Documentary & Panel: Vancouver Conceptual Photography | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Berkeley Center for New Media presents a screening of the new documentary Picture Start, directed by Harry Killas.

Picture Start documents how a small group of artists put Vancouver at the leading edge of contemporary art. Focusing on Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace and Rodney Graham, three celebrated artists of the so-called Vancouver School, the film traces the history of the development of Vancouver photo-conceptualism, capturing the relationships between the artists and their peers.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion with Blake Stimson (Art, UC Davis), Julia Bryan-Wilson (Art History, UC Berkeley), Sandra Phillips (Senior Curator of Photography, SFMoMA) and Director Harry Killas (Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Vancouver, Canada).
