Donated by the artist; sold to benefit the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival

Note:

Max Dean has been producing significant works of art for over 35 years. Multi-disciplinary and prolific, Dean’s work encompasses performance, video and installation works as well as photography. His recent photographic work explores deeply-held associations with personal objects and the relationships between artist, viewer and the work itself. In 2012, Dean showcased more than 400 family photo albums he had collected over a two-year period at various venues throughout Toronto. The albums were then given away to visitors at each location, allowing the albums to take on new identities and associations for the new owners. The work Two Stacks of Photo Albums (2012) documents this theme and collection.

Dean’s impressive artistic resume includes representing Canada at the Venice Bienale, exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), the Mendel Art Gallery (Saskatoon), the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Winnipeg Art Gallery. His work is held in the permanent collections of these institutions. He is also the recipient of the Gershon Iskowitz Award, the Joan Chalmers Award and in 2014 received the Governor General’s Award for Visual Art.
