Exhibition runs October 23 - November 30\ , 2013

In 1969 UBC students organized an exhibition called The P hoto Show in the newly constructed Student Union Building that was per haps the first exhibition of its kind dedicated to showcasing both local an d international artists primarily interested in looking at new Conceptual p hotographic strategies. The 1969 exhibition included works from young stude nts and faculty from the Department of Fine Arts such as Christos Dikeakos and Illyas Pagonis who curated the exhibition\, Jeff Wall\, Ian Wallace\, a nd Iain Baxter. In addition to exhibiting their own work they had the initi ative to secure works for the show from international artists they admired and who displayed the same emerging ethos of conceptual art like Dan Graham \, Vito Acconci\, Douglas Huebler\, Robert Kinmont\, Ed Ruscha and Bruce Na uman.

This new exhibition presented by the Department of Art History\ , Visual Art and Theory will include Christos Dikeakos’s archive of the 196 9 Photo Show and many of the original works originally exhibited in 1969. T he intent of the exhibition is to explore what made the art scene at UBC in the late 1960s exceptionally innovative\, the impulses that were driving c hanges in photography\, and their continuing relevancies for photo-based ar tists today.

Artists in the exhibition: Vito Acconci\, Donald Burgy\, Christos Dikeakos\, Dan Graham\, Kate Henderson\, Douglas Heubler\ , Barrie Jones\, Robert Kinmont\, Scott McFarland\, Bruce Nauman\, Illyas P agonis\, N.E. Thing Co.\, Ed Ruscha\, Robert Sandilands\, Bill Vazan\, Jeff Wall and Ian Wallace.
