Inquiries

I’m sure there are lots of people who, after seeing this work, would like to experience it too. But it is in Saskatoon, Canada. Can it indeed become a traveling show?


Yes! Remai Modern’s Chief Curator, Michelle Jacques, is currently working hard to make this happen. For more information about the show or to receive a book, please reach out to Michelle at curatorial@remaimodern.org.

We began Journal of the Plague Year(s) in our shared Saskatoon studio in 2020 and continued to develop it as we moved to six different artist residencies and exhibition spaces. We are happy to talk about all aspects of the project, including its history, the process of turning news into art, the joys and pitfalls of collaboration, working with recycled materials, and exhibiting activist artwork.
