Exhibitions by Past galleryDK exhibitors
Posted: 23 Apr 2010 06:39 AM PDT
May is a big month for photography in Toronto, as it is the Contact Photography Festival. The owners of galleryDK themselves have 3 exhibitions coming up, and a number of artists who have exhibited at the gallery do as well.
Felicity Somerset presents Tidal Remnants
Tidal Remnants captures brief inter-tidal moments on the seashores of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The
textural quality of the sand and rocks creates the background for macro and abstract compositions that
last for only a few hours between the ocean tides.
May 1-30
Opening Reception: May 5, 2010 from 7pm-9pm
Cobalt Gallery, 870A Kingston Road (at Beach), Toronto
Louis Helbig presents Beautiful Destruction, Aerial Photographs of the Alberta Tar Sands
The Alberta Tar Sands are a place of superlatives, a place of awesome beauty and destruction where exaggeration of scale and proportion seems almost impossible. They are simply awe-inspiring. With every twist and turn of the airplane, another incredible scene presents itself, followed by another. It’s a linear kaleidoscope of contrasts, colours, and patterns garnished by the movement of machinery below, smoke and effluent; the scene resetting, again and again as the paint of photography – light – makes its daily changes.
May 1-31
Opening Reception: May 1, 2010 from 3pm-7pm
The Rivoli, 334 Queen Street West, Toronto
Chris Hutcheson presents At Rest
Hutcheson photographs places at rest – for a season, or at the end of their useful lives. These places, once active, are now silent, often ignored andisolated, even in busy surroundings. Their presence is often surprising; something happened-across rather than expected. These places have provided services to families, congregations and communities. Hutcheson places great importance on these sites and asks the viewer to remember.
May 1-31
Opening Reception: May 8, 6pm-9pm
The Sweet Potato, 2995 Dundas Street West, Toronto
Tanja-Tiziana and Georgia Kristoffersen present Mind’s Eye
What if a documentary photographer, observing the painter at work, could move beyond the constrictions of her field of view and into the mind’s eye? In this series, both artists allow their medium to envelop them, drawing their eyes away from the surface and into the space where inspiration is drawn.
