Douglas costa clip Alongside his celebrated status as author of 13 bestselling novels including his seminal debut Generation X Tales for an Accelerated Culture Coupland output has taken on the commitment of a true multidisciplinarian graduating in 1985 from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design Vancouver before furthering his aesthetic studies at the Hokkaido College of Art and Design in Japan as well as the Sapporo Instituto Europeo di Design Milan After concentrating on his literary works for the entire 1990s Coupland returned to his dormant artistic practice at the turn of the century exhibiting his work in many solo and collective exhibitions internationally During the last decade and a half he has also diversified further emboldening his body of work within non fiction film and television as well as foraying into fashion design. Douglas Coupland Curating art Leading from a multidisciplinary background it would be expected that his work would follow the diverse and multi media trajectory that it does focusing on an equally broad spread of personal themes from a fascination with the corruptive desirability of popular culture to the intrigue of military imagery resulting from Coupland s childhood in such a family unit at the height of the Cold War Intended as the definitive document of Coupland s artistic career the book will include reproductions of all the major series within his work alongside his most recent output and images of the installations within the exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery Douglas Coupland everywhere is anywhere is anything is everythingJust marvellous 1908966521 I went to see Coupland talk about this and in his own words it s a catalogue for an exhibition It s nice to get down off the high shelf once in a while and become immersed in Doug 1908966521 This is a good companion to the exhibition I just went to in Toronto at ROM and MOCCA 1908966521 Love the cover art but I think that Douglas Coupland is a better writer than a visual artist He relies heavily on found art objects Where s the work in that Don t get me wrong he is a genius observer of culture 1908966521 Inspiring and beautiful 1908966521
Bad taste is real taste and good taste is the residue of someone else s privilege 1908966521.
