CALENDAR OF EVENTS
October 2009
This forthcoming exhibition and book are two of the great highlights at Lúz
Gallery this year. Guest curator Duane Prentice combed through the archives
of Ted's finest images documenting the world of medicine and has put
together an outstanding collection of some of Ted's iconic images alongside
previously unpublished or exhibited works.
For years I have felt that a gallery needed to do a retrospective of Ted
Grant's work documenting the medical profession, and for years none have
done it? Until now!
Dr. Ted Grant is truly the farther of Canadian photojournalism. His fifty
plus year career has taken him from covering the Six Day War in the Middle
East to the Summer Olympic Games in Munich or the children of Chernobyl. He
has published seven books, has 280,000 negatives in the National Archive,
has lectured at the Leica International Seminar for 15 years, and in 1999 he
received the CAPIC Lifetime Achievement Award in photography along with the
great portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh. In November 2008, the University
of Victoria granted and honorary Doctorate of Laws in recognition of Ted's
contribution to photography and his dedication to teaching.
Through all of this Ted Grant has remained a humble and compassionate
documentarian, with a keen eye who found a deep personal connection and
satisfaction in documenting the work of the medical profession. This work
produced two significant books: Doctor's Work, The Legacy of Sir William
Osler, and Women in Medicine, A Celebration of their Work; co-authored with
fellow photojournalist Sandy Carter.
The exhibition opens to the public on October 22nd, and we have scheduled a
film screening of The Art of Observation produced for Bravo Canada by
Asterisk Productions, and evening in conversation with Ted on October 29th.
