Vancouver-based artist Kyla Mallett borrows from the systematized aesthetics of 1960s conceptu al art and applies pseudo-sociological sampling and archiving to reveal net works of communication within various social milieus.
In keeping with Mallett's interest in alternative\, often unsanctioned\, forms of dialogue \, the photographs in Marginalia depict annotations and graffiti found in s elected books circulated by the Vancouver Public Library. The marked pages reflect the opinions of teens\, feminists and art historians\, as expressed in subject areas ranging from teen suicide to Milton's Paradise Lost. In r epresenting the marginalia in situ\, alongside the official text\, Mallett' s photographs reveal reading as a practice that can be rife with contestati on\, even fury.
