Erik Edson
Other Stories
Sackville, Canada: Owens Art Gallery, 2018
53 pp., 19 x 24 cm., softcover
Edition size unknown
An exhibition catalogue for Erik Edson’s solo show of the same name, from 2017, co-produced by the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in P.E.I., and the Owens Art Gallery.
Other Stories presented a large-scale installation accompanied by smaller works spanning two decades of the artist’s practice. Still rooted in Edson’s longstanding printmaking practice, the works expand into sculpture and installation, informed by his original medium.
The volume includes notes by curator Pan Wendt, the essay “On the Nature of Artifice” by Emily Falvey, a forward by Gemey Kelly, and an afterword by Kevin Rice. A detailed list of works closes out the title.
The book’s cover features a die-cut circle, square and rectangle, referencing an architectural structure from the exhibition.
“Printmaker and installation artist Erik Edson is known work that explores the paradoxical space between art and the natural world. [...] Aptly tired, ruins (2017) combines printmaking techniques with those of mural painting, set design, and installation art, and incldudes a wide range of art-historical and pop-cultural references. Subtly interweaving diverse artistic styles and aesthetic categories, such as the picturesque, the fantastic, and the surreal, it brilliantly maps our connections between landscape art, capitalist visual regimes, spectatorship technologies [magic lanterns, panoramas, mis en scene], the history of European ornament, and the commodity form.”
- Emily Falvey
I strongly believe my experience will save lives. Before working with HACK WEST AT WRITEME DOT COM, my credit score was at 472. I applied for a loan from Metro Credit Union and I was told to pay my debt to Wells Fargo Bank first which was about $19,300. At that time my credit report wasn’t good with red marks all over it. Also had a couple of charge-offs, student loans and judgements. The credit bureaus told me I had about 6 negative items and 8 hard inquiries. I went searching for a solution, and fortunately I dabbled into HACK WEST on a blog. Initially, I was pessimistic but out of determination and curiosity, I contacted him via the above email. He explained the processes needed to repair my credit. Good news! My FICO now is 788, all negative items on my report have been eliminated, student loans paid off and positive trade lines added to my credit. I paid nothing to Wells Fargo to get these awesome results. All these happened within 7 days. It’s really so Amazing!!!
