[more]Lance Blomgren is a Canadian writer and artist whose publication projects and text-installations share an ongoing fascination with the relationships between language and social architecture, writing and formulations of place. A number of recent projects seek to unearth the narrative potential of unrelated images, found texts, advertisements, lists and other ‘non productive’ modes of writing and visual communication. He is the author of two books, both published by Conundrum Press: Walkups, a novella, and Corner Pieces, a collection of fiction, images and urban proposals. His writings have appeared internationally in dozens of periodicals, anthologies and exhibition publications, including most recently Art Asia Pacific, Fillip, Geist and in Informal Architectures: Space and Contemporary Culture (Black Dog Publishing, 2008). Walkups was published in French by Editions Adage (Montreal) and Editions Maelstrom (Brussels). An expanded new printing of the novella was released in 2009. His projects have been staged at Sox36 (Berlin), Galeria ADN (Barcelona), Sky’s the Limit (Las Cruces, New Mexico), Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery (Montreal), Queensland University of Technology (Brisbane), the Liane and Danny Taran Gallery (Montreal), Dare Dare Centre de diffusion d’art multidisciplinaire de Montréal, Usine C (Montreal), the Banff Centre (Banff, Alberta) and 536 (Vancouver).
