Library is a collection of paintings by two of Canada’s most influential contemporary artists, Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber. A collection of book covers adorned with titles painted in simple handwritten fonts are displayed on brightly colored hardboard. Each book forms part of an ongoing series Dumontier and Farber started in 2009.
Library is playful and insightful as it pokes and prods at the human condition. Titles like I Lost the Human Race, Change Your Relationship to Your Unchangeable Past,and I Have a Medical Condition That Makes It So I Don’t Have to Talk to You offer surprising and astute observations.
