Summary:
In 1949, the forest magnate, H.R. MacMillan, opened an exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery entitled “Design for Living,” a show which brought together design and artistic communities to create four imaginary households for postwar Vancouverites. It also heralded an unprecedented level of cooperation between the province’s industry and its artists and craftspeople – a relationship that seemed to hold great promise for the development of art, furniture, and craft in B.C. The celebration of the cooperative spirit between “architects, artists and designers,” between “potters, weavers and gardeners” is central to "A Modern Life", which examines the coming together of what were often very separate disciplines in post-World War II British Columbia, as well as the trend-setting design and use of materials that developed in the province, and the impact these had on the more traditional art community. "A Modern Life", demonstrates that the ideas of the artistic and design community as a whole during this vibrant period – an era of optimism and promise for the future, in a province that had reason to believe passionately in what was to come – have a continued relevance and importance for our understanding of the history of this community and the relationship of the built environment to the extraordinary landscape of British Columbia. With essays by Rachel Chinnery on ceramics, Scott Watson on fine arts, Alan Elder on collaboration, Allan Collier on wood and design, and Sherry McKay on architecture.

Summary:
Three series of intricate graphite drawings depict, with arresting realism, real-world examples of assembled, grown, and built objects common to distinct milieus of Vancouver: the shopping carts piled high with belongings that clatter along sidewalks in the downtown core; the long, high hedges that insulate single-family homes from the din of arterial traffic; and the sculptural lions placed for good luck atop fenceposts in front of many homes, especially on the city's east side. In creating snapshots and then laborious drawings of these objects, Taizo Yamamoto, the principal of Yamamoto Architecture, was driven by a fascination with how the recurrence of these seemingly mundane objects speaks to omnipresent issues of housing unaffordability, densification, and the aspirations of diasporic communities - concerns that have an uneasy relationship to celebrated narratives of Vancouver but play a prominent role in residents' everyday lives. To this work he brings not just sustained careful attention but an architect's eye for details both structural and textural, resulting in immersive, richly nuanced drawings.

Summary:
Modern urban planning has long promised to improve the quality of human life. But how is human life defined? "Displacing Blackness" develops a unique critique of urban planning by focusing, not on its subservience to economic or political elites, but on its efforts to improve people’s lives. While focused on twentieth-century Halifax, "Displacing Blackness" develops broad insights about the possibilities and limitations of modern planning. Drawing connections between the history of planning and emerging scholarship in Black Studies, Ted Rutland positions anti-blackness at the heart of contemporary city-making. Moving through a series of important planning initiatives, from a social housing project concerned with the moral and physical health of working-class residents to a sustainability-focused regional plan, Displacing Blackness shows how race – specifically blackness – has defined the boundaries of the human being and guided urban planning, with grave consequences for the city’s Black residents.
