Monthly Open Studio at Project Space in Vancouver:
Loose Agglomerations of Deconstructed Imagery
29 January 2015, 7-10PM
Join Project Space for their Monthly Open Studio presentation of “Loose Agglomerations of Deconstructed Imagery,” an exhibition of collage works and publications based on a recent review of the Vancouver Art/Book Fair which appears in KOLAJ #14.
“Where and how does collage fit in at a book fair? Not surprisingly, collage as a creative technique has a similar presence in book form as it does on the exhibition circuit: battling for page or wall space along with photography, drawing and painting, with the added competition of literature and critical writing.”
The exhibit brings together original works by Julie Doucet (Montreal), James MacSwain (Halifax) and James Kerr/Scorpion Dagger (Montreal). Several of the books and ‘zines reviewed in the article will be available for purchase including:
fersu by T. Macmillan/H. Noriega/L. Shiveral (Late Cuts and Project Space Press: Vancouver, 2015)
The Adorable Little School of Art of Canada by Julie Doucet (Le Pantalitaire: Montreal, 2014), as well as other recent self-published titles.
Medusa by James MacSwain (Perro Verlag: Mayne Island, BC, 2014), as well as other recent tiles produced in collaboration with Jo Cook.
The Capilano Review vol.1 no.1, as well as other issues featuring contemporary collage.
and KOLAJ #14, as well as a limited number of all Kolaj back issues and Collage Artist Trading Cards, Packs 1-6.
Monthly Open Studio events are hosted every third Friday of the month and are organized by Project Space’s Curatorial Collective. This edition was organized by Stéphane Bernard, a frequent contributor to the Project Space blog at projectspace.ca.
