Book Launch: Golden Pavilion Notebook
- Time
- 3:00-5:00 PM
Please join us Saturday, September 13th, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM, to celebrate the launch of Golden Pavilion Notebook, a new artist’s book by Barbara Balfour.
During the reception, there will be intermittent readings of excerpts from the publication.
In this book, you will encounter such things as:
various names changes
a conflagration
the start of the story
a few false starts
more of the same
duplicates, replacements, facsimiles
slides, carousels, postcards
clichés
disappointment
Japanese breakfast
impermanence
a family chestnut
Barbara Balfour’s art practice is primarily print-based – spanning artists’ books, multiples, and installation. Her curatorial projects, critical writing, and conference papers tend to focus on print media and text-based art. She is particularly fond of lithography.
Balfour wishes to acknowledge the support of the Department of Visual Art & Art History, York University, Toronto.
