The North End Berlin (2006)
The North End is an archive of 600 posters scavenged in this Halifax neighbourhood from July 2005 - July 2007. It was first exhibited at Emerson Gallery, Berlin, in 2006 to showcase the wide ranging cultural activities of a small East Coast city in Canada. It was exhibited again at Art Metropole a year later.
The North End book (2006) and The North End: Vol. II (2007) are each in a limited edition of 10 signed and numbered copies, with full-page poster reproductions arranged in chronological order, black and white or colour depending on the original. Each book opens with a permission poster listing the names of individuals, groups and organizations found on its pages. The edition includes three cloth-bound box sets containing both volumes. There are 32 American Apparel t-shirts printed by the Ink Storm Silkscreen Collective, Halifax. Thanks to all the poster-makers in North End Halifax.
Book available at Art Metropole.
