Hannah Rickards

We are pleased to announce our latest installment of CAG Reads, a book club where artists invite us to read alongside them. Each month an artist proposes a text for our collective reading pleasure, culminating in a virtual hangout where the artist leads a wide-ranging discussion grounded in their chosen reading material. 

This month, CAG Reads will be hosted by Hannah Rickards. Hannah has compiled a series of short texts on remote viewing and perception, including selections from *Limitless Mind: A Guide to Remote Viewing and Transformations of Consciousness* (2004) by Russell Targ, “Funes the Memorius” (1954) by Jorge Luis Borges, and excerpts on visualization from Robert Ashley’s *Yes, But Is It Edible?* (2014), John McPhee’s *The Pine Barrens* (1967) and Stanislaw Lem’s Solaris (1961). All texts will be provided to participants upon registration. 

Rickards’ interdisciplinary practice explores the fluxive, non-linear dynamic between site, gesture, staging, and recording integrating elements of the language of performance, film, sound, drawing, and installation. Rickards’ solo exhibitions include the Polygon Gallery, Vancouver; Modern Art Oxford, UK; the Fogo Island Gallery, Newfoundland; and Whitechapel Gallery, London. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; the Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton; ICA, London; Witte de With, Rotterdam, and in the Hayward Gallery’s touring exhibition *Listening*. She received the Max Mara Art Prize for Women in 2008; was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Visual and Performing Arts in 2015; and in 2018 she was the recipient of the Nigel Greenwood Art Prize. Hannah lives and works in Vancouver.
