This October Emily Carr University Library and READ Books at the Charles H. Scott Gallery present Jo Cook for our 2016 Artists’ Books Research Residency (ABRRR). Jo Cook Adore-Abhor: Writing Other Peoples Words features a two-session workshop on appropriation as text generator takes Kathy Acker as muse. Participants will combine cut-ups of magazine interviews and use Richard Foreman’s on-line notebooks to produce a new form of interview zine.

Participants may bring images and texts to collage but it is not necessary. There will be plenty of sources to choose from. All other necessary materials will be provided.

Please join us in welcoming Charles Stankievech, recipient of the Audain Distinguished Artist-in-Residence Program for Spring/Summer 2016. Stankievech will be giving a public talk in the Emily Carr Theatre, followed by a reception in the Charles H. Scott Gallery.

The Emily Carr University Library Window Gallery presents Ink Flow, new works by Ellen Tahatakis ('82) from March 28 to April 11, 2015.

Ellen's new work introduces gold and silver foil to her ink artworks. Ellen states, "There is something incredibly freeing working with ink... I'm in the moment, the works are energetic and spontaneous allowing my intuitive inspiration to flow through me, expressed through quick gestural strokes from ink beaker onto paper. It is one of the most freeing feelings to trust what will flow when you allow it."
