Description: Gallery 44 presents our annual emerging artist showcase, Proof — now in its fourteenth year. Artists are selected from a call for submissions that are culled from across Canada. Artists are chosen on the basis of artistic merit rather than a theme, creating a multiplicity of perspectives. Proof focuses on a broad range of contemporary photo-based practices that concern a new generation of Canadian artists. This years artists are Jaret Belliveau (Moncton), Ana Black (Vancouver), Osheen Harruthoonyan (Toronto), Alynne Lavigne (Toronto), Jacinthe Lessard-L (Montréal), Scott Massey (Vancouver) and Olga Zotova (Toronto). All seven emerging artists are engaged in the evolution of photographic practices while examining a larger cultural whole. Whether they are investigating isolation, closure and new beginnings or the illusive nature of memory, each artist in Proof 14 fearlessly delivers an exciting approach. The selection committee for Proof 14 consisted of former Proof participant Angela Del Buono (Proof 13) and Exhibition Selection Committee members Colin Wiginton, Alice Dixon and Stephanie Rogerson.
