Gallery 44’s annual exhibition of emerging artists features the latest photographic practices from across the country. This year’s exhibition is unique for its representation of a diverse range of media including sculptural and hand crafted pieces. The show includes a book work (Busse), images from YouTube (Febbraro), jacquard weavings (Jung), multiple prints mounted together with layers sliced away (Kubota), a video work (Pennock), an interactive table installation and flipbook animation (Russo) and gum bichromate prints (Young). Gallery 44’s 2009 artist in residence is Jim Verburg, whose multimedia installation is a culmination of his work during the residency.

These self-portrait weavings that were completed last year as a collaboration between Katie Jung and Elif Saydam, two Montreal based artists, are now the cover of the latest Worn Fashion Journal. The two artists laboured away many hours on a Jacquard loom to create these amazing (and huge) pieces. You can read an interview with them about the process in the new issue and you can see more of their work here.
