Just finished co-curating OneLine, a solo show for my enormously talented friend Satoko Naito (Rico) at the Jasper Art Gallery. Using accordion-style blank books, Rico deftly captures everyday scenes in pen and ink using one contiguous line. The books are then meticulously packaged in handpainted boxes. We suspended some of these from the ceiling structure at the Jasper Art Gallery and lined the perimeter walls with framed prints. Slick vinyl graphics and extended labels complete the installation. A young, enthusiastic crowd of 140 many of whom were captured in the displayed artwork thronged the gallery on opening night. The show continues until May 11.
