Members of Toronto’s Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography are pleased to announce their presentation of two group shows at Gallery 1313 in conjunction with CONTACT 2012 Photography Festival.
Structured around the theme of Acts of Exposure, each photographer has evoked his or her own individual perception of the theme. Among others, these include the use of portraiture as a means to examine the multi-faceted relationship between the subject and the photographer; documentation of public spaces and their human-inflicted deterioration; and exploration of the effects of corporate branding on the social landscapes of non-western cultures. The photographers present a diverse range of expression of ideas with imagination, passion, talent and knowledge of the medium.
Acts of Exposure captures light, strips away facades, reveals truths, discloses untruths, airs emotions, bares souls, exposes confusion, uncovers patters, risks ridicule, leaves vulnerable, but braves risks. The acts may be born of an instant, but the images will last a lifetime.
Artist talks will be held on Saturdays at 2 pm during the show. Selected works from the show may be viewed at www.actsofexposure.com.
