Summary:
The subversive visual programme of the Surrealists was expressed in the interplay of the contradictions, with the goal of radically dismantling the expectations of the hitherto experienced. Today, in a time shaped by increasingly impenetrable and contradictory fragments of information, a new generation of artists is rediscovering the multifarious poetic stylistic devices of Surrealism. Using a disparate, curious and ambiguous aesthetic, they respond to our uncertain and long since incomprehensible world. The catalogue The Ear of Giacometti evokes the main lines of development of central (post-)surrealist themes and is richly illustrated with images from classical and contemporary Surrealist art.

Over the last twenty years an increasing number of artists have turned to expressing themselves through postcards. Whether by way of installation, collage, addition to, or alteration of existing postcards, or the production of postcards themselves, many prominent artists employ the medium in some form.

Summary:
This book documents and exhibition of contemporary Japanese artists who are active at the cutting edge of the global fiber-art movement, transforming fabrics into sculptures, pictures, emulations of nature, or even abstract meditations on memory and identity. The materials they use range from silk, cotton, recycled cocoons, antique paper scraps, jute, and hemp to stainless-steel wire and synthetic fiber. Their methods are sometimes traditional, but can also incorporate the latest weaving and dyeing technology, often with the goal of expressing an environmentally conscious green ethic. The thirty artists were selected for "Fiber Futures: Japan's Textile Pioneers," an exhibition at New York's Japan Society Gallery. Introductory essays by Hiroko Watanabe, President of International Textile Network, and Gallery Director Joe Earle provide the context for these innovative, beautiful, and sometimes challenging works of art. The catalogue section features artist statements, informative commentary, and lavish photography, much of it commissioned especially by Japan Society.

This catalogue of a travelling exhibition (Hannover, Basel, Frankfurt am Main) demonstrates that artists are able, past all doctrines of growth, to bring forth an artistic treatment of the concept of growth. They indicate lines of connection and dependencies which seem strange to us. Among these are the splendid Venetian Murano glass with which Tue Greenfort illustrates the growth of algae in the Adriatic, the ludicrous flooding of a McDonald’s restaurant, by means of which the Danish artist’s group Superflex alludes to the threatening growth in sea levels. Also works by Dirk Fleischmann, Sylvie Fleury, Mika Rottenberg, Julika Rudelius, Lois Weinberger, Franck Scurti, Dan Peterman and many others.

Summary:
The first book to look extensively at conceptualism in Canada, published to accompany a touring exhibition. The most transformative art movement of the late 20th century, conceptual art became a global phenomenon long before it was popularized by a new generation of artists and institutions in the early 21st century. Its various manifestations in Canada, however, have remained a limited concern, a whispered art history circulated among artists and writers primarily in alternative publications and artist-run centres. Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965-1980 is the first publication and exhibition to track the complex, rigorous and diverse manifestations of conceptual art in the country. Presenting work by more than 90 artists, Traffic examines the particular local and geographic needs and interests enacted by individual artists, collectives and art communities from across the country. The book includes essays by six curators, a conversation with an international group of scholars, an annotated chronology and many reproductions of conceptual artworks produced in Canada. Co-published by the Vancouver Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Alberta, Justina M. Barnicke Gallery (Hart House, University of Toronto), Leonard & Bina Ellen Gallery (Concordia University) and Halifax, INK
