The book includes a detailed and insightful essay by former Winnipeg Art Gallery Chief Curator Helen Delacretaz. It retails for $10.00.

TOMORROW: Storytime launch

Join Gallery 1C03 at McNally Robinson Grant Park tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. for the launch of Storytime. Above is the front cover of the publication. It doesn't give much away so you'll have to drop by to see the goods in person, not to mention take in a performative reading by "Uncle Glennie" himself. See you there!

Storytime publication launch

Gallery 1C03 is pleased to partner with McNally Robinson Booksellers to launch our newest publication Storytime: Glen Johnson and Leslie Supnet. The launch will take place at McNally Robinson Grant Park location on June 20 at 7:00 p.m. It will include a performative reading by Johnson.

This handsomely illustrated 60 page publication documents the works created by writer/performance artist Johnson and visual artist/animator Supnet for their Storytime exhibition at Gallery 1C03 last fall. It features Johnson and Supnet's paired stories and drawings that replicate children's-style books but with a subtly adult tone. Storytime also includes a critical essay by Tom Kohut which employs Gertrude Stein's unit of composition to consider the unexpected trajectories of Johnson and Supnet's work.
