A Private Showing of Prints at Pith Gallery, Calgary, AB

noreply@blogger.com (mkking@telus.net) — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 03:39:00 +0000

You are invited to view a student photography show at Pith Gallery in the old bottle depot in Inglewood, Calgary 1018 9 Ave. SE until Feb 27. By private invite only. Stop in at Frosst Books to be let into the gallery if you are in the area!

My instructor comments on my gallery choices...

Nice choices for the show. I would lean towards showing the images that are simply about the markings left by the horses. I think these are very strong visually and conceptually....the images you have of the stalls and places that show wear of the horses are sophisticated and mysterious and go a long way to actually talk about horses lives: with repitition, the comfort of finding food placed for you in the same spot, the evidence of lives lived in these spaces....the viewer I think will linger for a longer span of time when they have to think about who left these marks, and what they mean, and when you remove them from the context (which sort of includes the farm and the horses themselves), how beautiful and almost painterly the marks are. This kind of conceptual strength sets your work apart.... I just am enchanted by the black and white textural pieces.
