Abstract
In 1998 Joan Stebbins, curator at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, invited Toronto-based photographer Geoffrey James to photograph the city of Lethbridge, Alberta. James is known for his large format black-and-white photographs of specific sites: formal French gardens; the city of Paris; the running fence on the border separating the US and Mexico; asbestos mines in Quebec. In late 1999 his photographs were exhibited as "The Lethbridge Project." Subsequently novelist Rudy Wiebe was invited to write a parallel text to accompany James's photographs for Place.
