THE NORTH END (2007)

Folder made for The North End Toronto exhibition at Art Metropole. 

The North End is an archive of 600 posters scavenged in this Halifax neighbourhood from July 2005 - July 2007. It was first exhibited at the Emerson Gallery, Berlin, in 2006 to showcase the wide ranging cultural activities of a small East Coast city in Canada. 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.
