@ the MacKenzie

With Projections coming to the MacKenzie, a lot of Gallery staff members have had old school photography on the brain. What better way to usher in "a major survey of projection-based works in Canada, 1964-2007," than to celebrate the impending and inevitable (I hope!!!) return of the recently defunct Polaroid film?

Interested? Want to learn more? Check out The Impossible Project for the Re-Invention of Instant Film. Their goals is to re-start production of analog INTEGRAL FILM for vintage Polaroid cameras in 2010; apparently, they have acquired Polaroid's old equipment, factory and seek your support. According to the website, they are also supported by Ilford. Too good to be true? I certainly hope not!

We have a bit of time to wait between now and 2010. In the mean time, visit the MacKenzie's Second Look: Bobbie Taylor Resource Area (after February 13) for an exciting timeline tracking the history of film/photography and projection-based work. There are also a number of exciting Projections programs coming up that you won't want to miss!
