The Polygon Gallery

Opening Jul 10 Greg Girard. The first career survey of one of Canada’s most important contemporary photographers, presenting more than 160 photographs spanning the past half century, including never-before-seen outtakes from his iconic photobooks, tracing the artist’s evolution as a photographer. The show highlights Girard’s deep engagement with the urban landscape, beginning with his early work in Vancouver, where he documented the city’s streets, neighbourhoods, and shifting social fabric in the 1970s and ’80s. Girard then spent decades living in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai, where he captured those metropolis’s extraordinary and often tumultuous transformations at the end of the 20th century and into the 21st.
