Book about Canadian art Photography

[MattKing]

So it has extensive Canadian cultural roots.

And extensive Canadian political and economic roots as well.
All of which relates to values, which may be a subject for the Ethics and Philosophy sub-fora.

CBC is going downhill (vs 1980 for sure, when I considered entering their BBC-like journalism program). Radio is nearly irrelevant.... kids don't listen to radio... And there seems to be no interest on this thread to First Nations who, since they are modern people, make great videos (why would they make prints?)

If there was such a thing as Canadian or American photo several here would have provided Amazon links.

correction: My pursuit was with the then National Film Board (not CBC) which withered, has been supplanted by National Film Board of Canada.

CBC is still quite relevant up here, at least for me.

CBC now has the best network oriented, internet music service I've encountered.
Varied and/or eclectic, voluminous, reasonably well organized and completely free.
As the majority of users leave broadcast media for internet based ones, they seem to be really quite visionary, while still maintaining institutional values.

I don't find anything about "arts" or "photo" on CBC but I do find ads for Chicken Chalupas, which are described as uniquely Canadian). Please provide photograph links.

Here is a link to the CBC Arts website, with lots of different story links, including some Canadian photographic ones: https://www.cbc.ca/arts
I wouldn't necessarily expect to find much photographically related conduct on CBC broadcast TV or radio.
The Knowledge Network (in BC) would be better - here is one example that requires a login for internet access: https://www.knowledge.ca/program/foncies-photos
Here is another Knowledge network link: https://www.knowledge.ca/program/snapshot-art-photography

The 2018 recipents of the Canadian Photographic Institute Research Fellowship Program follow.

Lori Alexander, a doctoral student in art history and theory at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, will examine the work of five Canadian Indigenous photographers to explore how the artists use or reference historical photographs.

Hilary Dow, an MA student in art history at Carleton University, will explore the role of women in photography and in 19th- century photography albums in the CPI collection.

Martha Langford, Research Chair and Director of the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute for Studies in Canadian Art and professor in the Department of Art History at Concordia University, will pursue two projects: the research and writing of a comprehensive history of photography in Canada and a collection of essays on the development of photographic studies in Canada from 1968-1983.

Karla McManus, an art historian, and Andreas Rutkauskas, a photographer, will research the National Film Board of Canada’s Still Photography Division publication, Between Friends / Entre amis, a gift from the Canadian government to the United States at the time of its bicentennial. They will examine how the publication came about, its legacy and impact.

Marjolaine Poirier, a doctoral student at the Université du Québec à Montréal, will research the production and circulation of stereoscopic views of Quebec City and Montreal between 1850-1885 in the CPI collection to explore the relationship between the views of the cities and the construction of imaginary places.

Audrey Sands, a doctoral student in the history of art at Yale University, will research Lisette Model’s teaching, as well as her years working for Harper’s Bazaar.

Does someone know A SCHEDULE featuring upcoming shows featuring Canadian photographers?

Not that I know of. Most of them are more likely to be streamed rather than broadcast, so "schedules" are kind of "last year" anyways.

Faking Death: Canadian Art Photography and the Canadian Imagination
by
Penny Cousineau-Levine
4.44 · Rating details · 9 ratings · 0 reviews
In Faking Death Penny Cousineau-Levine examines the work of over 120 Canadian photographers, revealing important aspects of Canadian identity and imagination. Contrasting Canadian photography with American and European traditions, she shows that Canadian photographers are often preoccupied with a place that is elsewhere, a doubling and duality that also occurs in Canadian literature, film, and political life. Subverting the documentary tradition and other stylistic idioms for their own distinctive ends, Canadian photographers exhibit an ambivalent preoccupation with death and dying, bondage, and entrapment. Cousineau-Levine argues that this is characteristically a 'faked' death that expresses a collective Canadian wish for a symbolic passage to national maturity. Faking Death includes 16 colour reproductions and 150 duotones by artists such as Raymonde April, Jeff Wall, Lynne Cohen, Charles Gagnon, Evergon, Michel Lambeth, Thaddeus Holownia, Geoffrey James, Genevieve Cadieux, Shelley Niro, Diana Thorneycroft, Jin-me Yoon, Ian Wallace, and Ken Lum. By bringing together this many Canadian works Faking Death provides a compelling visual introduction to one of Canada's most vibra (less)

Transcript: Robert Burley: Photography's End of Analog | Dec 19, 2013
Steve sits in the studio. He's slim, clean-shaven, in his forties, with short curly brown hair. He's wearing a gray suit, white shirt, and blue tie with polka dots. Behind him, a wall screen reads �The Agenda, with Steve Paikin.�

Steve says THE WORLD OF ANALOGUE
PHOTOGRAPHY IS FADING.
DIGITAL CAMERAS FROM YOUR SMART
PHONE TO HIGHER END DSLRs HAVE
REPLACED THE NEED FOR THAT ROLL
OF FILM.
CANADIAN PHOTOGRAPHER ROBERT
BURLY SPENT TIME DOCUMENTING THE
COLLAPSE OF WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY
AND CHRONICLES ITS END IN HIS
CURRENT EXHIBITION, IT'S CALLED
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF DARKNESS.
HE JOINS US IN THE STUDIO.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

Robert replies NICE TO MEET YOU.

Robert is a man in his early fifties. He has short gray hair with receding lines and a goatee. He�s wearing a black suit with no tie and a gray shirt. He�s also wearing glasses.

A picture of Robert�s book appears on screen. The cover is black and white. It�s called �The disappearance of darkness. Photography at the end of the analog era.�

Steve says THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL
BOOK WHICH IS IRONIC BECAUSE NO
ONE WILL BE MAKING BOOKS LIKE
THIS ANY MORE.

Robert says I HOPE NOT.

A caption reads �Robert Burley. Photographer. Ryerson University.�
The caption changes to �Photography�s End of Analog. Shifting the focus.�

Steve says THE DISAPPEARANCE OF
DARKNESS IS A SERIES OF
PHOTOGRAPHS THAT MAKES
PHOTOGRAPHY ITSELF THE CENTRAL
ISSUE.
LET'S START WITH THIS: WHY DID
YOU DECIDE TO TURN THE CAMERA ON
ITSELF, AS IT WERE?

Robert says WELL, IT STARTED BACK IN
2005.
NOT TOO LONG AGO.
BUT I HAVE TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT
AT THAT TIME I STILL LIVED IN AN
ANALOG WORLD.
I THINK MOST PEOPLE STILL DID.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT
PARTICULAR TIME, KODAK, YOU
KNOW, THE NAME THAT HAS ALWAYS
BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH PHOTOGRAPHY
THROUGHOUT THE 20th CENTURY
WAS ON PAR WITH APPLE.
YOU KNOW, THEIR STOCKS WERE
TRADING ABOUT THE SAME.
FACEBOOK WAS A BRAND NEW
COMPANY. .....

I was once in Canada. Canadian sunsets and sunrises healed my soul from all the pain that I got. I still have photos from Canada near me

If you go to The National Film Board and google House Calls you will see an one hour documentary about my best friends journey doing house calls with photography. I am in the opening scene.

this won a Gemmi the year it was released (probably due to the darkroom scene) as well lead to a 14 month show at the ROM where over 1.8 million visitors saw it. He is now working on the second stage of this project.
