ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

iPhoneography Montreal’s Unlock exhibition offers the visions from three artists who have iPhoneography as a common medium, a new form of mobile photography that is gradually being accepted in the evolving world of the visual arts. Literally, the title refers to the function of unlocking the iPhone, but figuratively, it is the evocation of creative freedom, so inherent to mobile art. Finally, the Unlock exhibition pushes the boundaries by working with EyeEm from Berlin, a group that promotes mobile art through a website of international reputation. Two artists will be selected by the EyeEm team and MissPixels to exhibit their work with us.

Gérard Godin
Born in Montreal, Gérard Godin grew up between the metropolis and New Brunswick where he moved when he was nine.
It’s precisely this love of urban environments, and an innate talent to find beauty in the most mundane settings, that sends him to study photography under Francis Coutellier at the Université de Moncton.
He finds a way to blend his passion for photography and his technology skills when he discovers iPhoneography.
Today, he is co-manager of IGersMontreal and was recently selected by Worbz for a contemporary photography exhibit in Brussels.
