How are contemporary photographers responding to the ubiquity of digital photography? “Part Picture,” set to open tonight at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, takes up this question, arguing that young photographers are increasingly turning towards a sense of materiality. By pulling from other media, they create works that are part photograph, part other—only part picture.
Organized as a part of the 2015 Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival, the exhibition was curated by New York–based Chris Wiley, who gives a brief introduction to the show in this preview video, which was shot during the exhibition’s installation.
“Part Picture” opens tonight, and continues at MOCCA until May 31.
