Description

Linda Carreiro and Lan “Florence” Yee refute the notion that what cannot be apprehended is worthless. Their glossary may be read as a manifesto encouraging us to pay more attention to the blurs and vagueness of our environments and thoughts, and to our societies’ invisibilities – prompting us to open our creative minds and welcome uncertainties and the unknown with generosity.

Let blurs be blurs, the authors tell us, let us transform invisibilized knowledge into alluring rhythm. Let blurs shine in their diversity and various incompatibilities. Theirs is a scintillating human approach to knowledge. What they offer us is not a glossary, but a cornucopia.

Linda Carreiro has been using text in her visual art practice for almost thirty years. Solo exhibitions include Center for Books Arts (NYC), Harcourt House Gallery (Edmonton), Mallin Gallery (Kansas City), Truck Contemporary Art (Calgary), Limerick Printmakers Gallery (Ireland), Nickle Arts Museum (Calgary) and Gallery 101 (Ottawa).

Lan “Florence” Yee is a visual artist and cultural worker based in Tkaronto/Toronto & Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal. They collect text in underappreciated places and ferment it until it is too suspicious to ignore. Their work has been exhibited at the Toronto Museum of Contemporary Art, the Textile Museum of Canada, and the Gardiner Museum.
