Artist statement
Photoworks by MASLEN & MEHRA are included in collections such as Tattinger Switzerland, Art Es Collecion Madrid, numerous international private collections and more recently the Altered Landscape Collection, Nevada Museum of Art which includes artists such as Bernd and Hilla Becher, Lewis Baltz, Edward Burtynsky, Amy Stein, David Maisel, and Fandra Chang. The collection is accompanied by a deluxe publication by Rizzoli with contributions by Lucy Lippard. Solo exhibitions have been staged in New York, London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Dubai, Istanbul, Sydney, and Berlin. A monograph titled MIRRORED is dedicated to two major series of photographs, The Mirrored and Native series and was published by Verlag für moderne Kunst Nürnberg with support from the Arts Council Of England and texts by art historian Edward Lucie-Smith and Eugen Blume, curator at the Hamburger Bahnoff Museum Berlin. In 2011 there was a solo presentation of work from these two series for the Scotiabank CONTACT International Photo Festival, Toronto and in addition a commissioned public installation of lightboxes was commissioned for Halifax Ferry Terminal. A solo exhibition for Art Month Sydney took place at Conny Dietzschold Gallery in March 2012 with solo exhibitions of a new body of work to take place this year in London and Istanbul.
