Exhibit A : Photography from Atlantic Canada

"Exhibit A features the work of nine artists whose lives and artistic practices originated in the Atlantic provinces. While all of these artists approach photography in individual and idiosyncratic ways, their work has been indelibly imprinted by their East Coast experience. Often eschewing romantic notions of the sea and rejecting the traditional genre of seascape photography, these artists shift their gazes from the sea to the land. In so doing, they examine constructions in the landscape that, whether for habitation, worship, industry or leisure, offer evidence of life in the region, past and present." -- p. 9-10
