In the central work discussed here four screens lean against the wall with images, both black and white and CGI, flowing one into the other. By conjoining images, the artist is attempting to create a hybrid space - asking the viewer to focus their attention on the nature of the images themselves. In a related work, Jones produces stereograms - images that allow us to see in three dimensions without the use of external visual aids. Published in collaboration with Rodman Hall Art Centre, Thames Art Gallery and The Reach Gallery Museum.</p><p><strong>Product Information</strong><br />Author(s): Linda Jansma, Chris Gehman and Stuart Reid<br />Publisher(s):&nbsp;The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Rodman Hall Art Centre, Thames Art Gallery and The Reach Gallery Museum<br />Year: 2012<br />ISBN: 978-1-926589-77-0<br />Pages: 68 pp<br />Illustrations: Colour<br />Dimensions: 9 x 8 in softcover<br />Availability: In stock</p> [2]

Best friends at the age of 5, Patterson lost touch with Yuki once his friend returned to Japan four years later. Through sculptural installation and stop-motion video, puppets of Patterson and Yuki as teenagers engage in a fictional match in a high school gymnasium. A conflation of personal experience and emotional memory, the installation recreates and plays with Patterson&rsquo;s memories of his first best friend, exploring boyhood rivalry and the bonds of friendship.</span></p><p><strong>Product Information</strong><br />Author(s): Shirley Madill<br />Publisher(s): Rodman Hall Art Centre/Brock University<br />Year: 2011<br />ISBN: 978-0-9864955-2-6<br />Pages: 12 pp<br />Illustrations: Colour<br />Dimensions: DVD 5 x 5 inches softcover<br />Availability: In stock</p> [5]

Beginning on the first Monday of 2011, four objects are displayed in the gallery&rsquo;s project space, which has been converted, per Lexier&rsquo;s specifications, into a custom-built vitrine. Each Monday, one object is removed and replaced by another object drawn from Lexier&rsquo;s personal collection of everyday items. After fifty-two objects have cycled through the installation, three of the four objects presented during the first week are reintroduced, one per week, during the last three weeks of the installation. The project concludes on the first Sunday of 2012 with a display that is one move away from the first, creating a complete loop that brings the project back to its beginning.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 1em; color: rgb(88, 88, 88); line-height: 1.6em; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This bookwork is a size-as reproduction of all fifty-two one-week displays. The size of the book relates to the display surface in the vitrine, and each week is represented by three consecutive double-page spreads. The book was designed as a stand-in for the exhibition, but it also stands alone.</span><br />&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Product Information</strong><br />Author(s): Marcie Bronson &amp; Micah Lexier<br />Publisher(s): Rodman Hall Art Centre/Brock University<br />Year: 2011<br />ISBN: 978-0-9864955-3-3<br />Pages: 320 pp<br />Illustrations: Black &amp;&nbsp;White<br />Dimensions: 12 x 9 inches softcover<br />Availability: In stock</p> [6]

Bozic's character's dates a male mannequin and, through her photographs, we follow the couple from courtship and meeting the family to intimacy. Bozic reflects on consumer society's pursuit of happiness and the good life while referencing the internet dating phenomenon by staging dates with someone a little bit &quot;different.&quot; Her project merges the optimism of movie-star promotional photographs with questions about both the tradition of courtship and its current state. Two essays elucidate her practice.</span></p><p><strong>Product Information</strong><br />Author(s): Gordon Hatt &amp; Bill Jeffries<br />Publisher(s): Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Rodman Hall Art Centre/Brock University &amp; Simon Fraser University Gallery<br />Year: 2008<br />ISBN: 978-1-894699-39-6<br />Pages: 64<br />Illustrations: Colour<br />Dimensions: 10 x 8 inches softcover<br />Availability: In stock</p> [11]
