Begin ning in the late 1970s artists such as Ian Wallace\, Jeff Wall\, Christos D ikeakos and Rodney Graham developed intellectually rigorous approaches to p hotography. Breaking with the romantic landscape tradition that dominated a rt making and collecting in Vancouver well into the 1970s\, they developed practices that both articulated an affinity with the avant-garde projects o f early modernism and uniquely acknowledged the specific place and historic al moment in which they were working.
Comprised primarily of work fro m the Gallery’s collection\, the exhibition will include photographs and vi deo work made over the past twenty-five years that build upon this conceptu al framework while picturing the built environment and the vast “natural” l andscape that makes up much of this province. Artists included in the exhib ition include Roy Arden\, Karin Bubas\, Stan Douglas\, Rodney Graham\, Mari an Penner Bancroft\, Barrie Jones\, Sandra Semchuk and James Nicholas\, Henri Ro bideau\, Althea Thauberger\, Jeff Wall\, Ian Wallace and Paul Wong\, among others.
Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and curated by Grant A rnold\, Audain Curator of British Columbia Art.
