A perfect set of three found books that @stoppingoffplace gave me a few years ago. Purchased at the annual Winnipeg Children’s Hospital Book Market.

I’m thrilled to add this book by Joseph Kosuth to my collection - “DEFINED: A BOOK LOCATED IN TWO LANGUAGES, SIGNED, DATED, NUMBERED AND RE-USED” uses a rubber stamp to reclassify an existing bilingual dictionary as an artwork. This book is part of an edition of twelve identical dictionaries, where the stamp and Kosuth’s additions in pencil, appear on the front endpaper of a 1986 edition of a Spanish/Catalan dictionary. Artists “claiming” a found book as their own, through subtle interventions like the addition of a sticker, rubber stamp or signature, is one of my favourite categories. This one’s a beaut.

I’m very happy to announce that I’m making a big new public artwork for the @mnpsportcentre in Calgary and I need your help. My project, A Bigger Splash, consists of a graphic depiction of a big splash, in which a wide variety of (surprising) objects have been displaced into the air. And I’m soliciting your suggestions of just what these objects could be. They can be related or unrelated to a sports centre. They can be something meaningful to you. They can be whatever you want to immortalize. Please go to @mnpobjects to send your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I made a new vitrine display for @philip.ocampo’s exhibition “Kind Of / Sort Of” at @mkg127. The vitrine display, entitled “Found Things, Made Things” (a nod to the exhibition title) includes 13 found things and 13 made things. In addition, I showed a few works from the 2011 “Things Exist” series including Example No. 24/25 (images 6/7) and Example No.12 (images 8/9). Photos by Toni Hafkenscheid.

@brodyalbert Spare Keys (Shore line from California to Chiapas), 2017, 8 water-jet cut keys, key rings, edition 4/10. Brody wrote me a couple weeks ago after seeing my post about @galenasmart’s key multiple. There’s a nice resonance between the two projects and the connection between driving and topography is a strong one.

The very talented @norman__wong came over yesterday to take some photos of me and Minnow and our house. Here’s a couple favourites. The first is me holding a key by @cplanth and the second is me holding a knife by @stoppingoffplace. Thanks Norm.

Sneak peak of a new public project I’m working on with @lnaftolin. These are some hole location tests. I love all the working drawings that are generated when putting together a big project like this. I’ll tell you more about the project when it becomes public.

Here’s a little report and some images from the opening days of my project “One Day” that started this past weekend as part of the @torontooutdoorart Art Nest exhibition curated by @pimenta.rui For the many of you who asked, I gave away exactly 3,988 coins during the three-day Fair. That means I have the rest of my life to give away the remaining 19,992 coins. More on that later. (Please don’t write me requesting a coin just yet.) In the meantime, here are some pics from the weekend including (1) handing over the first coin to superstar executive director @anahitaazrahimi , (8) a coin in the hand of my 4yo pal Ramona, and (9) riding my bike to and from the fair and being stopped numerous times by people in the bike lane asking for a coin. It was a truly memorable weekend and I want to sincerely thank my fellow artists, and all the staff and volunteers who helped me out. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of you. I especially want to thank Rui, Anahita, Calder and Layne. And thanks to my friends who specifically came to visit me and everyone who requested a coin, asked questions, found me in the crowd, talked with me about the project, and shared a memory. It was intense, overwhelming and invigorating. Some takeaways include 1) being reminded once again not to judge a book by its cover, and 2) that the kids are alright. I was heartened that so many kids really got the project, including some very young kids. It was deeply satisfying and I’m still processing the experience.

Today’s uniform (blue) for the third and final day of “One Day” my project for Art Nest, the exhibition at the @torontooutdoorart, curated by @pimenta.rui. I have custom-minted one coin for every day that I have lived, up to the start of the project (July 10, 2026). At 10 am Friday I started giving away the coins, one to each person I met. I will continue to do this after the fair, until all the coins have been given away. If I die before I give away all the coins, the remaining coins will be kept together and will constitute my final artwork. The exhibition is being presented on the occasion of the Art Fair’s 65th Anniversary. We were asked to respond to the significance of being 65 and its corollary theme of retirement. I turned 65 this year as well so I conflated the two birthdays making an artwork about myself and the Fair. Ps. For those of you not in Toronto this weekend, I will be doing a version where I will be mailing them out to people. I will post more about it on here, when I’m set up and ready to send out.
