Colette
Copeland is a multi-media visual artist whose work examines issues surrounding
gender and contemporary culture. Sourcing personal narratives and popular
media, she utilizes video, photography, performance and sculptural installation
to question societal roles and the pervasive influence of media, and technology

Pennsylvania and critical theory/contemporary practices at the University of
the Arts in Philadelphia. She received her BFA from Pratt Institute in New York
and her MFA from Syracuse University. She is the recipient of a
LeewayFoundation Award for Art & Change. Her photographic and video
installations have been exhibited extensively both nationally and
internationally. In 2005-2006, her work was shown at the Arad Biennale in
Romania, the Museum of Fine Arts in Venado Tuerto , Argentina, the National
Center for Contemporary Art in Moscow, Novosibirsk State Art Museum in Russia,
City Nord in Hamburg, Germany, Ars Latina in Macerata, Italy, Cultural
Communication Center in Klapeda, Lithuania, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art
and a traveling exhibition throughout India and Bangladesh, including Calcutta,
Bombay and Dhaka.

The video," Mydeath.com" (a.k.a. how to plan a funeral in 90 seconds or less) humorously asserts the Internet as the ultimate commodified marketplace. Recontextualizing images downloaded from various 'death' websites, the work celebrates the bombardment of visual information questioning the point at which we reach saturation and how we decipher what information is accurate
Revisiting childhood dreams of who they wanted to be when they 'grew-up', these adult males play dress up, acting out archetypal heroes constructed from popular movie characters. Filmed in themed kitschy hotel rooms, the characters perform elaborate rituals in solitude, as their gestures transpose from innocent to fetishized.
