Proof 27

Documentation by Darren Rigo

Curator

Gallery 44 

October 29 – December 11, 2021

Featuring Shirin Fathi, Shohreh GolAzad, Karishma Pranjivan, and Xan Shian.

Proof is Gallery 44’s annual group exhibition of work by emerging Canadian artists, reflecting a range of current concerns and practices in contemporary photography and lens-based media.

The artists in Proof 27 hold and reshape the demarcation of space in their explorations of distance and closeness, separation and intimacy. They implement lens-based practices to perform an undoing of demarcation, destabilizing the boundaries through which we define proximity and intimacy and instead reframe understandings of space as multiple and interstitial. The works in Proof 27 plumb the depth of distance, forging an eclectic document of proximity, space and intimacy.
