MAY 6, WEDNESDAY/MERCREDI 6 MAI Une exposition photographiees de Anna-Katharina Scheidegger. Née en 1976 à Sumiswald, en Suisse, Anna-Katharina Scheidegger a vécu à Paris et à Berne. Elle a suivi des études à l'ENSAD, puis au Fresnoy, Studio national, de 2003 à 2005. Toronto Nights montre des photographies d’immeubles la nuit, prises sur les toits de Toronto. La nuit, la ville semble changer dans ses volumes et ses proportions. Ce n’est plus la présence physique qui détermine la hiérarchie des buildings, c’est leur mise en scène et leur éclairage. Le verre, le béton et le métal forment des compositions rigides, plongées dans la lumière artificielle de la nuit et se mettent en tension avec la douce apparence des intérieurs. On cherche l’humain, dans la jungle urbaine anonyme et répétitive. Et on le trouve. Les différents papiers peints et les décors des intérieurs apparaissent: le nid intime de tout un chacun. Les détails qui forment la promesse d’une fiction urbaine, qui nous rassurent dans le dispositif froid des habitats comprimés. En partenariat avec le Studio Le Fresnoy, le Consulat Général de Suisse et le Consulat Général de France. * * * * As a part of the CONTACT photography festival, the AFT presents "Toronto Nights" An Exhibition of photography by Anna-Katharina Scheidegger. Born in 1976 in Sumiswald, Switzerland, Anna-Katharina Scheidegger lived in Paris and in Bern. She studied in the ENSAD, then in the Studio national de Fresnoy, from 2003 to 2005. With the fall of night, the city seems to change in its proportions and forms. Darkness frames the interiors of apartments and highlights the individual element within the urban web. The personal, warm nest of the citizen is like a single pixel in the image of a contemporary society. Scheidegger tries, in silent ways, to surprise. The process she engages in to create her work is to step back, wait, see and finally, to show. With the support of the Studio Le Fresnoy, the Consulat général de Suisse and the Consulat général de France. Au 29 Mai, 2009, Till May 29, 2009.

Madame Sanaz Mazinani's colour diptychs and marquee photographs explore the physical landscape and human faces of contemporary Iran, her country of origin. Each image contains its own narrative qualities and together they create a complex portrait of the country. The recent history of Iran familiar to most outsiders begins with the Islamic Revolution, followed by the resulting social restrictions successive leaders have imposed on the country. This aspect of history is incomplete and offers only a narrow view of Iranian culture. Madame Sanaz Mazinani is a recent recipient of the Canada Council Art Bank Program and this exhibition is supported by Ontario Arts Council Material Assistance Program. Curated by Bonnie Rubenstein, Director of Contact Toronto Photography Festival. Till June 6, 2009 Au 6 Juin 2009.

E-mail: [email protected] . 80 Spadina Ave., Toronto *** Salt and Earth *** "Whole Village" An Exhibition of photographs by Jonathan Taggart. TORONTO . . . Jonathan Taggart's Salt and Earth (2008) offers an impressionistic portrait of Whole Village , a contemporary farming cooperative whose biodynamic practices offer an alternative to dominant agribusiness models. Revolutionary in their "off the grid" objectives, communal farms such as Whole Village rely on the pooling of member resources to achieve self-sufficiency. In a late-capitalist society, the collective's lifestyle is exceptional in its means, aims and commitment to sustainability. Shot from the hip and presented in rich black-and-white tones, this series depicts a community's embrace of ancient farming practices, extraordinary in today's short-term gain/high-tech culture. Slow, hand-wrought and labor intensive, here everything old is new, echoed even Taggart's chosen approach of analogue photography. Sensual, close in, bathed at times in sparkling luminosity, at times in inky shadow, these scenes move us along with the cycle of the seasons. Simple acts and subtle tensions play on through the everyday lives of the community. Family-like, yet not just one family, the collective comes together and moves apart. In Salt and Earth, the members of the collective stand before us, quiet revolutionaries in the face of environmental peril, suggesting what may be one answer to our way forward. -Katy McCormick Till June 6, 2009 Au 6 Juin 2009.
