Alex Morrison: Phantoms of a Utopian Will / Like Most Follies, More Than a Joke and More Than a Whim

'Alex Morrison: Phantoms of a Utopian Will / Like Most Follies, More Than a Joke and More Than a Whim' is a collaborative endeavor between SFU Gallery and the Burnaby Art Gallery.
This catalogue includes a curatorial introduction, an interview with the artist by Denise Ryner and a commissioned text by Andrew Bernardini.

In envisioning a collaborative project between Simon Fraser University Gallery and the Burnaby Art Gallery, it was imperative to find a focus that addressed the entwined spatial and social contexts of both sites. In his long-standing artistic interrogation into built environments and their cultural inhabitation, Alex Morrison's work teases out the aesthetic, structural and political links between SFU Gallery and the BAG. 'Phantoms of a Utopian Will/ Like Most Follies, More Than a Joke and More Than a Whim' are tandem exhibitions that include commissioned projects among other works by the artist, as well as works selected by Morrison from the two institutions' respective collections.
