Upcoming exhibition to explore Arthur Erickson’s travels The CCA exhibition will examine architect Arthur Erickson’s exchanges with people, places, landscapes, buildings, rituals, and ideas during his travels in Europe, North Africa, and Asia. The opening of the exhibition Being There: Photography in Arthur Erickson’s Early Travel Diaries will be taking place at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal on Thursday, November 14, 2024. Curated by David Covo, the exhibition examines architect Arthur Erickson’s exchanges with people, places, landscapes, buildings, rituals, and ideas during his early travels in Europe and North Africa between 1950 and 1952, and in Asia in 1961. The exhibition, presented as a geographical and thematic reading, is structured around two collections: Erickson’s letters and photographs. This new chapter aims to explore how travel photography acts as a mode of note-taking and thinking in design practice.
