Inner/Outer Space
Now in its eighth iteration, the Eyelevel Reshelving Initiative is Eyelevel’s biennial exhibition of artist’s books, multiples, and printed matter. This year’s theme INNER / OUTER SPACE has brought together a group of 40 new artists along side many others from Eyelevel’s archive to consider the mobile and site-responsive nature of printed matter. The exhibition exists both inside and outside of Eyelevel’s new physical home at 100-5663 Cornwallis, where an installation and all related programming will be hosted. A map of ERI:8's off-site locations has been drawn by designer Daniel Lurvey and has been made available at Eyelevel and venues across the city. The map leads to venues such as The Craig Gallery, the One Block Barbershop, South House and more, each hosting a unique selection of ERI:8's artists.
