Origins
Description:
Origins accompanied Al Neil’s solo exhibition at Western Front in 1989 titled Origins: Celtic Series.
The catalogue includes a text by Neil, and essays by exhibition curator Annette Hurtig, Alex Varty, and Scott Watson which provide a survey of the artist and musician’s life and practice in Vancouver’s avant-garde.
The catalogue also contains eight full-colour plates selected from Neil’s Origins: Celtic Series collages, and photo documentation of past performances taken by Stan Douglas.
