Occupy Toronto G44 Exhibition

10 days ago, Alice Dixon, the Exhibition Coordinator at Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography, approached me to do a showing of my Occupy Toronto photos. Alice wanted the exhibition to be timely and told me that we'd have about eight days to get everything ready. Between photographing the imminent eviction of St. James Park, getting the photos prepped and sent to Alice, and other assignments and work, things were a bit busy. Nevertheless, everything got done and the show turned out great.

The exhibition features three 30" x 45" Giclée prints and three HD monitors running slideshows of photographs. The work will be on display through the month of December in the Gallery 44 Vitrines at 401 Richmond Street in Toronto.

I am really excited to be a part of a project that marries the timeliness of photojournalism with the aesthetic and presentation of contemporary photography. The show opened last night and the responses were overwhelmingly positive. Alice, Darren, Marvin and everyone else at Gallery44 did a fantastic job in helping it all come together.

Below are a few photos from last night's opening. Enjoy!
