Guest Curator at Koffler Arts, Barbara Astman, leads a walkthrough of the exhibition featuring photography by Elinor Carucci and Hannah Altman. She addresses the challenges of the long-distance, three-way, multi-generational collaboration and shares her perspective about the artists’ unique and shared themes.
Astman belongs to a visionary group of artists who have continued to radicalize visual culture since the early 1970s by defining new ways of seeing. Over four decades, she has explored a wide range of photo-based media and produced work, which has received national and international recognition. She is represented in important public, corporate and private collections including the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Deutche Bank, New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Her artist’s archives are held in the E.P. Taylor Research Library & Archives, AGO.
As a Professor Emerita at OCAD University, Toronto, she has been instrumental in inspiring generations of emerging artists. Active in the Toronto arts community, Astman has served on numerous boards and advisory committees, including the AGO Board of Trustees (2009-2013) and was President of the Board of Directors at Prefix (ICA) Institute of Contemporary Art, Toronto. Astman is represented by Corkin Gallery, Toronto and Paul Kyle Gallery, Vancouver.
