Art Talks: Ian Wallace in conversation with Hilary Letwin [VIRTUAL]
Wednesday, April 24 at 7 p.m.–8 p.m.
FreeJoin West Vancouver Art Museum Curator Hilary Letwin in a conversation with artist Ian Wallace, one of the founders of the Vancouver School of Photoconceptualism.
This talk is in partnership with the West Vancouver Art Museum, presenting Home and Away: Ian Wallace on display from March 13 to May 4.
At age 10, Ian Wallace moved with his family from the interior of BC to West Vancouver, where he developed his interest in becoming an artist by sketching local views in the community. This exhibition begins with drawings and watercolours from the artist’s youth, which are presented in tandem with new photographs taken from the same vantage points within the community. This hyper-local work is presented with Wallace’s 2014 work from his ongoing Hotel Series, created and exhibited in Baden-Baden, Germany. Despite being devised far away from West Vancouver, this series has strong ties to the community of Wallace’s youth. Place plays a crucial role in this exhibition, with an unstated acknowledgement that home is never far away, regardless of one’s physical location.
This show is a Selected Exhibition for the Capture Photography Festival 2024.
