#artcriticfromhell | arts writer & curator | I take pictures of what's left when the world ends
Sandy Fairbairn’s exhibition of images of St. Catharines was the third exhibition of six I curated for the Mahtay Café in downtown St. Catharines. It was on display from mid December 2022 to the end of January 2023.
Sandy Fairbairn has been taking photographs of Niagara for over forty years, focusing on the people and places around him. His images of Niagara stretch back to the 1970s, and some of the scenes presented in Welland: Time Present Time Past will be shown in the Rose City for the very first time. I curated this exhibition, and offer some ideas that informed it, and that grew out of it.
