Curator
Gallery 44
October 29 – December 11, 2021
Featuring Shirin Fathi, Shohreh GolAzad, Karishma Pranjivan, and Xan Shian.
Proof is Gallery 44’s annual group exhibition of work by emerging Canadian artists, reflecting a range of current concerns and practices in contemporary photography and lens-based media.
The artists in Proof 27 held and reshaped the demarcation of space in their explorations of distance and closeness, separation and intimacy. They implemented lens-based practices to perform an undoing of demarcation, destabilizing the boundaries through which we define proximity and intimacy and instead reframed understandings of space as multiple and interstitial. The works in Proof 27 plumbed the depth of distance, forging an eclectic document of proximity, space and intimacy.
