Christopher Selleck
Christopher Selleck was born in Augusta, GA. He has spent the last 20 years working in and around the art scene of the Minneapolis area. He received his B.FA. in Photography from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in 2013 and his M.F.A. in Visual Studies and Photography from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design in 2016. Using sports and masculinity as a lens to view identity, his various projects of the last few years have focused on this area of identity construction. His recent projects have addressed issues of hyper-masculinity, sexuality and the male body.
His work has always had an affinity for traditional forms of photography but with a more conceptual approach. Working with film, instant and digital processes his practice has tended to focus on portrait and self-portrait-based projects. Photographic prints and books have been central in his practice, but his work has also incorporated video, sound, installation, printmaking and sculpture. He has been exhibited and published both nationally and regionally.
