Known for its rigorous conceptualism and ambitious materiality, the work of Gordon Lebredt is among Canada's most challenging and gratifying. Alongside Lebredt's
significant record of exhibitions, publications, and interventions is a body of unrealized worka sprawling hypothetical topology of surfaces, abutments, expanses, and disjunctions in which words,
objects, and images struggle to find and mark their place.
Nonworks 19752008 collects all of Lebredt's unrealized proposals from a thirty-three-year perioda major retrospective of a body of work that exists only as possibility. Designed
and typeset by Lebredt himself and edited by Lin Gibson, the book will contain approximately 100 works presented as drawings, schematics and sketches rendered in pencil, ink, spray paint,
and type, as well as texts by Gary Michael Dault, Ian Carr-Harris, Yvonne Lammerich, and Yam Lau.
