Rob Edmonds evokes Fragments in RPM

Robert Edmonds is nailing his memories to the wall.


The artist, designer and Main Street fixture hangs the last of the frames of his Fragments in RPM exhibition in Vancouver's Public Lounge Eatery then pours himself a beer. Dozens of moments in music look down on him. It's the first of his solo exhibits in a while, but he's quietly excited about it. He doesn't do solo stuff much.


Fragments in RPM is comprised of screenprinted impressions of vinyl, and in their centres, Edmonds has placed fragments of gig posters he's designed over the past few years. Gomez, Hot Hot Heat, Franz Ferdinand, Flaming Lips, REM, Queens of the Stone Age and Warren Zevon all jam among them.

Suzanne Swannie is a Halifax-based designer and weaver who creates functional textiles, tapestries and large architectural installations for private and public environments. She also weaves pictorial tapestries and is known for unique fabric constructions such as the gallery installation Repassage. Both the woven works and the constructions display the "Danish Modern" principle of repetition of modular units as a means of generating surfaces and structures with a typical emphasis on rich colour harmonies.
