New Vancouver art book reminds of the importance of support networks

The new art book What Are Our Supports? co-edited by Joni Low and art historian Jeff O’Brien sets out to remind readers of the importance of support networks and how human care and simple gestures can transform art and the world beyond.

The anthology will have an official launch event at SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts on Jan. 21, 2 p.m. The event will include presentations and Q&As with contributors.

Low and O’Brien took the time to answer a few questions from Postmedia.

Q: This book grew out of the 2018 public space series What Are Our Supports? (WAOS) What was the brief/request made to the five artist groups chosen to be a part of this?
