When All Is Said and When All Is Done
Peter D. Springberg, MD Vault Gallery
In his When All Is Said and When All Is Done installation, Justin A. Carney is working in, with, and around the medium of photography. Carney’s recent practice mines family albums to both reminisce and to discover.

Justin A. Carney is an artist and educator who uses autobiographical photography to question how death and grief affect familial connections – the bonds that keep a family together and cause them to separate, and how grief shapes an individual. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Carney currently teaches at Colorado State University. He received an MFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Photography from Indiana University Bloomington, and a BFA in Photography from Pennsylvania College of Art & Design. He is the recipient of the Beckmann Emerging Artist Fellowship (2024) from the Indy Arts Council, Indianapolis, IN; First Place Single Image Award from LensCulture Art Photography Awards 2023; and the 2022 Emerging Artist Grant from the Bloomington Arts Commission, Bloomington, IN. Carney’s work has been exhibited in venues both nationally and internationally including Aurora PhotoCenter, Indianapolis, IN; Candela Gallery, Richmond, VA; Colorado Photographic Arts Center, Denver, CO; Manifest Gallery, Cincinnati, OH; Photo London, London, UK; Open Doors Gallery, London, UK; Incadaqués Festival, Catalonia, Spain; and Exposure Photo Festival, Alberta, Canada.
Dinghy Rig is a collaborative artist-run art production and exhibition program launched by Aitor Lajarin-Encina and Marius Lehene. Justin Carney’s When All Is Said and When All Is Done show is the third installment of a long-term collaboration with the Museum of Art, Fort Collins, which will be hosting the Dinghy Rig shows in what used to be the building’s safety vault room. The project benefits from the generous support of Peter D. Springberg, MD.
