CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL APRIL 2016 APRIL 15 — MAY 28 ALLEY 1_(112 E. PENDER ST.) Gerri York CURATED BY Michael Love Patryk Stasieczek OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 7–9 PM Lightbox Project Space at Gallery 295 295 East 2nd Ave (Back Alley Entrance) Vancouver BC Gerri York’s Alley 1_(112 E. Pender St.) explores the transformation of material matter through print media. Interested in surface characteristics of pictorial space in photography, York views the process of drawing with ink as concentration toward the materiality of an image, a foundation that bleeds from her background as a printmaker into her photographic practice. In the case of her Alley series, York explores the flowing pool of ink on transparent film, working intuitively and loosely on these forms to examine the ambiguities of chance and circumstance. For York, the spilling of ink on polyester film speaks to the material relationship of light and photography, and the transference of light through the translucent material via the presence of backlighting. York’s work takes up a multifaceted position within the Lightbox Project Space of Gallery 295, where the qualities of her exploration are deepened through installation as a large-scale backlit photographic image. The pooling of ink overlaid onto a banal street photograph transforms the image into a mise en scène. It is this essence in photography that interests York: the reflective and transparent nature of light and its collaboration with the material context of the photograph as it sets the stage for a juxtaposition of form. The resulting work recalls the past tense of photography, of an event that evokes an ineffable sense of absence. APRIL 15 — 28 SPRING FORTH Mayan Vered PRESENTED BY Publik Secrets OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 7 PM Hadden Park Field House 1015 Maple St Vancouver BC With spring in the air and buds opening all over the city, Spring forth invites the viewer to take a closer look at the flowers that appear in the lush, urban landscape of Vancouver. Each flower, found around the city, is celebrated in its own imaginative scene. Crisp lines of petals contrasted by draping fabric pay respect to the rich history of still life photography, while bright colours and vases evoke product photography and the glossy pages of magazines. Set in lush Hadden Park, Spring forth allows the viewer to re-enter the park with a new perspective and appreciation for the natural wonders of the botanical world. APRIL 15 — MAY 28 YOU INHERITED THAT FROM YOUR FATHER! WE DANCE OUR NAME Mike Bourscheid CURATED BY Michael Love Patryk Stasieczek OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 7–9 PM Gallery 295 295 East 2nd Ave (Back Alley Entrance) Vancouver BC Where lies the relationship between photography, performance, and object? In Mike Bourscheid’s solo exhibition, Gallery 295 becomes the site for a largescale sculpture surrounded with three photographs of the artist dressed as a ballet dancer. The sculpture, a large slanted glass object, is intersected by plush phallic objects, and Bourscheid’s selfportraits with these objects act as stand-ins for a performance and performer. Within the gallery setting, the artist sets the stage for a correspondence between cultural history, masculinity, fables, and the performed body. The conversation between these works allows for a candid arrangement of circumstances, all of which are emphasized by Bourscheid’s choreographed poses for the camera. The various flesh tones of the phallic, stuffed objects are mirrored in the photographic mount, where the analogue prints are bordered by brown and pink lace. This arrangement re-emphasizes the blurred distinction between photography’s ability to stand in place of the performance and the reliance of an observer. The photographic space bleeds into the sculptural installation and allows for a permeation of a performed body.

105 EXHIBITIONS APRIL 21 — 23 PAPER PORTRAIT PROJECT Ross den Otter OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 6–9 PM Pink Monkey Studios 830 Union St Vancouver BC This exhibition comprises works created using the historical tools of two types of portrait artists: the camera obscura of the Renaissance painter and the Talbotype of the mid-ninteenth-century photographer. The Paper Portrait Project consists of images of visitors to the studio, made earlier in the month during an open studio event (see Event Listings, April 2). The relatively low-cost silver-based portrait that emerged in the mid nineteenth century at the height of the Industrial Revolution had the effect of democratizing the portrait image as well as the idea of self and identity. With this invention, the greater populace had the capacity to commission an image of themselves, whereas historically this was reserved only for those social classes who had the means to contract a portrait painter. The camera and its resulting photographic print gave the subject of the image the opportunity to see their likeness as the world saw it, rather than how the subject viewed oneself, reflected in a mirror. APRIL 18 — MAY 6 INDUSTRIOGLYPHS Stuart McCall Art Rental & Sales Vancouver Art Gallery (Main Floor) 750 Hornby St Vancouver BC Stuart McCall’s practice is characterized by an observational perspective that focuses on industrial areas and construction worksites. McCall began documenting this subject matter with an eye to architectural design and heroic structural elements. Recently, his attention has turned to details within these landscapes. During visits to construction sites, he was drawn to a recurring and curious language of temporary markings inscribed on cement buttresses, walls, posts, and even made directly onto the ground. Reminiscent of cuneiform or prehistoric scripts painted onto cave walls, these inscriptions relay a message to some future observer. In a complex, deadline-driven environment like the modern-day construction site, a simple method of mark making is often the only way to pass on information. These are created using various materials and conventions: spray paint, chalk, pencil, and paint are used to trace symbols, numbers, and abbreviations. The temporary nature of these symbols is compelling: they document the transition between permanence and impermanence, and indicate an action that needs to be taken. They are then covered, sawn through, dug up, or otherwise removed from sight. Capturing these iterations through photography, McCall’s work distinguishes the impermanence of the markings from the fixedness of the resulting structures, and of the photographic prints themselves. opposite page — top STUART MCCALL INDUSTRIOGLYPHS 2926, 2010 PIGMENT PRINT 44” x 66” opposite page — bottom ROSS DEN OTTER AYUMU, 2015 APRIL 16 — SEPTEMBER 18 VIEW FINDERS Group Exhibition CURATED BY Juliana Bedoya WITH Laura Aliaga Elfred Matining OPENING RECEPTION SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2–4 PM ArtStarts Gallery 808 Richards St Vancouver BC View Finders showcases a selection of projects in which young people from schools across British Columbia had opportunities to experiment with different digital and analogue photographic mediums, exploring their potential as tools for communication, documentation, and creative expression. Professional artists and teachers provided space for students to create visual narratives and to find their own artistic voice through digital storytelling and various imagemaking techniques. These experiences also created a context for young people to re-examine ideas of contemporary photography as a medium to express critical perspectives.
CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL APRIL 2016 APRIL 22 — MAY 4 MEDIATED VISIONS IN TIME AND SPACE Pedro Ferreira David Goldberg Jo Holland Ryan Mathieson Cristina Sabaiduc Jeese Treece Lauren D. Zbarsky CURATED BY Shauna Jean Doherty Lauren D. Zbarsky OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 8 PM–LATE Untitled Art Space 436 Columbia St Vancouver BC Early on in its history, photography was hailed as a technology capable of translating truth. Subsequent critical reflection by authors such as Susan Sontag, Stuart Hall, and Roland Barthes recognizes that camerabased imagery offers an altered reality, which is itself subjective and unreliable, influenced by both the photographer’s and the viewer’s interpretations. While photography makes claims toward empirical documentation, the mediating impact of the lens produces an imperfect record. Mediated Visions in Time and Space occurs within the unstable space of the photographic reality, exploring the transcendental, interpretive, mutable, and otherworldly dimensions embedded within the filmic image. This group exhibition navigates the perceptual boundaries of lens-based practice, both technically and conceptually, through diverse modes including slide photography, Super 8 film, textile, and collage. opposite page — top KATIE HUISMAN CLINT, 2013 20” x 30” opposite page — bottom RYAN MATHIESON UNTITLED, 2015 ARCHIVAL INKJET PRINT 20” x 26” APRIL 22 — 28 MESS AGE Lincoln Clarkes Katie Huisman Alex Waber Mel Yap OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 7–11 PM Remington Gallery 108 East Hastings St Vancouver BC Lincoln Clarkes’s pop conceptual text pieces from 1995 maintain poignant relevance today. Though they appear to be aggressive propaganda at first glance, the messages are anti-political and playful in their duality of meaning. Clarkes’s text works emphasize an individualistic ideology, drawing a comparison between the clichéd “Keep Calm and Carry On” motto of the twenty-first century and the reality of the “MESS AGE” we really live in and think about. For the exhibition MESS AGE, photographers Katie Huisman, Mel Yap, and Alex Waber appropriated and visually responded to Clarkes’s mid-’90s text pieces. The photographic works invite the viewer to step into a less literal reality, leaving behind ingrained political thinking while suggesting that we reconnect to our own ideological mindset.

CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL APRIL 2016 POST-FESTIVAL EXHIBITION MAY 6 — JULY 17 FIELD GUIDE Jochen Lempert Contemporary Art Gallery 555 Nelson St Vancouver BC The Contemporary Art Gallery presents the first major museum exhibition in Canada devoted to the celebrated German photographer Jochen Lempert. Trained as a biologist, Lempert photographs plants, animals, and other natural phenomena with both scientific acumen and a poetic appreciation of natural beauty. His approach is scientific as well as humorous. Always taken in black and white, his work engages with a diverse range of subjects and genres, ranging from everyday views to abstracted details. Photographic series alternate with single pictures, through which multiple links and subtle associations are woven. Ranging from medium-sized to tiny prints, the exhibition comprises Lempert’s now classic repertoire of flora and fauna and focuses on a range of work produced over the last five years that examines the indexical nature of photography, notions of time and connections to the history of image making, mutability, classification, and materiality. The subject of Lempert’s work—animal life—is complemented by his exploration of the properties and materiality of the photographic image, as revealed in its developing and printing processes. While seemingly serendipitous, Lempert nevertheless pursues a very clear goal and aesthetic. His is a very careful, subtle world. In Vancouver, Field Guide is generously supported by the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen e.V. Organized by the Contemporary Art Gallery Vancouver in collaboration with the Cincinnati Art Museum.

111 April 19 PHOTOGRAPHY IN MOTION: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TALK BETWEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER AND A PHYSICIST Adad Hannah, Dr. Sarah Burke “We all know what light is, but it is not easy to tell what it is.” —Samuel Johnson Photography is understood to be instantaneous, capturing a split-second in time by trapping light onto a piece of film. But is this really the case? Artist Adad Hannah is well known for pushing the boundaries of what photography “is,” masking moving video as still photographs, portraying motion through stillness, and playing with how we comprehend optics. Dr. Sarah Burke is a professor of physics who understands photography from its most basic unit, the photon, and how this is translated into what it is humans see—or what we think we see. Hannah and Burke discuss the medium of photography from their differing viewpoints of artist and scientist and attempt to pin down what, exactly, makes a photograph “a photograph.” EVENTS April 26 LIKING VS. CRITIQUING Sylvia Grace Borda, Clint Burnham, Maurice Li, Alana Paterson It has been said that art criticism is dead. Is the expanded arena of platforms—from the early days of Flickr to the current dominance of Instagram— altering the boundaries of art criticism? Have accessibility and immediacy led to uniformity in the images being created today? How is discourse shaped by platform design and mandates? These and other questions are taken up by art critic and professor Clint Burnham; artist Sylvia Grace Borda, who often utilizes Google Street View; popular landscape Instagrammer Maurice Li; and photographer Alana Paterson. CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION 7 pm, immediately after the talk Salt Tasting Room 45 Blood Alley Square Vancouver BC All are welcome April 12 FORM AND FUNCTION: THE SINISTER AND PHOTOGRAPHY Jason Gowans, Gabrielle Moser “It is perhaps worth stating the obvious: the camera is central to our understanding of photography.” —John Szarkowski, photographer, curator, historian, and critic Photography was once thought to be a medium of “truth,” but from Yves Klein’s staged photo Leap into the Void (1960) to today’s Photoshopped magazine covers and Instagram posts, this claim has been disproven again and again. Our mistrust of photography seems to be greater than ever, with calls for protection from drone imaging, omnipresent CCTV, and even unwanted Facebook posts. Art critic Gabrielle Moser and artist Jason Gowans discuss how contemporary artists are investigating and incorporating the properties of digital photography and videography, its use as a tool of surveillance, and its overwhelming ubiquity in today’s world.
CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL APRIL 2016 MONDAY, APRIL 4, 9 PM DOROTHEA LANGE: GRAB A HUNK OF LIGHTNING PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Dyanna Taylor Her celebrated photograph The Migrant Mother is one of the most recognized and arresting images in the world, a haunting portrait that came to represent the suffering of America’s Great Depression. Yet few know the story, struggles, and profound body of work of the woman who created the portrait: Dorothea Lange. Directed and narrated by Lange’s granddaughter Dyanna Taylor, Grab a Hunk of Lightning explores the life, passions, and uncompromising vision of the woman behind the camera, whose enduring images document five turbulent decades of American history. THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 9 PM FINDING VIVIAN MAIER PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY John Maloof and Charlie Siskel A mysterious nanny who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that were hidden in storage lockers and discovered decades later is now considered among the twentiethcentury’s greatest photographers. Maier’s strange and riveting life and art are revealed through photographs, films, and interviews with dozens who thought they knew her. PHOTO COPYRIGHT VIVIAN MAIER MALOOF COLLECTION MONDAY, APRIL 11, AT 9 PM CHASING WILD HORSES PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Natasha Ryan and Matt Trecartin Chasing Wild Horses tells the story of famous New York fashion photographer Roberto Dutesco, whose search for true beauty takes him to Sable Island. On this remote island, located east of Nova Scotia in the stormiest part of the North Atlantic, he documents the natural beauty of the untouched and unclaimed wild horses.

HOY: PORTRAITS FROM THE FRONTIER PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Lynn Booth Photographer Chow Dong Hoy moved from China to rural British Columbia at the turn of the last century. During an era when most photographers depicted Canada’s Aboriginal peoples as “noble savages,” Hoy was advancing the art of ethnographic photography by creating haunting portraits of Aboriginal people and documenting their interactions with encroaching settlers. TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 10 PM MUGSHOT PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Dennis Mohr Originally a law enforcement tool, the mugshot has deviated from its fundamental purpose as a source of criminal identification. It has been sensationalized through celebritydom, exploited by the leniency of freedom of information, and has captivated the attention of the art world. Mugshot explores the personal stories of those whose lives have been transformed by these iconic photographs. THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 9 PM TIME ZERO: THE LAST YEAR OF POLAROID FILM PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Grant Hamilton In February 2008, Polaroid announced that it was ceasing production of instant film. Time Zero tells the story of the last year of Polaroid film and the “magic” of Polaroid through the perspective of Polaroid artists and former employees of the corporation. The discontinuation of instant film created a grassroots movement to keep it alive, with an against-the-odds effort to reinvent instant film. MONDAY, APRIL 18, 9 PM ANSEL ADAMS: A DOCUMENTARY FILM PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Ric Burns Ansel Adams’s work was part of an extraordinary revolution in photography that sought to capture what he called “the continuous beauty of things that are”: the landscape of North America. More than any other artist of the twentieth century, Adams helped transform the meaning of wilderness in America; his greatest images of the American West changed forever what Americans thought about their own land.
CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL APRIL 2016 THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 9 PM BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Richard Press “We all get dressed for Bill,” says Vogue editor Anna Wintour. The Bill in question is octogenarian New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high-society charity soirées for the Times style section. Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny, and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace. TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 10 PM NOTHING ON EARTH (BC PREMIERE) PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Michael Angus Murray Fredericks is an award-winning artist renowned for his photographs of the vast, empty space of Lake Eyre, South Australia. For Nothing on Earth, he relocates his work to the Greenland icecap—atop a melting glacier and under the solar storms of the Aurora Borealis. With the use of cutting-edge time-lapse cinematography, the film provides a visual representation of the movement of ice through geological time, alongside Murray’s own personal journey. MONDAY, APRIL 25, 9 PM ANNIE LEIBOVITZ: LIFE THROUGH A LENS PRESENTED BY The Knowledge Network DIRECTED BY Barbara Leibovitz Through her work for Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and Vogue, Annie Leibovitz has produced some of the most iconic images of the last thirty years. Masterful at exposing her photographic subjects, Leibovitz’s own life has been private and protected. In this film, she made the decision to bare her artistic process, her personal journey, and her delicate balancing of fame and family to the camera—a camera that was pointed by a filmmaker who is her younger sister.
115 EVENTS FILM SCREENINGS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 7:30 PM EADWEARD MUYBRIDGE, ZOOPRAXOGRAPHER DIRECTED BY Thom Andersen PRESENTED BY DIM Cinema The Cinematheque 200–1131 Howe St Vancouver BC TICKETS: $11/9 CINEMATHEQUE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP: $3 Thom Andersen’s extraordinary meditation on the nature of vision is a project that began as a UCLA film thesis, for which the aspiring filmmaker rephotographed thousands of Eadweard Muybridge’s images. As described by Ross Lipman of the UCLA Film & Television Archive, Zoopraxographer is “at once a biography of Muybridge, a re-animation of his historic sequential photographs, and an inspired examination of their philosophical implications. . . . The ‘zoopraxography’ of the title speaks to both Muybridge’s practice of motion study—as distinct from photography—and his 1879 device, which enabled the images’ projection. As such, it foregrounds Muybridge’s role in the invention of cinema, and cinema itself as an illusion arising from stillness.” Preceded by a reanimation of Muybridge’s most famous work, the protofilm Horse in Motion from 1886. MONDAY, APRIL 25, 7 PM PAOLO VENTURA: A VANISHING MAN DIRECTED BY Erik van Empel VIFF Vancity Theatre Vancouver International Film Centre 1181 Seymour St Vancouver BC TICKETS: $12/$10 VIFF VANCITY THEATRE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP: $2 A successful fashion photographer for Elle and Vogue, Italian artist Paolo Ventura turned his back on commercial work and moved into a farmhouse in Tuscany, where he began to create narrative photomontages staged against painted backdrops, with props and costumes he found in the village flea market and often featuring himself, his wife, and his son. Pregnant with narrative possibility, the photographs are at once nostalgic, social realist, and surreal, variously evoking artists such as René Magritte and Edward Hopper and filmmakers such as Jean Cocteau and Roy Andersson. MONDAY, APRIL 25, 8:15 PM PRESENT PERFECT: SHOTS BY CHRIS GALLAGHER—ANY IMAGE IS AN EVENT OF THE PAST THAT HAS CONSEQUENCES IN THE PRESENT VIFF Vancity Theatre Vancouver International Film Centre 1181 Seymour St Vancouver BC TICKETS: $12/$10 VIFF VANCITY THEATRE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP: $2 The word “shot” is common to cinema and photography, simultaneously denoting both the still and the moving image. Chris Gallagher’s short films are pictures with a few minutes of duration that dwell upon the shifting and elusive way time and space are autonomous yet codependent. These pictures foreground the tectonic fault that the act of observation acquires within a representation mediated by duration.

CAPTURE PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL APRIL 2016 this page Patryk Stasieczek Tactile Compositional Iteration, 2016 8” x 10”, photogram on matte chromogenic paper Courtesy of the artist VARIED EDITION OF 30 $123 By the nature of the photogram process—which involves using light-sensitive photographic paper but no camera to create an image—each number of Patryk Stasieczek’s Tactile Compositional Iteration will be a variance on the image pictured here, which is the first edition. Each subsequent edition will be a variance of a calculated attempt at generating a similar composition. Matters of chance and movement during the exposure and placement of materials onto the photographic paper will render a slightly different image each time, making each photogram a unique edition from a larger series. opposite page—bottom Dana Claxton WHY?, 2014 4” x 6”, gelatin print on archival fibre Courtesy of the artist EDITION OF 30 $300 This image was taking during a trip to France, where Dana Claxton roamed the streets with her old Canon AE1, looking for the American Indian in the Paris cityscape. The more she roamed, the larger her focus became, growing to encompass the wider sociopolitical and spiritual environments of the City of Paris—the grand dame of political thinking, culture, and pleasure. During a stroll down one of many cobbled streets, Claxton saw in big letters on a storefront window the word “WHY,” leading her to think of how this simple three-letter word drives so much research, critical thinking, spiritual inquiry, and human behaviour and histories. The resulting photograph captures a multitude of reflections that are as layered as the word itself, WHY.

129 EDITIONS opposite page—left & right Stephen Waddell The Collector and Showroom, 2016 17” x 22”, pigment print on fibre paper Courtesy of the artist EDITION OF 50 $350 Neither a so-called street photographer nor interested in the rhetoric of staged photography, Stephen Waddell creates photographs that deliberately exist in a place of ambiguity. In his work, Waddell intertwines the realist history of early modern painting with that of early street photography to create considered studies of anonymous figures working, relaxing, and moving through the urban environment. In addition to his art historical influences, his work finds links to mid-century modernism, with its renewed optimism for the possibilities of art, architecture, and technology and their ability to enhance the public realm. Today, this optimism tends to fall flat. Together, the two works of this edition invite both a quick and a slow reading, replicating the act of moving through the city alone, observing the people you pass by and allowing the mind to wander as the cast of characters around you take on different forms. previous spread—far right Ian Wallace Clayoquot Protest (August 9, 1993), 1993/2015 9” x 6”, inkjet print Courtesy of the artist EDITION OF 50 $400 This work is an inkjet edition version of a detail from the first large panel of Ian Wallace’s nine-panel canvas work Clayoquot Protest (August 9,1993), which is in the collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery. This detail selects a specific moment in the drama of the protest. What attracted Wallace to this detail from the original panoramic photograph of a gathering of several hundred people is the pensive woman in the foreground, who provides a pedestal for a constellation of portraits of individuals engaged in a demonstration of resistance to authority in the name of a politics of ecological responsibility. There is a rich diversity of expression in these portraits: from anxiety to felicity, from serious purpose to wonder and doubt. Wallace hopes this image will provide an emblem for a contemplation of the complexity of this struggle between human ideals and the exploitation of nature.
