Book Launch: Genres High and Low: Writings on Art by Philip Monk

Join Goose Lane Editions, WORK BOOK, and National Gallery of Canada for the launch of Philip Monk’s new book Genres High and Low: Writings on Art, a collection spanning the past thirty years.
The book includes essays on Canadian and international artists, the American avant-garde and underground culture of the 1960s and 1970s, and the origins of the downtown Toronto art scene in the late 1970s and the 1980s. Monk also explores new ways of thinking about history, archives and curating.
The launch is presented in conjunction with the opening of the Library and Archives exhibition Making It Explicit: Social Rules and Self-Negation in Art. This event also features a talk by Monk which will be followed by a book signing, with copies of Genres High and Low for sale in the Library and Archives Reading Room.
