David Horvitz Artist Talk

April 27, 2010, 7pm / Fillip and the Or Gallery are pleased to co-present a talk with Brooklyn-based artist
David Horvitz this Tuesday at 7pm at Fillip’s Vancouver office. Update: due to the high volume of rsvp’s, we have moved the talk down the street to the Or Gallery (555 Hamilton)

A prolific, and incredibly diverse artist, Horvitz’s practice incorporates photography, publishing, performance, and mail art, often through collaboration with friends and strangers. Many of his projects are completed through ASDF, a collaborative entity formed Mylinh Trieu Nguyen in 2007. Recent projects have included The Wikipedia Reader (2008–09), One Hundred $1 Grants (2009), and Songs for the Arctic Ocean (2009).

Following up on his visit to Vancouver last spring, Horvitz will present recent and upcoming projects, including Drugstore Beetle (Sitodrepa Paniceum), a bound exhibition set containing works of 27 artists that were mailed out as gifts to various international libraries. This project operates through a sense of generosity and open distribution that are at the forefront of his practice.

Admission is free. Given space limitations, visitors are encouraged to arrive early to guarantee a seat.
