Dianne Bos 

New Photographs and Sound works from “Camere Illuminati” & “Son et Lumière”

May 31 – June 21, 2003 Opening: Saturday May 31, 2-5pm

We are pleased to announce a solo exhibition of recent work by Dianne Bos: Camere Illuminati; colour interiors and Son et Lumière; black and white interiors and exteriors. 

In the fall of 2002, Bos presented the two bodies of works in solo exhibitions at public galleries; Camere Illuminati at the University of Waterloo Art Gallery, Ontario and Son et Lumière at Kamloops Art Gallery, British Columbia.  Catalogues accompanied both exhibitions, and will be available at the Wynick/Tuck Gallery. 

In the Camere Illuminati series, Bos captures light in an old studio villa in Todi, Italy. Carol Podedworny, Curator/Director of the University of Waterloo Art Gallery, states in her exhibition catalogue,  “Within the Todi villa studio, Bos’s camera appears to caress the architecture of the space, provoking historical memory of the environment and ambience we imagine to infuse the Renaissance artist’s workshop…”

Bos photographed and recorded sound in Paris, Rome and Ginza for the Son et Lumière, (sound and light) series.  There is a time space relationship within the work as the sound is the same duration as the exposure used to take the image, giving the viewer a greater sense and experience of place.

Quoting from the catalogue Son et Lumière, Bos states; “My work challenges the view of photography as a way to capture an instant in time. By using pinhole cameras and long exposure times I record, not an instant, but rather the passage of time at a site.”

The artist would like to acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
