Gareth Long and Derek Sullivan: The Illustrated Dictionary of Received Ideas
October 7, 8, 9, 2010
Co-produced with the Conference 2010 Res Artis, The Americas: Independent Artistic Practices in the Era of Globalization
To be held at the Just for Laughs Museum, 2111 Saint-Laurent Boulevard in Montreal
From October 7th to 9th, Gareth Long and Derek Sullivan will work on their on-going project to illustrate and translate Flaubert’s Dictionary of Received Ideas. Seated at an iteration of Long’s Bouvard and Pécuchet’s Invented Desk For Copying, a series of desk-sculptures pulled from the unfinished pages of Gustave Flaubert’s incomplete last novel, the two artists intend eventually to illustrate every entry in Flaubert’s posthumously published satirical dictionary – a text that contains 950 biting and surprisingly contemporary entries. They have compiled their collected illustrations to date in a new version of their bookwork, The Illustrated Dictionary of Received Ideas. A new edition containing all illustrations completed to date will be launched at the conference.
Long and Sullivan have worked on the Dictionary through more than a dozen illustrating sessions to date, which have included public drawing sessions at Printed Matter and Kate Werble Gallery in New York, Smack Mellon in Brooklyn, Mercer Union and Jessica Bradley Art + Projects in Toronto, and PS1 Contemporary Art Center in Queens.
Constellation and Correspondences: Networking Between Artists 1970-1980
Co-produced by Artexte and the National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives
Exhibition Curator: Felicity Tayler
Presented in Ottawa from 15 September to 24 December 2010 at the National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives, the exhibition will inaugurate Artexte’s new space in the building 2-22 Sainte-Catherine Street East in the Fall of 2011.
At the end of the 1960s, Canadian artists coalesced into collectives that ran parallel to established museum and gallery systems. Throughout the 1970s, these alternative spaces experimented with media such as printed matter as a means for artists to network nationally and internationally. As hybrid documents blending visual and textual expression, printed matter functioned simultaneously as information and as art. A constellation of relationships and revelatory practices can be traced through this material, providing insight into the impetus of artist-run centres and the early work of such artists as Michael Morris, Vincent Trasov, Glenn Lewis, AA Bronson, Tom Sherman, Clive Robertson, Garry Neill Kennedy, Tom Dean and Tanya Mars.

Public Presentation by Jen Allen
Writing Art: from Payant to the Present
with Jennifer Allen & François Dion
In the first part of this presentation, Allen will describe the results of her research on René Payant’s donation of exhibition catalogues to Artexte. An art historian and a critic, Payant privileged a theoretical and interdisciplinary approach to writing about art, whether classicist painting, photography installation or feminist video. What role did the exhibition and the catalogue play in his writing? By comparing Payant’s reviews with the catalogues he collected, Allen will show how the catalogue comes to function as documentation, aide-mémoire and site of confrontation.
