Photo: The Walker, by Teresa Alexander-Arab(Halifax, Nova Scotia) - ONE ART at ViewPoint Gallery is a group exhibition of twelve photographers and one contemporary composer. In it, these artists have responded to Elizabeth Bishop's poem "One Art." This exhibition's photographers were selected by an independent jury: Adriana Afford, Robert Barriault, and Anne Simpson.
ONE ART participants are: Teresa Alexander-Arab, Binnie Brennan, Marla Cranston, Heather Francis, Laurie Gunn, Rena Kossatz, Sandy Leim, Irene Miller, John D. Scott, Roxanne Smith, Sandi Wheaton, and Monika Wright.
The composer is Ian Crutchley, who was commissioned by ViewPoint Gallery to create this sound installation. This is the first time ViewPoint Gallery has collaborated with a composer. The artists are local, national, and international, and range from first time exhibitors to artists with considerable exhibition experience. The work in the exhibition is richly contrasting, varied, and all linked together by the poem "One Art."
