2020
2020
Publication design and editorial with Justin Langlois,
Holly Schmidt and Annie Canto, published by Living Labs, 2020.
Float School is an infrastructural sculpture, a platform for dialogic and socially engaged work, and a vessel for dissemination created by Vancouver-based artists, curators and educators Justin Langlois and Holly Schmidt. This artist-led research, creation and programming initiative explores “floating” as a response to precarity as a contemporary condition intertwined with a diminishing investment in the notion of progress and its forward trajectory. As a platform for envisioning a shared future through artistic and pedagogical experiments, In recent years, Float School offered a series of intensive performative actions in Prince George and Vancouver with ECUAD & UNBC faculty, graduate students, local artists, teachers, and social workers. A digital publication that captures significant learning and strategies to support floating as a pedagogical stance was launched in the summer of 2020.
