Christian Newby

Bio:

Christian Newby is an artist based in Vancouver, Canada whose practice is concerned with the activities of assemblage and re-assemblage, and the capturing of key moments within this interchange. A two-fold approach of production and publishing offers a speculative and sideways glance at how artistic ideas and voices manifest—a procedural inventory of technologies, instructions, travelogues, concrete poetry, anecdotes, reflections on failure, protest, lists, carpet drawings, comics, diagrams, reading aloud, the flipping of pages, collages, and field note diaries. Newby’s art and research practice imagines textiles as documents, necklaces as architecture, pencils as speakers, and newspapers as an account of muscle ache, travel, myopia, flowers, and mutation.
