Curatorial Tour | Barrie Jones: Urban Wild
ADMISSION
Free
Join us for a curatorial tour of the West Vancouver Art Museum’s exhibition, Barrie Jones: Urban Wild.
Jones’s photographs draw attention to small moments of the everyday, from labourers at work and leisure activities, to subtle facial expressions and bodily movements. This exhibition explores Jones’s outdoor photography, featuring Vancouverites interacting with urban green spaces throughout Vancouver and the North Shore.
Barrie Jones (RCA) is a Vancouver-based photo artist. His practice focuses on the human figure as a site of complex personal and collective identities, and on the urban environment and its many intersecting layers of social, economic, and personal histories. He taught at the University of Windsor before returning to British Columbia in the mid 90’s where he was an instructor of photography at the University of British Columbia until 2021. In 2017, he was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Art. In 2025, he was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal for his significant contribution to the arts.
