_backspace a photographic group show at Slide Room Gallery

This exhibition includes photographic work by internationally acclaimed artists Vikky Alexander, Stephen Waddell and Sarah Fuller alongside local artists Elspeth Finlay, Johanne Hemond, Selena Roberts and Francis Sullivan. Signifying both overlooked or forgotten spaces and a nod to a digital disconnect or a desire to exit from everyday processes, _backspace will depict the physical and psychological borders between private and public space. Questioning the functionality of residual manmade and natural spaces for retreat amongst our continual desire to catalogue and redefine and land forms and their architectural structures.

“Attachment: New Photography” at Gallery at the Mac

The theme of “Attachment” has inspired a challenging and creative response from the most literal, to the emotional, to the highly conceptual. Over 60 images capture the diversity and range of artistic expression of fine art photography.

“Exploring the creative process through photography is our common bond,” says artist Lis Bailly. “From traditional film and darkroom printing techniques, to social documentary approaches, to full blown digital abstraction, each photographer
offers a new and unique vision.”

The group from Victoria and Vancouver Island communities include: Lis Bailly, Victoria Clarke, Fraser Clark, Don Denton, Christopher Holt, Sam Lightman,
Tom McCabe, Suzanne Mir, Keith Neufeld, Francis Sullivan, Devin Tepleski and Will Winter. 

This is the first exhibition by this active fine art photography group which
includes emerging and professional photographers, designers and painters, whose individual work is shown and collected both locally and nationally. The group meets monthly at Luz Gallery for Photographic Arts to exchange ideas, share
expertise and review portfolios. 

The public is invited to the Artists Opening at 7pm on Monday, April 2, 2012 at the McPherson Playhouse, Pandora and Government.

The exhibition “Attachment” runs from April 2 - May 27, 2012 and can be seen during performances or by appointment at the Gallery at the MAC 250 361 0800.
