As Guest Faculty of the Visual + Digital Art thematic residency ‘Blueprint for Happiness’ – a five week programme starting July 13 led by British artists Heather and Ivan Morison
– Latitudes will join the group in the middle two weeks of the
programme (27 July–7 August).

In Banff, Latitudes will lead a series of
focused workshops bringing forward a series of case studies
of (realised and unrealised) projects they have worked on as well as
focusing on a number of artists whose practice has dealt with issues
around public space in different geographical contexts.
Latitudes will also undertake studio visits with each of the 11 resident artists, participate in field trips and organise a closed-door evening film programme with films by Spanish artist Emilio Moreno, Irish artist Sean Lynch and Australian artist Nicholas Mangan. The three films share a focus on public sculptures, monuments or buildings that have been displaced from their original context.

Tuesday 28 July 2015, 16–17:30h: Public Lecture, Presentation of Latitudes’
curatorial practice as part of the Visual Art Lecture Series. Jeanne and
Peter Lougheed Building, 204. Free event.
For the Public Lecture Latitudes will forgo a chronological account of its projects of the last decade, and instead attempt various transects through its curatorial projects determined by raw materials and their transformation. From the zinc which led to an Esperanto micro-nation, to the air of a Beijing shopping centre, or the dead trees of printed news, Latitudes will try and join some traits and ideas around extractive modernity, obsolescence and the carbon cycle.

'Today' invitation card in the back of our entrance door.
We are delighted with the news that one of our two nominations – Annette Kelm (Stuttgart, 1975) – has been shortlisted for the Canadian Aimia | AGO Photography Prize.
As one of this year's 15 selectors, we were invited to put forward two artists names for inclusion on the long list, one artist from our country/region and one international. We selected Xavier Ribas (Barcelona, 1960) and Kelm.
Kelm and each of the shortlisted artist – Dave Jordano, Hito Steyerl and Owen Kydd – is awarded $5,000 and six-week residencies organised in partnership with cultural institutions across Canada.
Exhibitions of each of the four finalists will be presented from September 9, 2015, at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), and the public will be invited to cast a vote for their choice to win the $50,000 CAD prize. The awardee, entirely chosen by public vote, will be announced on December 1, 2015.
Annette Kelm's large colour prints express a research-based interest in cultural history and the history of photography. In Kelm’s hands, photography is not just a documentary tool, but an active, agitating, productive force,
wherein objects, textiles and people assume a sculptural identity. She is represented by Johann König (Berlin), Andrew Kreps Gallery (New York), Herald St (London), Marc Foxx (Los Angeles), Galerie Meyer Kainer (Vienna), Giò Marconi (Milan).

As announced on an earlier post, this Spring we celebrate our 10th Anniversary!
Many of you know of our love for tote bags – as we made it clear on one of our 2013 Venice biennale posts! Well, this time we have produced our very own totes: we are delighted to mark the special occasion by presenting limited editions of four specially commissioned silkscreened tote bags featuring designs by four artists with whom Latitudes has collaborated over the past decade: Lawrence Weiner (New York, 1942), Haegue Yang (Seoul, 1971), Ignasi Aballí (Barcelona, 1958) and Mariana Castillo Deball (Mexico City, 1975).
With the summer art calendar in mind, the bags are made from natural durable cotton canvas with a reinforced base. They feature a press-stud closure, an internal pocket with a zip (never loose your biennale pass again!), an adjustable shoulder strap, as well as smaller handles for carrying like a briefcase. Versatility from vaporetto to vernissage!
Each bag have been hand silkscreened in Print Workers, Barcelona; this is an artisanal process and each printing results in slight variations.
Place your order(s) from our website.
Launch Price: 45 Euros + delivery. After 1 June 2015: 50 Euros + delivery.
Edition: 35 + 5 A.P. (Haegue Yang's tote is ed. 20 + 10 AP)
Measurements: 38 high × 40 width × 14 base (in cm)
Fabric: 475 gsm natural chlorine-free cotton canvas
Strap: Adjustable
Capacity: 15 litres
Weight: 420 gr aprox.
