Join us for an in-conversation event and signing to celebrate the launch of *Page 10*, a new artist book by Vancouver artist Robert Kleyn published with Gevaert Editions, Brussels. Influenced by early 1970’s Conceptualism, *Page 10* is a meditation on the experience of reading, and continues Kleyn’s longstanding concern with seriality, self-referentiality and authorship. As part of the event, Kleyn will perform an homage to Italian Arte Povera artist Emilio Prini.

The *Page 10* book launch is presented as part of Vancouver Art Book Week.

Publication Launch

Vancouver artist Robert Kleyn will exhibit new sculptures at the Contemporary Art Gallery from October 12 – November 10. Kleyn left Vancouver in 1975 for Rome, later spending several years in New York. He returned to Vancouver in 1987. In addition to his work as an artist, Kleyn is actively involved in architecture and writing. The work he will be showing at CAG contains references to all three areas.

The objects included in the *12 Sculptures* evolve from forms commonly found in the built world, much like the minimalism of the 1960s. They are modeled from commonly available materials. Kleyn’s use of sensuous colour and texture distances these works from their formalist predecessors.
