In celebration of Arts & Crafts Productions’ ten year anniversary, Norman Wong x Arts & Crafts includes an iconic black-and-white portrait series featuring artists of the Arts & Crafts roster, as well as a photographic retrospective on the record label. Wong, a Toronto-based fashion and celebrity photographer, is a longtime friend of Arts & Crafts and has had a unique opportunity through the years to document and work with musicians associated with the Arts & Crafts label.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I am tremendously excited to present the body work that represents my start as a photographer, and at times has been one of the reasons I kept going. These are photographs of people who mean a lot to me. They are my friends, family and heroes and it’s a special honor to finally show this private collection as part of AC10 celebrations” – Norman Wong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Elizabeth Zvonar with her work<\/p>\n

Blending content from contemporary fashion and science magazines with themes and imagery pulled from historical lifestyle monthlies, Zvonar alters her source material to make images that are strange enough to invite closer contemplation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Elizabeth Zvonar, Blind Love<\/em>, 2012<\/p>\n

The exhibition engages a conversation about daydreaming and history, the future and metaphysics, light humour, sex, and other complications. Zvonar continues to explore themes of the unknown and the possibility of something more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The most interesting abstraction leaves room enough for metaphor; or maybe the most interesting metaphor leaves room enough for abstraction.<\/p>\n
