Aimee Beaubien is an artist living and working in Chicago. Her sculptural, photo based collages explore collapses in time, space, and place, while playfully engaging the complexities of visual perception. Solo exhibitions include shows at TWIN KITTENS, Atlanta, GA; The Cliff Dwellers and Gallery Uno, Chicago; Carl Hammer Gallery, Chicago. Her work has been reviewed in publications such as Art in America, Art on Paper and Art Papers. Beaubien is Assistant Professor of Photography at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
“Collage is destruction and construction, a simultaneous collapsing of time, space and place. My work is created by physically cutting up my photographs and putting them back together in invented forms, playfully engaging the complexities of visual and visceral perception.”
