Talk and Tour: Vincent Bonin on Vikky Alexander

Join visiting author and independent curator Vincent Bonin for a talk and tour of the exhibition Vikky Alexander: Extreme Beauty.

Bonin will expand on his essay “Vikky Alexander: Beyond the Seduction of Enclosures,” published in the accompanying exhibition catalogue, and offer close readings of Alexander’s work as it is emerges from minimalism and seeks to investigate the relationship between mass media and architectural enclosures of consumption.

Vincent Bonin has produced various multi-faceted projects, including a touring survey exhibition of the work of Geneviève Cadieux in 2015, and Response, a dialogue in the form of an exhibition with the French philosopher Catherine Malabou, in 2016. In 2012, he also co-curated the Montreal section of the exhibition Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965–1980, presented across Canada and at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Besides his research on Conceptual art practices in the 1960s and ‘70s, Bonin is interested in the social significance of archives and in the renewal of documentation practices in the contemporary art domain. He currently lives and works in Montréal.
