Nina Hubbs Zurier works primarily in photography and video.  Much of her work deals with aspects of subversion - in terms of process and representation - as well as a kind of radical editing, or focus, that eliminates all but the most essential aspects of her subjects.  Her work has been featured in a solo show at Gallery Saintonge in Missoula, MT and in group exhibitions including Bay Area Bazaar at Pulliam Deffenbaugh Gallery in Portland, Photoo: Subvention and Subversion in Photography, Oakland Art Gallery, Oakland, and From This Day Forward... Painting is Dead, MONA, Detroit.  She received her BFA from San Francisco Art Institute.

"Zurier takes deliberately "incorrect" photographs -- wildly maladjusted in framing, exposure and color balance. She mounts them on unframed aluminum panels. The resulting objects look like neither photographs nor paintings, but planes of powdery color whose faintly modulated surfaces give the eye just enough traction to detain the mind."
