Description
This publication accompanied an exhibition of art by thirteen Kelowna-based artists who have developmental disabilities. It was organized by guest curator Sara Lige, who wrote the main text and conducted an interview (also published) with University of British Columbia, Okanagan campus art history professor, Carolyn MacHardy. The texts have been edited so that they are written in plain language. All artists have their photograph reproduced, as well as a large reproduction of their work, accompanied by the artist's biographical information and statement. There are also colour installation photographs of the exhibition. Each artist had a painting installed, as well as an old chair and pair of shoes they had selected and painted on. This catalogue provides a good introductory look both at the field of and issues related to developmentally disabled adults who are visual artists.
