Ace Art Books was conceived as a program to facilitate the transition of artists' production into an agile medium -- bookworks, cassettes, digital media, "multiples" -- for circulation to a wider audience outside the context of a regular exhibition or event. Their design aims for multiplicity and portability. Over the past four years, the gallery has functioned as a production/presentation facility, providing varying degrees of technical, conceptual and editorial assistance. The publications are produced by a variety of means, with artists incorporating handmade, mechanical and digital techniques. A permanent display / reading / perusing area has been created as part of the aceartinc. Resource Centre and the bookworks are available for purchase at the gallery.
What follows is a brief list of Books:
Here it is, the anthology of 2010-2011’s programming year- yet another great one! So many shows! So many one offs! So much art! So many essays!
Due to the limited print-run, PaperWaits are only available to members and the people who contributed to it. So come by ace and pick up your copy today- we’ll be pleased to see you.
Well now here it is, the anthology of 2009-2010’s programming year- what a year! So many shows! So many one offs! So much art! So many essays! You can read all about it here… There is also a fortune teller, a flip book, and postcards included: publications don’t get more exciting than this. And you can also spot the local poster boy and his unique bag on the cover…
Due to the limited print-run, PaperWaits are only available to members and the people who contributed to it BUT you can become a member either by volunteering or paying a mere ten bucks (more if you can afford it!) Perfect.

November 18, 2010—MONTRÉAL, QC—The Curatorial Panel for the 2010 Sobey Art Award has chosen Daniel Barrow as the recipient of the $50,000 prize. Daniel Barrow represents the Prairies and the North. The announcement was made this evening during a gala event held at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal.
aceart offers its loudest congratulations to Daniel. The gallery has been a supporter of his work for some years (see link below to our archives) and completed publication of his art book, No One Helped Me, early this year. Books are available via his website http://www.danielbarrow.com
The other shortlisted artists for this year’s Award were Brendan Lee Satish Tang (West Coast and Yukon), Brendan Fernandes (Ontario), Patrick Bernatchez (Québec), and Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby (Atlantic). Each of these talented artists receives $5,000 in prize money from the Award’s creator, the Sobey Art Foundation.
In commenting on Daniel Barrow’s achievement, the curatorial committee said, “The unanimous choice for the 2010 Sobey Art Award is Daniel Barrow. Over the past 15 years Barrow has created a unique, self-sustaining fictional world composed of drawing, storytelling and manual animation of the antiquated technology of the overhead projector. His virtuoso performances awaken a sense of empathy in the viewer. Wry, politically astute, and strangely heartbreaking, his comic narratives address love, loss, gender, and media culture. The crux of Barrow’s practice is the problem of how we are all obliged, in order to proceed with our lives, to continually strive to better ourselves and the world around us, in ways misguided or not, transforming the abject into the sublime, heartbreak into redemption.”
The 2010 Sobey Art Award Curatorial Panel consists of: Grant Arnold, Curator, Vancouver Art Gallery; Jen Budney, Associate Curator, Mendel Art Gallery; Philip Monk, Director, Art Gallery of York University; Lesley Johnstone, Curator, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; David Diviney, Curator, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

Please book in advance to avoid disappointment
204 944 9763 | gallery@aceart.org
aceartinc. cordially invites you to a free performance of Every Time I see Your Picture I Cry by Daniel Barrow to celebrate the release of his new art book, No One Helped Me, published by aceartinc. with the generous support of the Winnipeg Arts Council’s New Creations Fund. This is a beautifully produced, limited edition, complete with a 7” record (voice by Daniel Barrow, music by Amy Linton; B side by The Ballet) to accompany your page turning. It also contains exclusive essays by Jon Davies and Steven Matijcio.
Awarded the 2008 Images Prize at its premiere, Daniel Barrow’s newest “manual animation” combines overhead projection with video, music, and live narration to tell the story of a garbage man with a vision to create an independent telephone book chronicling the lives of each person in his city. In the late hours of the night, he sifts through garbage, collecting personal information and then traces pictures of each citizen through the windows of their homes as they sleep. What he doesn’t yet realize is that a deranged killer is trailing him, murdering each citizen he includes in his book, thus rendering his cataloging efforts obsolete. The garbageman is a failed artist who fears becoming subject to the grip of something overwhelming. This animation traces his attempts to slow down and creatively reflect, in a process of coming to terms with his own self-loathing and fear.
ISBN: 978-0-9864732-0-3
Edition of 500.

Functioning as both objet and text, this piece distills some of the issues of desire and loss begun in the installation Captive and Absent (aceartinc., 1997).
