Published to accompany a multi-venue event in the artist s home town of Vancouver, this publication offers a rare look into the world s largest private collection of Graham s work. The Rennie Collection lent works to the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia, and the Charles H. Scott Gallery at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design, thereby creating one of the largest ever public showings of the artist s multidisciplinary works. Anchored by a major scholarly essay my Mark Godfrey, Senior Curator of International Art at Tate Modern, and accompanied by dozens of full-page colour illustrations of Graham s works including a 40-foot-high wall of recent paintings, the book also features a creative fiction by novelist Susie Boyt, a music essay by author Bob Stanley, as well as a 7 vinyl with two musical tracks from a jam session that took place in Rodney Graham's basement. Rodney Graham's exhibitions have been held at Whitechapel Art Gallery, London; Lisson Gallery, London; Davis Roberts Art Foundation, London; Hauser & Wirth, Zurich; Hambrger Kunsthalle, Hamburg; Museo Picasso, Barcelona, and many more. |
