This poster coincided with Extended Vision: The Photography of Thaddeus Holownia 1975-1997, shown at the Owens from 29 October to 28 November 1999.
A major retrospective exhibition of the photographic work of New Brunswick artist Thaddeus Holownia, organized and circulated nationally by the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography. The exhibition surveys over two decades of the artist’s subtle mediations on place, including photographs from the series Headlighting; Dykelands; Rockland Bridge; An Elemental Landscape; Sable Island; St. John’s Newfoundland: Wide Views; and Ancient Forest Chronicle. Holownia uses a modern version of the Banquet camera which allows him to contact print the negatives with no enlargement, resulting in photographs of extreme, fine detail. Holownia writes: “The large format negative allowed me to explore the whole and the detail simultaneously, something I have continued with for over twenty-five years.”
