Artists’ multiples have been at the forefront of alternate means of artistic circulation and exchange for the last fifty years. Artists’ multiple production is frequently concerned with ideas of distributions, reception, value, and commerce, either to mimic, mock, or as an attempt to circumvent predominant economic systems entirely. Artists have frequently taken on the role of proprietor, retailing their works in stores, market stalls, and vending machines of their own design. Others have produced magazines, mail-order catalogues, and e-commerce sites in order to distribute works. Some have pegged the price of a multiple to value of gold while others have produced work to be given away. Reflecting these artistic considerations, the essays and interviews in One for Me and One to Share address artists’ multiples as a means for production, circulation, and reception. Featuring essays and interviews by Nicholas Brown, Mark Clintberg, Océan Delleaux, Dave Dyment, Gregory Elgstrand, Cary Leibowitz, Roula Partheniou, Harry Ruhé, and Jonathan Shaughnessy. Illustrated with over thirty-six colour reproductions of artists’ multiples by John Baldessari, Fionna Banner, Joseph Beuys, BGL, Barbara Bloom, George Brecht, Maurizio Cattelan & Ali Subotnick & Massimiliano Gioni, Marcel Dzama, Fluxus, FM3, Ken Friedman, General Idea, Marie-Ange Guilleminot, Martí Guixé, Jesse Harris, Jenny Holzer, Alice Hutchins, Miranda July, Germaine Koh, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Cary Leibowitz, Micah Lexier, George Maciunas, Piero Manzoni, Christian Marclay, Kelly Mark, Josephine Meckseper, N.E.

LIBBY HAGUE | BRAVE INTERVENTIONS Libby Hague: Be Brave! We are in this together (2012). Photo credit: Allan Kosmajac. As part of the YYreZidency program, Libby Hague has scheduled several interventions and performances to take place within her interactive installation: Be Brave! we are in this together; the anticipated super-energy combo of sculptural drama and live human performance. The interventions/performances are scheduled for Saturday afternoons from 1:00pm-3:00pm with open rehearsals happening any time during regular gallery hours. A variety of documentation will be made and presented as a small video series through the social media outlet YouTube. Find more information on Libby Hague's YYreZidency exhibition here. Every exhibition can provide a formal clarity and distance which furthers self understanding. Interventions are distancing filters, which connect us to another creative mind in the short window of our availability. The format layers rather than blends ideas so that each contributing flavour stays visible, distinct, and delicious.   -Libby Hague  SCHEDULE: MAY 26 | PHILIP ANISMAN: A READING FROM INFINITE JEST BY DAVID FOSTER WALLACE  Philip Anisman practices law, mainly securities law, in Toronto –most of the time- and has written legal books,, articles, and op-eds. He also reads literature sometimes aloud at Libby Hague’s shows.  May 26 is one of these times.
