Tent. Vancouver, Vancouver Art Gallery, 27-10-2012, 24-02-2013. - Ian Wallace is a major survey exhibition of the work of one of Canada's most significant contemporary artists. Based in Vancouver, Wallace has played a critical role in the development of contemporary art since the late 1960s. His early experiments with monochromatic painting, his production of large-scale photographic tableaux and his juxtapositions of photography with painting stand as the basis for a distinct body of work for which Wallace has become internationally recognized. Ian Wallace was among the first to use large-format photography in the 1970s, equating photography with the scale of cinema, advertising and history painting. This has been significant in elevating photography to the status the medium represents today. For Wallace, pairing fundamentally contrasting media-the visual emptiness of the painted monochrome against the visually dense, documentary nature of the photographic image-demonstrates a thorough and sustained reflection on the nature of representation as a method to construct meaning in the world
