Motto Storefront: Oscar Tuazon
June 26, 2010, 2pm / Motto Storefront transforms Artspeak into a temporary space for the sale, presentation, and discussion of contemporary art publishing. The selection of printed matter for the store has been made by Motto, a Berlin and Zürich-based bookstore and distributor specializing in experimental, small run, and self-published artist books, magazines, and fanzines.
Motto Storefront is organized by Artspeak and Fillip, with Motto, Berlin and takes place at Artspeak, 233 Carrall Street. The store is open Tuesday to Sunday 12 – 5pm.
Motto Storefront provides the context for a series of related public programming intended to create a sustained dialogue within Vancouver on issues related to the production and consumption of art publishing. Formed around an ongoing, ad hoc residency program with international publishers, designers, artists, and booksellers, this series will take the form of weekly talks, workshops, and launches investigating alternative retail models, self-initiated design practices, and small scale publishing initiatives.
On Saturday, June 26 at 2pm, Oscar Tuazon will outline his work with Castillo/Corrales and Section 7 Books, a gallery and bookstore he co-founded in Paris, France. He will also discuss the recently released catalogue of his work co-published by Paraguay Press, of which he is a co-founder.
About the Speaker
Oscar Tuazon is a artist, writer, publisher and curator based in Paris, France, and Tacoma, Washington. In 2007 he co-founded Castillo/Corrales, a collectively-run gallery in Paris, and Section 7 Books, its in-house bookstore. Begun as an attempt to establish a new infrastructure for small-press publishing within Paris, the store hosts regular events including, most recently, talks by Brian Kennon (2nd Cannons Publications), Will Holder, and Aaron Flint Jamison (Veneer Magazine). Tuazon’s own work has appeared in solo exhibitions at ICA London (2010), Kunsthalle Bern (2010), Künstlerhaus Stuttgart (2009), and Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2007). A catalogue of his work was recently published by Do.Pe. Press and Paraguay Press, with Kunsthalle Bern, Centre d’art Contemporian Ile de Vassiviere, and Parc Saint Leger.
