Penny Cousineau-Levine, chair of the University’s Department of Visual Arts is co-curator of a major American photography exhibition, which features the contemporary and historical works of more than 50 established and emerging Canadian photographers.
On January 6, the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City inaugurated Faking Death: Canadian Art Photography and the Canadian Imagination.The title of the exhibition is borrowed from Cousineau-Levine’s groundbreaking book about Canadian photography.
“An exhibition of this scope permits the viewer to experience the astonishing diversity, richness, and energy that is Canadian photo-art,” explains co-curator Claude Simard of the Jack Shainman Gallery. “And what a wonderful opportunity it is to present these important and influential Canadian artists, many of whom enjoy international success and acclaim, together in New York.”
The exhibition continues until February 11, 2006.
