Artist owned and run by local married artist duo Cecelia and Jose Fernandes Contemporary Art Gallery focused on the original documentary photography of Jose Fernandes and compositions by C+J (Cecelia + Jose ) and Celilrie (Cecelia). Through the use of photographic diptychs and other compositions, C+J expands on the descriptive nature of documentary photography, creating lyrical narratives as constructed mirror images of societal issues. The work challenges belief systems, notions of systemic control, ideas of societal stratification and questions Western episteme in an artistic response to the political and societal disequilibrium that is at the the core of the contemporary struggle between individual, community and institution.
