Edited by Amy Kazymerchyk
Contributors: Christina Sharpe and Diamond Stingily

The book expands from Syms' exhibition, Borrowed Lady, held at the Audain Gallery from October 13 to December 10, 2016. This is volume 3 of the SFU Galleries Critical Reader Series.

This publication unfolds the formal and conceptual inheritances that are operative in Syms' practice. A new text by Christina Sharpe offers a close reading of the visual and aural gestures in the exhibition; a transcriptions of Syms' performative lecture, Misdirected Kiss, cites a range of borrowed artistic, literary and theoretical references for further study; and a poetic text by artist Diamond Stingily expresses her own familial inheritances and illustrate Syms' relational and dialogic methodology.
