Ian Carr-Harris: Tracings

A book as a work the work thanking the book for its time.

 

           We measure time by the markers of our presence. In Tracings Ian Carr-Harris measures fifty years of close attention to what an artwork can perform and what can be said about that performance.

           Conceived as a project in response to the forthcoming release of his anthology "Tracings: writing art 1975 – 2020" by Concordia University Press the exhibition references two works from 1973 and 1995. Linked to excerpts drawn from the anthology we’re lead into the history of Ian’s work as well as his writings on artists whose practices he valued and explored. Bound together they invite a reading that dissolves the space between text and work between a book and an exhibition.

           As a project this exhibition is itself a model for the artist's long-held conviction that it is what we encounter that holds value or as he wrote in 1997 "…the general condition of my work is relatively simple: to look at something that we already know and in that looking to discover something we took for granted".
