Lost & Found Market: A Project Space Fundraiser
Call for donations of gently loved used or vintage goods
Drop off Sundays in April (14, 21, 28) or by appointment 

After a good spring cleaning, what do you do with the things you almost can’t bear to get rid of?

Project Space is seeking your gently loved vintage or well-made clothing, housewares, dishes, furniture, books, artworks or houseplants, which Michael Lee and Sonja Farrell will curate and arrange into a month-long pop-up shop from May 10 to June 2, 2013. All proceeds from the sale will support Project Space’s upcoming redesign in Summer 2013 and any unused or leftover donations will be passed on to another community organization.

Drop-offs will be accepted on Sundays in April (14, 21, 28) or by emailing info@projectspace.ca to set up an appointment.

AD/JUST: Exhibition / Launch of Artists’ Books

Works by Jackie Riccio and Zack Ingram
Reception: Friday, April 5 at 8pm
Exhibition: April 4-7, 1pm to 5pm

AD/JUST is a three-day installation and pair of artists’ books by Baltimore artists Jackie Riccio and Zack Ingram. The project features site-specific works on paper that explore the artists’ opposing mechanisms of readjustment and assimilation after moving to a new environment. While Ingram’s works will focus on a recognition of absence and looking to the past, Riccio’s will act as an attempt to fill this void with something new in the present. Each will also produce a book that extends the project’s inquiry into our personal relationships with space and geographic location.

The New Archive Project by leannej
Deadline: Ongoing from October 5 to November 17
Closing Party and archive wrap-up: November 18 at 8pm

How to submit
You may submit work directly to Project Space, either in person during our open hours (emailing ahead to let us know is recommended) or by mail or email.

Project Description
As part of her interaction with the archive in the Wandering Art Metropole Publications and Ephemera Archive: Part 2, leannej invites artists to submit two-dimensional work to The New Archive Project throughout the exhibition (October 5 – November 17). The Wandering Archive features back issues and other materials from FILE Megazine—an art magazine published by Art Metropole from 1972 and 1986—which will be on display at Project Space. Artists are encouraged to reference the history of FILE and the ground-breaking work of General Idea when creating new archive materials and are also asked to consider the role of the archive as a means of cataloguing history. The New Archive materials will be displayed alongside the original archive materials throughout the exhibition. After the Wandering Archive travels to its next location, the new archive will be catalogued and stored in Vancouver.
