West Gallery:  Cameron Gainer is a New York-based artist whose work explores the presence and power of photography in contemporary culture, particularly how a photograph can catalyze belief and disbelief. 

The exhibition brings together three large-scale sculptural works including a new commission on view at CAM, and installations at the USF Botanical Gardens and USF Riverfront Park. The two outdoor 

works are based on 20th century alleged hoaxes that Gainer sites and models from photographic sources; often the only form of evidence that sightings actually occurred. The exhibition is curated by 

David Norr, Curator of Exhibitions and Special Projects and is accompanied by a forthcoming publication with essays by critic Gregg Perkins and the curator.
