Evidence - Photography Exhibit

Location: Agnes Jamieson Gallery, Minden
A group exhibition featuring photographers Ryan Szulc and Darren Lum exploring the role of photography today. Society often holds photography to be undeniable documentation. It embodies everything and presents back to us unavoidable realities. Evidence is a group photography exhibition with Ryan Szulc and Darren Lum. The exhibition examines the role photography plays in society today. Is the ultimate role of photography to document? Does society hold it as the true witness of our time? How much do we trust it? If it has become abused by technology is it just 'eye-candy'? We spend a huge amount of money and time living vicariously through events portrayed in a sensationalistic manner which, really, are none of our business. Yet we spend little time and give little consideration to images that are evidence of our interaction with land that could lead to serious ramifications. This exhibition moves from shocking to stark realities that pulls the viewer through a myriad of emotions.

The Narrative of Landscape

Location: Agnes Jamieson Gallery
The Narrative of Landscape is an exhibition featuring Elaine Carr. Carr is interested in human evidence on the land from a mapping / surveying viewpoint. Her work is a combination of topographical maps aerial photographs applied to a plaster resin with pictorial imagery drawn on top. This work views the land from both internal and external using different perspectives simultaneously, giving a sense of both real and unreal. Elaine Carr is a visual artist and educator. She was born in Scotland and lived most of her life near the sea or the Great Lakes. Her work is influenced by land and place. This is evident in her current work that views land and water from an internal and external perspective. The landscape is viewed from different yet simultaneously-existing perspectives. The transient nature of the view, the interconnectedness and internalization of the topographical scape become part of the work.

Video - Toxic Trespass

Location: Your Home
Raising awareness of the connection between your children�s health and our environment. Book a casual in home video showing for your friends. This is not a sales event. As a courtesy to attendees this is a no scent event (includes perfumes, personal care and laundry scents). In Toxic Trespass, intrepid filmmaker Barri Cohen launches an investigation into the effects of the chemical soup around us. She starts with her 10-year-old daughter, whose blood carries carcinogens like benzene and the long-banned DDT. Then, Cohen heads out to Windsor and Sarnia: Canadian toxic hotspots, with startling clusters of deadly diseases. The filmmaker journeys into toxic nightmares all too common in industrialized countries. She meets passionate activists working for positive change, along with doctors and scientists who see evidence of links between environmental pollution and health problems. And she learns how quickly barriers can go up sometimes, when authorities are questioned about the connection between toxins and serious health problems. This film is essential viewing for anyone concerned about the effects of pollutants on our � and our children�s � very DNA.
