Sources

I've started a list for potential sources. freshacconci talk to me 17:01, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Review in esse: [1].
Book: Lisa Robertson. The chatter of culture : Lorna Brown, Robyn Laba, Lisa Robertson & David Zink Yi. Vancouver: Artspeak, 2008.

This one is tricky. It's a book about Brown (and others) by Lisa Robertson but it's published by Artspeak, where Brown worked. And I believe the work in question was exhibited. This is unfortunately not uncommon in Canada. Two few writers and publishers mean artists may have some affiliation. I had the same problem with the artist-run centre YYZ in Toronto. I believe the article was deleted and it was mainly because any useful sources were books published by YYZ Books, a quasi-separate entity. We have to assume good faith and conclude that the book has editorial autonomy and was not meant as a promotional and marketing venture and this book can be used to verify certain facts. freshacconci talk to me 17:18, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for starting this list. I'm going to spend some time at the University Library tomorrow with Lorna Brown's artist file which has a number of sources that are not available online. I'm finding that this is one of the challenges with documenting someone's career when it began pre-internet. I've looked at a print copy of The Chatter of Culture which has an essay by Brown. This exhibition took place four years after Brown left Artspeak so this text comes out of her role as an exhibiting artist not an employee of the centre. Artist run-centres by their very definition blur the lines between artists, writers and art workers, but remain an important forum for artistic acknowledgement and career development, particularly in Canada. More to come... and many thanksMainStreetStudio (talk) 02:27, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
