For those in Toronto, many will be aware of the innovative work Holly and Ka-Sing Lee are doing with IndexG - galleries, Gzine, Gnews, Gbay auction and GoodEdition, to name some of their initiatives. Info may be found on the site IndexG site.
The galleries are located on 50 Gladstone, just north of Queen St W...basically across the street on Gladstone from the Gladstone Hotel.
But now, they are offering photography and art lovers something new....free Saturday evening projections and discussion. The first screening was held last night and showed work from the European photo collective 'Smoke'. Bob Black, who is curating the projections, will introduce viewers to international photographers we might not otherwise see in Toronto....including photojournalism and documentary work.
The projection was only about 30 minutes, but the hope is discussion within the group of attendees will emanate from the work shown. If this event catches on, the possibilities are quite exciting. So, if you are looking for something informal yet stimulating to do on a Saturday evening, come out to these free projections and help support a new photo initiative in the city.
