The Foto Bug will be at Nicholas Metivier Gallery on Saturday, April 28, 2 – 4pm

This May, Max Dean takes to the streets of Toronto in the Foto Bug (a cube van built on top of a 1966 Volkswagen beetle) for a new performance project, ALBUM – an homage to the humble photo album. From 1992 - 2002 Max Dean acquired 600 family photo albums from flea markets around the world. The albums date from 1910 to the 1980s. During the month of May, these albums will be on display at the Art Gallery of Ontario, who has acquired 200 of the albums. Dean is seeking "custodians" for the rest of the albums. During the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival, Dean will park the Foto Bug at various locations around the city (in front of Nicholas Metivier Gallery on April 28) where people can take ownership of an album.
