Short Stories
James Patten, Shawna Dempsey & Lorri Millan

An examination of the use of narrative in the work of five contemporary artists. Like a short story - which jumps right into the action, eschewing character development and social context - these works avoid linear narrative and incorporate references to history, popular fiction and news stories into more subjective tales of personal and collective memory. Participating artists include Landon Mackenzie, Marcel Dzama and Sara Hartland Rowe. Two curatorial essays are accompanied by an actual short story. Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan's written project, The Headless Woman and her Sword-Swallowing Man, is printed here for the first time.
