Mass Produced of a High Order: artists’ books by Ed Ruscha from the Canadian Centre for Architecture Collection
CCA Curator, Books, Viveca Pattison Robichaud, gives an online tour of a selection of artists’ books by Ed Ruscha from the CCA Collection.
What does Ruscha mean by a ‘high order?’ And how does one collect mass-production? The CCA has a nearly complete collection of Ruscha’s books, many of which engage with the built environment. Looking at the milieu in which they were created and collected, this talk will also present works heavily indebted to Ruscha’s contribution to the genre.

Since childhood, emerging artist Clara Congdon has been fascinated by practical and aesthetic applications of both cloth and paper. Within her practice she manipulates these everyday materials to create tactile repositories for thoughts, collections, and chronologies. In this one-hour talk, Congdon will speak about a selection of her projects that have incorporated textiles with bookmaking, ranging from installation to zine publishing to a single edition cloth artist’s book.

Jim Holyoak: Artist talk
Jim Holyoak will present his handmade artists’ books and sketchbooks in relation to hiking, which allows him to draw in-situ and source images and stories from within the landscapes. He will present his Book of Nineteen Nocturnes, a nineteen volume, fully hand drawn and handmade collection of accordion books containing graphite drawings, watercolours, ink paintings, and collaged text. “Echoing the genres of painterly and musical nocturnes, this book is driven by its ambient, nighttime setting – a realm populated by wandering monsters. It is about being lost, lonely and homesick. While relating to graphic novels and illustrated fairy tales, this book is also akin to an illuminated manuscript or a grimoire.”
