Arctic Exposure: Photographs of Canada’s North

Donovan Wylie

Arctic Exposure: Photographs of Canada’s North

Research output: Non-textual form › Exhibition

Abstract

Group Exhibition at McMichael Canadian Art Collection Gallery including works from Wylie's British Watchtowers project.

Canadian identity is strongly tied to the North, yet impressions of this vast, remote, and desolate place have largely been formed through the viewing of photography. Nearly two hundred years have passed since photographs of the Arctic were first taken; a history marked by considerable cultural shifts and changes in image making and production technologies. Arctic Exposure: Photographs of Canada’s North brings together images made between 1881 and 2013, revealing an ongoing fascination with the peoples, places, and mythologies of the North. These visual documents reinforce the power of photographs to generate a compelling sense of empathy and reverence for a place that remains far from reach for most people

Artists included in the exhibition : Donovan Wylie , Jimmy Manning , Norman Hallendy , Richard Harrington , Robert J. Flaherty ,
A.A. Chesterfield and Lachlan T. Burwash.
