Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography has an additional exhibition venue with its three vitrines. Located in the 401 Richmond Building, just outside the glass-walled entrance of Gallery 44 in a large corridor, two of the three 4' square cases have a viewing distance of 6 feet. The first of these cases opens onto a corner space opposite the gallery with approximately 7 feet of viewing distance. Between each is a space of approximately 1 metre. The walls of the hallway are exposed brick, painted white; the floor is varnished wood. These vitrines can also be used as light boxes, illuminating images from behind. Gallery 44 is seeking works executed for, or adapted to, a space such as this, with its contained character, sequential layout, and shallow (8”) depth. With electical outlets available, works containing elements such as sound and video may also be considered.
