Book Launch:
The Cat, the Clock and the Rock: Eighteen Fables
An idea for a book by Ryan Gander
Please join us on Thursday, March 5th (4 to 6 pm) for a reception to celebrate the launch of The Cat, the Clock and the Rock: Eighteen Fables.
In January 2025, British artist Ryan Gander shared an open call for OCAD students to submit original fables with the title “The Cat, the Clock and the Rock”. This is also the title of Gander’s permanent public sculpture commissioned by Lanterra Developments for their Artists’ Alley project at 234 Simcoe Street in Toronto and installed in April 2025. The eighteen stories in this collection were imagined from the title alone, without the students having seen the completed sculpture.
The book was designed by Samantha Lee, Alexandra Maftei, Craig Rodmore and Olivia Wideman; with illustrations by Maja Rudnicki.
The authors are Evan D’Alleva, Paul Richter, Stella Robichaud, Emily Ackerman, Charlie Sheldon, Nik Fults, Ryan Kilmurry, Ihotukowoicho Obande, JP Gans, Erin Guevara-Silva, Elliot Black, Olivia Eyre, A. Morgan, Tiffany Chan, Lauren Dilworth, Maja Rudnicki, Emir Altay, and Anthony Park.
It was edited by Catherine Black, Craig Rodmore and Derek Sullivan; and was made possible through the support of Lanterra Developments and Ryan Gander Studio.
