A year-long exhibition consisting of twelve consecutive vitrine displays,
each lasting one month, each changed at the beginning of the month,
starting January 2010.
The displays consist of a selection of items including stationery,
street finds, the backs of things, altered books, coins, packaging,
printed cardboard, metal objects, forms, measuring devices,
games, labels, and other printed materials.
A boxed collection of twelve pamphlets has been produced in a
signed and numbered edition of fifty, plus 10 artist's proofs.
See below for images of the monthly displays.
Micah Lexier is a Winnipeg-born, Toronto-based artist. He curates occasionally and
collects often – generally items made of paper, including out-of-print conceptual art
documents, printed cardboard boxes, and various items found on the street. He has a deep
interest in measurement, numbers, and the kinds of casual marks we make in our day-to-day
lives. Lexier has presented over 90 solo exhibitions, participated in over
150 group
exhibitions and produced a dozen public commissions. Concurrent with his one-year project
for Art Metropole, Lexier has produced a second one-year project for the BMO Project room,
which can be viewed at www.iamthecoin.com.
Micah Lexier is represented in Toronto by Birch Libralato, in Calgary by TrepanierBaer,
and in Berlin by the Gitte Weise Galerie. A bit more information can be found at
