Brand New Website & Mobile Gallery

We've been very busy working on a couple of new projects. In fact we had to build a new website to combine everything into one platform.

We're excited to announce a new mobile art gallery called OuterSpace. OuterSpace will be an extension of our publishing platform, allowing us to have book launches, exhibitions and pop-up shops on the West Coast. For our first exhibition we selected the multifaceted artist James Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick produced an exhibition of paintings, a circuit bent electronic instrument and painted a mural on the side of the OuterSpace truck. View the artwork from the exhibition.

A second project that is now coming together is an artbook series entitled "Lineage Editions"We showcased a prototype of our first publication at the opening of Kirkpatrick's exhibition.

The goal of the Lineage book series is to showcase artists in their work and daily environment. The photographic heavy publication will shed light on the artists process and way of life while producing a body of work. Utilizing snapshots, sketches, and snippets all mixed in with artworks in process. 

Four artists are chosen to begin the series. Each artist is designated a colour (blue, green, red or yellow). These colours become a lineage throughout the series. Once the book has been completed the published artist then selects the next artist who's work will be showcased in the following book. This book will fall under the same lineage or colour as the previous artist.

 This series is hand-bound with a die-cut cover and limited to an edition of 50. Available in our online shop very soon.
