Zin Taylor
The Story of Stripes and Dots
2013–2014 Fogo Island Arts Exhibition
© Steffen Jagenburg
Sept 27, 2013 to Mar 23, 2014
Taylor’s exhibition at the Fogo Island Gallery follows on from his two-part residency with Fogo Island Arts in 2010 and 2012. The artist conceives his sculptural components — stripes and dots in many variations — as words in a sentence, the articulation of which can be ongoing.
Curator: Nicolaus Schafhausen
Artist: Zin Taylor
(born 1978, Canada) is an artist based in Brussels, Belgium. “Thoughts about a subject, turned into forms about a subject” is how Taylor describes his approach to — and use of — environments as material for sculpture and thinking. Taylor has presented solo exhibitions throughout Europe and North America. His writing and artist books have been published by Sternberg Press (Berlin), Bywater Bros. Editions (Port Colborne), Mousse Publishing (Milan), and Artforum (New York). He is represented by Jessica Bradley Gallery (Toronto) and Supportico Lopez (Berlin).
Lichen Voices/Stripes and Dots
The publication accompanies Taylor’s exhibition “The Story of Stripes and Dots (Chapter 5)” at Fogo Island Gallery (September 27, 2013–March 23, 2014), which follows his two-part residency with Fogo Island Arts in 2010 and 2012. Featuring essays by Zoë Gray and Saelan Twerdy, and Taylor in conversation with Patrick Staff and Robin Simpson, the book also presents the artist’s portfolio An Index Describing the Individual 19 Thoughts about Stripes and Dots Arranged on a Vitrine Made of Brass and Glass.
