Overview
CONTACT Festival, Works in Practice - Cassils, Suzanne Nacha, Roula Partheniou, Gordon Shadrach

Featuring works derived from the unique creative practices of Cassils, Suzanne Nacha, Roula Partheniou, and Gordon Shadrach, Works in Practice explores the use of photography and image-making by artists whose practices are centred in the mediums of performance, painting, and sculpture. Using a range of methods, the artists capture photographs at various stages of their process as a means of ideation, translation, and documentation.

 

Although none of the four artists identify primarily as photographers, photography plays an essential part in each of their creative practices. For some, photography has become part of a daily practice, analogous to the act of drawing. Revealed in Works in Practice are the artists’ sources of inspiration from the world around them, their relationship with their collaborators, and their processes for world and language-building.

 

Curated by Adrien Sun Hall

 

Works in Practice is a core exhibition for the 27th edition of the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival.
