Un nuevo museo dedicado a la fotografía siempre es bienvenido
The Canadian Photography Institute of the National Gallery of Canada
is one of the largest public institutes in North America dedicated to
photography. From emerging talent to historical archives and
established artists, it is the place to see and study photography in
all its forms.
A multidisciplinary research centre
committed to the history, evolution and future of photography, the
Institute was established in 2015 and officially launched in October
2016
WHY PHOTOGRAPHY?
As an art form, it has had a profound influence on other media,
functioning as an aide-mémoire for painters and sculptors, as a catalyst
for the development of abstraction, and as inspiration for the
cubists, who borrowed forms from aerial photography and x-rays.
The influence of photography on contemporary
culture cannot be overstated; humanity has become ever more dependent
on, and demanding of, images. Digital photography is now a universal,
daily, even hourly pastime, a standard medium for both mass and private
communication
