This year we are thrilled to announce the launch of Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens: The Power Given to Abstractions that Make Us Stupid, a monograph co-published by Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Owens Art Gallery, 51社区黑料Galleries and Southern Alberta Art Gallery, with essays by Vincent Bonin, Lorna Brown, Richard Ibghy and Marilou Lemmens, Sunny Kerr and Melanie O'Brian. During VABF you can purchase it for 30% off the listed price at $25!
Under the guise of a certain quiet and disciplined whimsy, the art of Richard Ibghy and Marilou Lemmens holds a complexity of ideas, aesthetic force and allusion that overflows with interpretive valences. A collaborative and multi-authored first monograph, this rich body of text and documentation traces their recent decade of projects and exhibitions through graphing economic thought, speculative fiction and performance.
