Opening Reception:

About the exhibition:
Outer Circle Road is a collection of Toronto landscape photographs by Seth Fluker depicting a city’s energy in constant flux. On view in the Daniels Faculty’s Larry Wayne Richards Gallery, the work exhibited features distinct subject matter exploring the interplay between human activities and seasonal change.
The exhibition’s title, Outer Circle Road, references Fluker’s connection to the University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus, which he frequently cycles to. Curated by Jeannie Kim, the exhibition is being presented by the Faculty in partnership with CONTACT Photography Festival.
About the artist:
Seth Fluker was born in Orillia, raised in Vancouver and now lives in Toronto. These days, as a self-taught photographer and filmmaker, he is predominantly concerned with human attachment to place and the depiction of landscapes and water cycles. Art Metropole, Hassla and New Documents have published books on his photography, which are part of the MoMA, Tate Britain and Yale University libraries. In 2017, CONTACT Photography Festival exhibited Blueberry Hill, a collection of Fluker’s Canadian landscape photographs, on 32 billboards across eight Canadian cities, with the placement of these billboards defying locality, offering viewers visual access to distant and sometimes remote spaces within the country.
The exhibit will be open from Thursday, May 23 to Friday, June 28, 2024.
