A man in a darkened workshop, surrounded and obscured by dust
clouds. A pair of larger-than-life hands, holding a mallet, ready
to strike. Spectacles that play with the idea of turning lies into
truth and cynics into believers. A cinder block, precariously
suspended above a fragile glass, held in place by a single line of
tension. Welcome to John Greer: retroActive.Sculptor, conceptual
artist, and unconventional art maker John Greer has been telling
stories through his work for more than fifty years. Drawing on his
present and past experiences, his travels and exploits, and his
anxieties and fears, his work offers poignant meditations on the
human environment, all the while challenging the viewer's
perspective with humour, intelligence, and a trail of
narrative.RetroActive offers a comprehensive view of Greer's work
and his commitment to the discourse of sculpture. Stunningly
designed by Susanne Schaal and featuring the photographs of Raoul
Manuel Schnell, the book contains more than three hundred
representations of Greer and his work - in situ, in galleries, in
process - bringing into focus Greer's significant contributions to
the world of art and ideas. Also included in the book are essays by
Ray Cronin, Andria Minicucci, Dennis Reid, Ron Shuebrook, David
Diviney, Sarah Fillmore, and Vanessa Paschakarnis.John Greer taught
at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design for almost three
decades, where his thinking and teaching helped shape contemporary
sculpture in Canada. His work has been included in more than fifty
solo and sixty group exhibitions and is held in public and private
collections around the globe. In 2009 Greer was the recipient of
the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts, Canada's
highest distinction in the field of art and culture.
