  • July 21, 1992 - April 4, 1993 (Gallery 5)
  • This exhibition begins as a work in progress that offers the public access to what normally occurs behind the scences in the creation of an exhibition. The exhibit, which opens in September, presents the developmental work pioneered by MOA staff to examine the complex and dynamic painting traditions of the First Peoples of the B.C. coast. The results of infared photography, raking light and computer images are used in the exhibition gallery by contemporary First Nations artists of the northern coast to recreate paintings not seen for more than a hundred years.

Transforming Image

Subseries contains records directly related to the planning, development and execution of the Transforming Image exhibit at MOA. Planning for the exhibit began in 1983 when grants were obtained to begin research on Northwest Coast paintings. The exhibit itself occurred in 1993. The exhibit was the end result of research and development of a technique to view severely faded Northwest Coast First Nations paintings and painted objects through the use of infrared technology. Records include correspondence and information requests, public relations files, grant application information, budgeting information, papers, conferences and publications about the Transforming Image, files related to the publishing of the Transforming Image book and school interest in the exhibit.

Due to its large volume, The Transforming Image subseries has been broken down further into sub- subseries: Administration records; Research files; Book related; and Institutional photographs.
