Photographers:
Alexi Hobbs’ photos from the Private as Public show at the Harbord Coinwash.Toronto’s CONTACT Photography Festival opened yesterday and so did ‘Private as Public’, the unofficial after-party and group photography exhibit.
Cheap beer, tunes, and all new work from photographers Brett Gundlock, Eamon Mac Mahon, Steve Veilleux, John Goldsmith and many, many more. While I couldn’t make it in person, I sent a couple of prints to take my place.
WILLMS: 2013 CONTACT Portfolio Review Exhibition Award
Ian is honoured to have been selected for the 2013 CONTACT Portfolio Review Exhibition Award. From the CONTACT website:
“At the CONTACT 2013 Portfolio Reviews, Ian Willms presented two extensive documentary projects that he has been developing for the last few years. As Long as the Sun Shines looks at the effects of Canada’s oil sands extraction on the residents of indigenous reserves of northern Alberta, and Why We Walk explores the Mennonites’ history of pacifism and persecution by retracing their migration path across Europe.
The jury was highly impressed by Willm’s intimate approach to documentary photography focused on social issues, which is enhanced by his nuanced use of colour and evocative approach to black and white. As a result of the award, Willms will mount a solo exhibition in the CONTACT Gallery in early 2014. See more of his work at ianwillms.com”
