S’IMBRIQUER entend faire le point sur une pratique croissante de la sculpture contemporaine en terre à travers l’usage de la brique. Symboliquement, la brique est un élément de construction; elle incarne aussi le socle d’une connaissance commune à tous. Partir de ce module architectural basique pour entrer dans des questionnements plastiques très actuels participe à une démarche pédagogique propre à l’Ecole d’Art du Beauvaisis. Cette exposition, et la publication qui l’accompagne, nous mènent ainsi sur les pistes les plus contrastées de la sculpture contemporaine : pesanteur-apesanteur, construction- déconstruction, monumentalité-miniaturisation, terre crue-terre cuite, appareillage, emboîtement, mémoire... Ce catalogue réunit 20 artistes, certains de renommée internationale, d’autres plus jeunes.

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

Apparus en Europe pendant la Renaissance, les cabinets de curiosités abritaient d'immenses collections, souvent princières, marquées par la volonté de recréer la totalité du monde en un lieu, la recherche d'exotisme, de raretés, voire de chimères. Ces accumulations d'objets oscillaient alors entre l'affirmation de la toute puissance de l'homme et de sa vanité. Classées, ordonnées, organisées, les collections de ces "chambres des merveilles" ont finalement été regroupées par discipline pour donner, au siècle des Lumières, naissance aux musées. Aujourd'hui, les cabinets de curiosités restent une source d'inspiration importante, tant pour l'art contemporain qu'en décoration : mélange des catégories, métissage des arts, goût pour la collection et sa mise en scène, esthétique du désordre... Autant de citations contemporaines de cette "chambre des merveilles", qui s'avère un magnifique support à la rêverie et à la création.

Summary:
Art of the 1980s oscillated between radical and conservative, capricious and political, socially engaged and art-historically aware. This book chronicles canonical as well as nearly forgotten works of the 1980s, arguing that what has often been dismissed as cynical or ironic should be viewed as a struggle on the part of artists to articulate their needs and desires in an increasingly commodified world. The major developments of the decade - the rise of the commercial art market, the politicization of the AIDS crisis, the increased visibility of women and gay artists and artists of colour, and the ascension of new media - are illuminated in works by Sophie Calle, Nan Goldin, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Sherrie Levine, and Lorna Simpson, among others.

Summary:
From the time of its invention, photography has enabled artists not only to capture the world around them but also to create worlds of their own. "Utopia/Dystopia" investigates how artists from the late 19th century to the present have used photographic fragments or techniques to represent political, social, or cultural states of utopia or dystopia. Artists have employed a number of strategies to this end, such as cutting, fragmenting, and puncturing images as well as reassembling those culled from ready-made materials or giving a subject multiple exposures. The resulting photographs, photocollages, photomontages, and other creations question the validity of seamless pictorial images, and attempt to dismantle the notion of photography as an objective medium. This publication features approximately forty-five exemplary works by artists such as Herbert Bayer, John Heartfield, Hannah Hoch, Arata Isozaki, El Lissitzky, Carter Mull, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Vik Muniz, Man Ray, Okanoue Toshiko, and many others.

Summary:
This thought-provoking volume offers a critical reevaluation of the term foreclosure: it can refer not only to a forced eviction but also to processes of exclusion - a shutting down of recognition, reflection, and debate. Through work in photography, film, video, installation, and performance, the seven artists represented in this volume (Kamal Aljafari, Yto Barrada, Tania Bruguera, Claude Closky, Harun Farocki, Allan Sekula, and David Shrigley) investigate the expanded meaning of foreclosure by reexamining the systems that have produced crises, instead of focusing on the aftermath. Four essays from a team of international curators discuss foreclosure as both a generative concept and a curatorial strategy, allowing the text itself to become a platform for critique.
