Artist Multiples Workshop – Space available

Is there anything new to learn about artist multiples? The answer is yes, particularly when that learning opportunity is brought to you by staff at Toronto’s Art Metropole, one of North America’s premier distributors of artists’ books and multiples.

There is still space available for the Artist Multiples Workshop which will be held on Friday March 30 from 1-5 pm at Art Metropole. Staffers Miles Collyer and Denise Ryner have prepared a superb program with a focus on Canadian practitioners (see full description below).

Artist Multiples
Friday March 30, 2012 1:00pm – 5:00pm @ Art Metropole.
Workshop Leaders: Miles Collyer, Shop Manager, Art Metropole; Denise Ryner, Registrar/Archives, Art Metropole.
Description: This workshop will introduce the practice of artist’s multiples to the art library community. It will establish artist’s multiples as an alternative to artist’s books, demonstrate their role as an information resource, and attest to their rightful place in a library’s collection. It will focus on the unconventional artistic practice of artist’s multiples, with a focus on contemporary Canadian practitioners of the form. In addition, the specific artistic practice of Canadian artist Maura Doyle will be explored, with a focus on the artist’s work in the multiple form and a discussion of her approach to the medium.
