Artist-Talk

The Or Gallery and Fillip are pleased to co-present a talk with Brooklyn-based artist
David Horvitz.

A prolific, and incredibly diverse artist, Horvitz’s practice incorporates photography, publishing, performance, and mail art, often through collaboration with friends and strangers. Many of his projects are completed through ASDF, a collaborative entity formed Mylinh Trieu Nguyen in 2007. Recent projects have included The Wikipedia Reader (2008–09), One Hundred $1 Grants (2009), and Songs for the Arctic Ocean (2009).

Following up on his visit to Vancouver last spring, Horvitz will present recent and upcoming projects, including Drugstore Beetle (Sitodrepa Paniceum), a bound exhibition set containing works of 27 artists that were mailed out as gifts to various international libraries. This project operates through a sense of generosity and open distribution that are at the forefront of his practice.
