Creamier rises to the top: Vancouver contributes to top 100 emerging artists
It’s official: Vancouver artists are among the cream of the crop.
A new book on 100 emerging contemporary artists from around the world includes three artists who live and work in Vancouver, and will have its global launch here this Saturday.
Geoffrey Farmer, Ron Terada and Althea Thauberger are the only artists living in Canada chosen for Creamier: Contemporary Art in Culture. Creamier is the fifth in a series of art books by the international publishing company Phaidon Press. Every few years since 1998, Phaidon has selected 10 international curators to choose 100 emerging contemporary artists.
Phaidon is launching Creamier on Saturday morning at the Vancity Theatre during Canadian Art Gallery Hop. With a July release date, Creamier won’t be available at the launch, but advance copies will be on hand for people to browse, along with information on how to pre-order a copy. Designed to resemble a broadsheet newspaper in its own box, it’s priced at $45.
