SHOOT BACK Vernissage Thursday, September 22nd, 2011, 18:00 - 20:00 On View September 22nd, 2011 - October 4th, 2011 Artists: Sara Baldi, Melissa Blackman, Andrew Carson, Benoit Duquette, Mitra Eghtedari, Paule Fournier, Kelly Hein, Alison James, Olivia Johnston, Jamie Kronick, Whitney Lewis-Smith, Talhia McNeil, Ben Murray, Meghan Nicholas, Martin Nombrado, Jennifer Noseworthy, Kathy Roussel, Cory Shepherdson, and Caroline Tallmadge Visual correspondence between Ottawa School of Art (OSA) and School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa (SPAO). The eighty photographs that make up Shoot Back were made in a collaborative project between two teachers, two schools and nineteen students. Born from the idea of sending postcards through the mail, students were asked to create a photograph for exchange. That photograph was then identified by number only and sent from SPAO to OSA where students laid out the photographs on a table and chose one photograph that they wanted to respond to. Students responded visually to by creating another photograph to send back. The response was open-ended. Whatever they deemed significant about the photo they chose set the course for future correspondence. And so it went for 3 months. Week after week, images traveled back and forth between the OSA and SPAO in a tidy accordion file. The students did not meet or have any reference as to whom they were corresponding with until the session ended, and did not even have to follow the same thread week by week. They were purely reacting to visual cues and "shooting back". When they did finally meet, they found that however different their schools and styles were, it did not alter their common passion for photography.
