\"galen's<\/p>\n

Wherever buildings meet there are dialogues—I think this is what Galen shows us in these photographs. The framing of his photos directs us to a meeting of walls, a confrontation of fences, a shouldering of homes on one another, a vulnerability of facades. The particular buildings that attracted Galen speak in an idiom which is rarely noticed. His project, in one sense, was to record these overlooked local exchanges, this slang of buildings. <\/em><\/p>\n

The above is an excerpt from the catalogue essay for an exhibition of photographs going up at Stephen Bulger Gallery<\/a> in Toronto this week. The photographs are from a series focused on vernacular architecture by Galen Kuellmer<\/a>, a talented and inspiring young artist who died in a bicycle accident in May 2004. The opening is this Thursday.<\/p>\n
