Description
Vulnerable Light invokes the vulnerability and ineffability of photographic representation. Hayeur’s large composite landscape images mimic the sweeping tradition of the “natural” landscape. Long’s intimate studio portraiture delicately evades the sitter’s exact identity and relationship to the photographer. The two artists position images within the meditative spaces where boundaries between fictions and truths are blurred and teased. Curated by Victoria artist Tamsin Clark and artist-theorist Ted Hiebert.
The opening of Vulnerable Light will also feature the launch of the exhibition catalogue, with a reading by Michael Turner (Vancouver).

Open Space is pleased to present the works of Isabelle Hayeur (Montreal) and Jennifer Long (Toronto).
