Jessica Thalmann

Artist Jessica Thalmann will lead a workshop with participants interested in alternative photographic practices and the creative potential in manipulating photographs of domestic interior spaces and residential architecture. This workshop is suitable for photographers, collage, installation and sculpture artists wishing to explore the boundaries between these mediums. Thalmann will present a lecture on her work and other artists exploring the home including Gordon Matta-Clark, Do Ho Suh, Ryan Oskin, Daniel Gordon etc...

Gallery 44 acknowledges that it is situated on stolen land. We work and create on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe, the Wendat and the Mississaugas of the Credit. This land is home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis and is protected by the Dish with One Spoon wampum agreement—a treaty that extends to Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations and invites us to share the land peacefully through mutual cooperation. Gallery 44 is inspired by the spirit of this agreement and through our work, seeks to share space and build equitable and reciprocal relationships across communities. Read More
