"TORONTO"

An Exhibition of photographs by Scott Johnston.

"The images don't seem to leave me alone". Johnston seems to be in a constant state of composing, cropping, and editing, seeing the potential of a great photograph, "Watch what happens when the light changes", before it is camera-ready. This is all happening whether or not he has a camera in his hands. It is important to attempt to establish what constitutes a good photograph. "When there is an understanding, when I can convey a thought or a statement within the guidelines I have set for myself, if there is a connection, then I imagine I have created a successful photograph".

In conversation with Margaret Baxter
October 2007

"Experience Essence"

An Exhibition of work by Gary Goldberg.

Years ago a Photography instructor of mine, gave me an assignment. The assignment was to capture “Essence”. It did not matter what the photographic subject was, it was important, to get to the grit, the guts, that made it a truly great image. Please join us at the opening of “Essence” at “Cobalt Gallery” with an eclectic mixture of Landscape and Fine Art Photography.

Dans le cadre du festival CONTACT, l’AFT présente l’exposition

"Toronto Nights"
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.

"Iran Revisited"
An Exhibition of photographs by Sanaz Mazinani.

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.

*** 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.

To look back, to find a connection to my original of experience

*** anachronistic and ethereal dreamscapes depict Art Deco style buildings, etc. ***

An Exhibition of painting by Douglas Walker.

Douglas Walker's anachronistic and ethereal dreamscapes depict Art Deco style buildings, Baroque letters and colossal foliage with decorative flourishes and filigrees characteristic of Art Nouveau and in the distinctive blue and white palate of 16th to 18th century Delftware. These paintings recall art movements such as Arts & Crafts and Symbolism, as well as folk art and science fiction illustration. Where most artists use painting as a servant to image making, Walker approaches it the other way around the resulting imagery derives from painterly technique. The rich microcosm of painted marks resemble fireworks, plants, Moorish architecture, Baroque lettering, feather boas, pom poms and sea creatures. Walker combines feminine and masculine, art and craft to exude an aura of mystery.

Since 1987 Doug Walker has exhibited in museums including the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Hallwalls in Buffalo and the I.C.A. in London.
