Most of the photographs were taken between 1856 and 1965 by staff photographers using large format cameras. The resulting finely detailed images enable us to carry out an archaeology of public museums\, with the museum itself positioned as artifact. \nThe exhibition’s curator\, Vid Ingelevics\, writes in the exhibition catalogue that “the historical photographs are uniquely able to show us the relentless construction of an impression of objectivity… The photographs selected for this exhibition draw attention to the museum as a construction site (a sight\, in fact)\, sustained by many forms of labour.” Camera Obscured explores the ways in which museums and photography work on one another to produce knowledge. \nCurator’s Talk\nThe Toronto-based curator-photographer\, Vid Ingelevics\, presented an informal talk in the gallery on Sunday\, May 23\, 1999.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16663″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
