Category Title Date Time
Exhibit The Silent Observer 2012-02-12 10:00:00
Description

He is known as the “father of Canadian photojournalism,” quietly clicking with the "eye of an artist, the concentration of a surgeon, and the reflexes of a cat." From Trudeau’s mischievous slide down the banister on Parliament Hill, to Ben Johnson’s momentary thrill of triumph at winning the 100 meter dash, to the accusing glance of a child of the Chernobyl disaster, Ted Grant has created thousands of iconic images over the past six decades, distilling our world into single, expanding moments.
 
The Silent Observer features Grant's latest work, a continued exploration of healers, this time from the point of view of medical interns. Grant captures these young men and women in classrooms, operating rooms and rural clinics, from moments of intense concentration to playful laughter, as they journey from student to physician.
 
Ted Grant is the only photographer to hold both Gold and Silver medals for Photographic Excellence from the National Film Board of Canada. He has published eight books, lectured at prestigious universities and taught courses for the School of Journalism at Carleton University. He has acted as Photographic Coordinator for the Pan American and Commonwealth Games, and for the World Athletic Championships in Edmonton. In 2008, he was presented an Honorary Doctorate of Laws Degree from the University of Victoria.

Exhibit The Emergence of Architectural Modernism II: UVic and the Regional Aesthetic in the Late 1950s and 60s 2012-02-12 10:00:00
Description

The second in a series of exhibitions and publications exploring the relationships, personalities and projects contributing to the development of a regional modernist aesthetic in the post-war Victoria urban landscape, this exhibition develops themes of the earlier exhibition Town and Gown: Centennial Square and the the Gordon Head Campus: Seminal Projects (1962–1972) March 10–May 2, 2011.

During this period a small number of legacy architectural firms changed Victoria's built environment with forward-looking planning and bold new architectural forms. Drawing on plans, drawings, photographs and architectural models from the period, this exhibit explores a number of planning initiatives, design projects and building programs that defined this important phase in the development of the Capital Region.

Photo is Bay Parkade Entry 1960 by Hubert Norbury.

The Legacy Art Gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Exhibit CinemaSwiss - An Exhibition of Swiss Designed Posters 2012-02-12 12:00:00
Description

Although the art of poster design is first and foremost an advertising tool it also reveals the collective values, moral beliefs and cultural identities within a given society. As such the CinemaSwiss exhibition in Victoria does not only allow us to gain a deeper understanding of Swiss style but also invites us to experience a colourful, creative and influential visual language.
