Lisa Robertson: The Baudelaire Fractal

Writer

Lisa Robertson

Time

7-8:30

Join Coach House Books, Art Metropole, and Canadian Art in Toronto on January 17th to celebrate the launch of Lisa Robertson’s debut novel The Baudelaire Fractal and the Winter 2020 issue of Canadian Art, which features an advance excerpt from the novel.

Lisa Robertson will give a reading from the novel, and will appear in conversation with Yaniya Lee, Features Editor at Canadian Art.

Canadian Art’s Winter 2020 issue, themed “Antimatter,” is about artists making object-based work in a world already full of things, material practices, science-based collaborations, and things that aren’t traditionally understood as art, becoming art.

Doors 7pm
Reading and Conversation 730pm

The event will take place at Clouds & Horizon, Art Metropole’s shop in MOCA (158 Sterling Road).

FREE

Books will be available for sale at the event, and afterward in store and online at artmetropole.com.
