3/20/2014 014_READ [RED]014_READ (past tense: rĕd) is a collection of favourite books of Winnipeg MAKERS. The exhibition is intended to introduce these MAKERS through a medium that they have touched and, in turn, been touched-by. The books invite us to the space-time that the MAKERS once occupied, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The marks on the pages (notations, lines, sketches, folds, tears, smears, stains, and so on), together with the printed words, offer traces of the imaginative journey that the MAKERS underwent, offering us an opportunity to reflect on our acts of ‘reading’. Embedded somewhere in the midst of the weight of the paper is the scent of the ink, the personality of the text, and the act of our hand.
