We are pleased to announce the feature exhibit status granted to the solo exhibition of Katharina Mayer: Theatrum Familiae at the 2012 CONTACT Photography Festival.<\/p>\n

Mayer\u2019s Theatrum Familiae<\/strong> represents the fourth consecutive solo artist exhibit of the gallery in as many years honored with this status: M+M: Good Timing Bad Timing 2009, James Robert Durant: Tropical Punch 2010 and Llu\u00eds Barba: Travelers in Time 2011.<\/p>\n

The German photographer Katharina Mayer (born 1958)\u00a0was a Master student of Hilla & Bernd Becher and Nan Hoover at the world renowned Duesseldorf Kunstakademie associated with such prolific artists as Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Candida H\u00f6fer and Andreas Gursky.<\/p>\n

In her project familia, a lifelong project the artist commenced in 2001, Katharina Mayer focuses on the life\u2019s most crucial element: the family as a global and universal way of life and what importance it has in communicating ethical and moral values. The photographer visits families in various cities to capture them often in their most familiar context: at home. Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, the image of the family is more complex and varied; Katharina Mayer\u2019s impressive family and group portraits demonstrate this vividly and she sees her purpose to discover this boundary and to experiment with it.\u00a0 To complement existing works within the familia body of work to be displayed, Katharina Mayer is looking to forge connections in Toronto.<\/p>\n

We encourage your support in this unique interactive project.\u00a0 Lausberg Contemporary would like to extend the invitation to become part of Theatrum Familiae.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
