Although Angela Grauerholz's large-scale
photographs are mostly of vast and empty-looking spaces, the overall effect is somewhat melancholy and poignant, like a remembrance of things past. The faded grandeur of the interiors denotes a loss the viewer can't quite bring into focus; memories of- world events? personal affairs? From what are our memories constructed? This is a great exhibition in one of the most beautiful private gallery spaces in Toronto.
(Angela Grauerholz has also created an unusual interactive archive consisting of four thousand documents about Modernity, though that description does not do justice its innovative and poetic quality: www.atworkandplay.ca.)
