Rita McKeough: Works
to
Western Front Gallery 303 East 8 Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia V5T 1S1
We're excited to host this special event in collaboration with our Calgary friends EMMEDIA Gallery & Production Society, M:ST Performative Art Festival and TRUCK Contemporary Art for the Vancouver launch of Rita McKeough: Works. Edited by Diana Sherlock, this critical monograph documents McKeough’s collaborative artistic process and pedagogy from the late 1970s on; her interactions with visual and media arts communities in Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, particularly alternative music and performance scenes; and the audio, installation and performance work that is her ongoing contribution to the contemporary Canadian art community. The book includes contributions from Anthea Black, Eli D. Campanaro, Elizabeth Diggon, Johanna Householder, Areum Kim, Cheryl L’Hirondelle, Deidre Logue, Jude Major, Rita McKeough, Jeanne Randolph, Mary Scott, and Diana Sherlock as well as a vinyl record of audio works from several of McKeough's performances and installations.
Both Rita McKeough and Diana Sherlock will be present for a conversation about the book and her practice.
