JOI T. ARCAND, NORTHERN PAWN, SOUTH VIETNAM – NORTH BATTLEFORD, SASKATCHEWAN, 2009
The Blue Hour
Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC - Apr 6 – Jun 24
Launching the Capture Photography Festival, The Blue Hour features five Canadian and international artists who challenge conventional notions concerning the photograph’s relationship to time. Joi T. Arcand, Kapwani Kiwanga, Colin Miner, Grace Ndiritu, and Kara Uzelman take on an extraordinary idea proposed by the 19th-century art historian and critic Elizabeth Eastlake: that the photographic image “approaches us from the future and arrives in the present.” Prepare to be suspended in time.
