Paying Attention
at the Fairmont Pacific Rim

Berenice Abbott
William Eggleston
Walker Evans
Fred Herzog
Geoffrey James
Vivian Maier
George Tice

Equinox Gallery十分荣幸与Westbank旗下坐落于与Fairmont Pacific Rim酒店的Pacific Gallery合作，推出这场含括Berenice Abbott, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Fred Herzog, Geoffrey James, Vivian Maier 和 George Tice作品的摄影群展 " Paying Attention"。这些作品阐述了在快速增长和过渡时期下，城市环境演变中转瞬即逝的、经常被忽视的时刻。这些摄影师跨越了过去100年的几个城市，他们的共识是：现代生活中最熟悉的东西往往是最无常的，其意义可能只有在它消失后才能感受到。

作为城市的漫游者，本次展览的摄影师利用不同的美学策略，在一张图片中呈现出过去、现在和未来的炼金术。从Berenice Abbott在20世纪30年代拍摄的纽约市引人注目的建筑图片，到Fred Herzog在20世纪50年代拍摄的温哥华早期彩色场景，"Paying Attention" 中的摄影师们各自探索了我们的环境随着时间的推移被塑造和重塑的大小方式。

本场展览由Equinox Gallery及Capture Photography Festival呈现。

50 Years | 50 Stories

Equinox Gallery marks its 50th anniversary in 2022. To celebrate this institutional milestone and offer a glimpse into aspects of gallery life from the past 5 decades, we present 50 Years | 50 Stories, an eclectic mix of artworks that trigger significant triumphs and challenges, personal anecdotes, and creative strategies. As one of the anchors of the nation’s commercial art sector with over 400 exhibitions to its credit, we have represented many of Canada’s top talents in tandem with international artworld giants. Through a selection of works by artists who have been featured at the gallery, this exhibition is an opportunity to consider the gallery’s focus on developing artists’ careers in the context of larger and ever-shifting art world narratives.

While much has changed at the gallery over the past 50 years, our long-term relationships with artists and collectors (both public and private) remain central to the gallery’s ethos. It is by nurturing such deep-rooted connections that we are able to contribute to the significant role art plays in enriching people’s lives.

感谢您在过去50年的支持，我们期待着下一个50年的到来。
