Internationally renowned artist Jeff Wall at the Canton Sardine gallery in Vancouver, BC Thursday, January 12, 2023.
“If people ask me, usually I do it,” said Wall, 76. “I was acquainted with them, Lam and Steven , I’ve seen a few exhibitions there. And one day I guess they decided to ask me if I wanted to make a show there. Very simple. It seemed like an interesting thing to do, locally, easy.”Article content “It seemed that these city views that I’d made would probably be the most interesting to a local audience, because they show the city as it not quite is anymore.Article content
Wall is known for his large pictures in lightboxes, a process he discovered “almost by accident” in the 1970s.“Because in the ’60s what people did in photography was still determined by the idea of the ’30s and ’40s, which was that it was kind of an outgrowth of journalism, and therefore was mostly designed or conceived to be about the size of the production of a page in a book or magazine.
Wall was born and raised in Vancouver. He received his Masters in Art History at the University of B.C., where he studied from 1964 to 1970. He has lived on the same block in Point Grey “on and off since 1967,” and has “a few buildings” in Japantown that he uses as studios.“There’s a highly evolved infrastructure for looking at and dealing with new art ,” he said.
