, dollar store items, and industrial detritus—transforming them into sites of abstraction and wonder. This 68-page catalogue features a foreword by the legendary Jeff Wall and essays by Christopher Brayshaw, Peter Culley, and William Wood, providing critical context for Lee’s investigation into the value, economy, and “the phenomenal” hidden within the ordinary.
