ONE
Carolee Schneemanns artists book Czanne, She Was a Great Painter was originally printed in three editions in 1974, 1975 and 1976.
The book compiles Schneemanns writings from the 1960s and 70s: letters and unsent letters, fragments from notebooks, manifesto-like statements, and performance scripts including that from her renowned 1975 piece, Interior Scroll. Though best known for her performances, Schneemann has always identified as a painter, and the title comes from her early interest in Czanne. She writes, in the books introduction: "Around twelve years old I knew a few names of 'great artists.' . . . I decided a painter named 'Czanne' would be my mascot; I would assume Czanne was unquestionably a woAman." In the context of the current exhibition Dear Carolee: Carolee Schneemann in Letters, Kunstverein Toronto has re-published Czanne in a new edition of 250.

TWO
Liberated from the delivery system, the review is freed of content.
Reception and aesthetic judgement are not absolute, but reflexive and co-directional; the process engaged between subject and two or more viewers is conversational rather than evaluative. While aesthetic judgement remains part of a larger sphere, the conversation is not relegated to subjective agreements on the value of the art object, but rather engaged in a dialogue alongside the discursive edge of the work in question. Rearviews challenges critical writing practices by assigning critical authority to artists through the gradual elimination of the subject of critique.
Rosa Aiello, Patricia Lennox-Boyd, David Court, Carl Wilson, Sam Cotter, Chris Hosea, Tess Edmonson, Michael Eddy, Craig Leonard, Maryse Lariviere, Shane Krepakevich and Peta Rake.
