A huge Thank You to everyone who came out to the Contemporary Art Gallery for Capture’s Closing Party and the opening of the James Welling exhibition The Mind on Fire on November 14th! We’d been anticipating an amazing exhibition since the early days of the Festival, in fact, Welling’s exhibition dates helped sway our decision to … Continued

Katie Huisman, photographer and co-curator of An Evolutionary Look into Vancouver Street Photography, took some atmospheric documentation photos of Capture’s public installations.

Coupled with Jessica Eaton’s recent project for CPPS, these exhibitions are great examples of the wide range of fascinating photographic approaches that are proliferating in … Continued

The photos play with notions of truth and perceptual experience, while referencing Berenice Abbott’s The Science Pictures. The exhibition was only … Continued

On a beautiful day last week we set out just before the sunset to photograph a handful of Capture’s public installations around town.
