Under the direction of Mark Laliberte, four local artists at various stages of their careers and with different artistic practices will have the opportunity to collaborate over the course of five days. By first scavenging the County for materials and then occupying the Sadie Knowles, Upfront and reception spaces, the impromptu team will decorate the walls with countless collages and objects of a spontaneous nature. Residency Dates: Jun 08 – 11,

Here’s the official plot synopsis: “When Vince is paroled from his five-year stint for a heist gone wrong, he finds life on the outside to be incredibly challenging. Forced back into a dangerous life of crime by his former boss Kranski, Vince is pressured with having to pay back a hefty debt for botching up the heist. Working as a welder in Kranski's garage/chopshop, Vince finds solace in making sculptures from metal shards and found objects in his spare time. But when his brilliant sculptures are discovered by the sexy, predatory art dealer Belinda, his chance for a new life starts to change as well as his problems. Caught between the pressure to pull off heists for Kranski and becoming the toast of the art world, Vince has to cleverly maneuver and fight his way out to become a free man and his own artist.” |

It should be noted that this series of energetic graphics was originally developed in b/w throughout 2002-03, appearing as a series of "pagework" projects for magazines such as BROKEN PENCIL, DESCANT, WEGWAY and others. The modified and colourized versions presented in this exhibit mark the first time that these images will be made available in a print format, and the first time they will appear in a gallery context. Exhibition Dates: November 18 – 30,

Description: 200 x 200mm, 128
pages, 500 illustrations in colour, perfect-bound paperback Badges, buttons and pins
have been around for over a century. Today they're everywhere: on lapels
and bags all over the world and in the sketchbooks and on the screens
of some of the hottest graphic designers, artists and illustrators.
A badge can be a cheap and easy way to display political or cultural
affiliations or it can simply be a fashion accessory. Cheap to produce
and easy to make at home, the humble badge is the new T-shirt. A guide
to the best and most beautiful badges being produced right now - be
they graphic, textual or plain illustrative - this book explores the
rich variety of uses of the badge since the year 2000 – whether
it be promotion, revenue-raising or simply decorative. It will appeal
to graphic designers, illustrators, fashion designers, artists, music
lovers and badge enthusiasts of all ages. ::::::::::

Thinkbox performed recently in Chatham, ON (Canada)... our installation-based 'Archive' exhibit (which debuted last year at the Art Gallery of Windsor) has now toured on to the Thames Art Gallery; to close off the exhibit, we did an improv audio performance on Feb 09, featuring 5 of the 6 Thinkbox members... possibly one of our only 2007 appearances as a collective: it's getting increasingly difficult to get all of us in the same room as members spread further and further across the continent over time.

...firstly, their physical releases are now being carried by the Canadian Music Centre (originally formed in 1959 as a central repository for information, recordings and music scores for Canadian classical and electroacoustic composers, the Centre has broadened their mandate over the years and has recently added a "Techno/Ambient" genre to their catalogue);
