VANCOUVER CREATIVES EXHIBITION
VNB Photo announces the official photography exhibition of the “VANCOUVER CREATIVES” portfolio next month in collaboration with MAKE, VANCOUVER IS AWESOME & JUKEBOXPRINT! Mark your calendars and join us for a special opening event on Thursday, June 19th from 7:00 to 11:00 pm at MAKE at 257 East 7th Avenue to get an up-close view at this fine art celebratory work and enjoy a public talk and following Q&A session with VNB!
Launched last November, “Vancouver Creatives” is a collaborative Calotype photography project by VNB Photo aimed at showcasing some of the best creative talent present today in the city both historically and contemporarily. Midway between documentary and portraiture, the resulting 22 handprinted black-and-white portraits present a unique historical focus on Vancouver’s creative ethos. All photographs are purely analog, a VNB Photo trait, being taken on special coated paper using a 1920s 8×10 camera system to deliver authentic and vibrant portraits of inspiring Vancouverites.
The intent behind the work isn’t to claim ‘the’ very best creative Vancouverites but rather to offer an open discourse on ‘who does what’ remarkably in the most diverse yet inclusive fashion possible. In the end the vision presented isn’t absolute or conclusive: it brings together both the promise and legacy of Vancouver’s creative culture.
