The relationship between photography and modern architecture and urban planning has been analysed in depth. Optical Verve is a group exhibition of recent works by Canadian, American, European and Asian artists who enlist the global city to explore post-photographic vision. The contemporary artworks featured in the exhibition foreground the implications of digital imaging and its reconfiguration of the city. In many works, this is expressed through the blurring of boundaries between bodies, architecture and space, a fusion operated through such forms of compression as speed, editing, digitization, repetition, immersion and database. Together, these works point to the ways the city is redefined, inhabited and performed in the era of the digital image and post-photographic vision.

Curator/commissaire: Sylvie Fortin
