This launch is presented as a part of the current exhibition at the Libby Leshgold Gallery It's difficult to put a painting in the mailbox: Toward new methods of artists' publishing, and presented by READ Books and Publication Studio Vancouver.

As a part of 10 Different Things, a collaborative public art initiative by Living Labs, City Studio and The City of Vancouver Public Art Program, artist Holly Schmidt examines precarity through a particular granite used in the construction of civic buildings at the turn of the last century and in recent development in False Creek. In her ongoing project, Accretion, Schmidt uses photo, video and writing to document the extraction of a slab of granite from Hardy Island, its transportation to the Mainland, and the transformation that takes place once it enters public space. Accretion acts as an inquiry into the confluence of geological and historical time on coastal shores.
