True Stories: A Photo Excursion
Extending the range of Canadian Art’s fall issue, “True: Photography and the Revival of Realism,” the new exhibition
series Canadian Art Now, curated by Canadian Art editor Richard Rhodes, presents “True Stories: A Photo Excursion” at
Art Toronto 2010. The series looks at works by photographers Donald Weber, Evan Lee, Alison Rossiter and Thomas
Kneubühler, which are scheduled in three separate exhibitions during the Fair. Covering aspects of photojournalism,
formal experimentation and classical picture making, the exhibitions highlight photography’s engagement with the world
as we see it. With its paradoxical combination of documentary capture and distancing mediation, photography occupies
a central place in the revival of realism. It offers itself as a critical model of how vision, like reality, is a contingent construction
of appearances and never a singular, one-time, one-way transaction.
