EXPOSURE X HAMBURGER EYES EXHIBITION & PHOTO ZINE READING SPACE

Contemporary Calgary
10 February – 27 February 

New for 2022, Exposure will be collaborating with Los Angeles-based photo-zine publisher Hamburger Eyes on creating an exhibition and photo-zine reading space. Through an extensive display of black and white photographs that have been selected and curated by Hamburger Eyes Ray Potes and Exposure’s Beth Kane, the exhibition captures both the unseen and the iconic moments of everyday life. 

Alongside this exhibition, to celebrate the diversity of zinesters in the province local photo-zine makers are invited to present their work in the Alberta photo-zine reading space. To participate visit Contemporary Calgary during opening hours and drop off your work in the dedicated space.

Exhibiting photographers include David Catalano, David Kaplan, Don Standing, Chris Leskovsek, Reuben Radding, David Uzzardi, David Root, Sal Hernandez, Tom Souzer, Andrea Lavezzaro, Troy Holden, Alex Herzog, Uri Korn, Mathieu Van Assche, Simon Vansteenwinckel, Oscar Mendoza, Ryan Florig and Ray Potes.
