AGO announces photo prize finalists

Vancouver’s Elizabeth Zvonar is among four international artists shortlisted for the Aimia/AGO Photography Prize.

Zvonar joins Talia Chetrit of the U.S., Jimmy Robert of France and Ursula Schulz-Dornburg of Germany on the short list for the $50,000 prize.

The four finalists will present their work at an exhibition opening Sept. 7 at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Exhibition curator Adelina Vlas says the nominees all work with photography “in singular ways, each of which embodies a current mode in contemporary art.”

This year’s winner will be chosen by public vote, with voting beginning in person during the exhibition and on the prize website on Sept. 14.
