Obomsawin is also a graphic artist, and she incorporates her often dream-inspired etchings and prints into many of her films. This volume includes illuminating essays exploring Obomsawin’s practice and mission as well as personal commentary from collaborators, archival materials, and photographs from the filmmaker’s personal life and professional exploits. As Obomsawin closes in on her ninth decade of life—and fifth decade behind the camera—this beautifully illustrated record of her astounding body of work and tireless efforts on behalf of Indigenous peoples and culture is an inspiring celebration of the power of film to dramatically change the course of history.

Summary:
This 768-page volume stands as the most comprehensive source on the Canadian collective General Idea, founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson and active until the deaths of Partz and Zontal in 1994. The book is arranged in three parts: Performances and Actions, In the Streets and In the Showroom. The first two parts focus on ephemeral, time-based and even disposable works. The third part includes a plate section offering a near-complete visual survey of General Idea's practice. Facing-page comparative images show works as they appeared in historical installations or other relevant contexts. These three sections correspond broadly to the collective’s development: from performances, actions, pageants and other practices (1969–78), through works engaging with mass-media formats such as the magazine, television and video (1972–’80s), and finally to works conceived for galleries and museums (1985–94). The publication features a prologue by AA Bronson, a conversation between him and Beatrix Ruf, and new texts by international scholars. The appendix includes a complete scholarly bibliography, exhibition and performance histories, and an illustrated chronology of the group.

Catalogue de l'exposition présentée au Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal du 24 mai au 3 septembre 2012. Contemporary art has recently taken a particular interest in the animal world - not surprising given current debates on the evolution of natural history and the unprecedented ecological upheavals taking place in the natural world. This publication offers an opportunity to re-examine just what shapes our experience and understanding of nature and animals through mythology, natural science, ecology, ideology and, increasingly critically, the economy. Twenty artists from Canada and around the world question the place accorded animals and nature in today’s universe. With essays and illustrations presented and organized to remind the reader of a natural history manual, the book reads as an encyclopedia of ideas about animals and their relationship to humans and to art.

Marcel Dzama's 2011 films A Game of Chess and Death Disco Dance revealed fascinating new developments in the artist's iconography and range of media--perhaps most notably in his use of puppets and dioramas, which added more playful qualities to his imagery of conflict and terror, and underscored his dialogue with modernist artists such as Duchamp, Man Ray and Oskar(...)

This volume, published for Dzama's exhibitions at Sies + Höke and Kunstverein Braunschweig, reproduces a wealth of new work, including images, stage sets, puppets, dioramas and sculptures from the films; a suite of ten drawings called Forgotten Terrorists (2008-2011), that draw on a photograph of the Palestinian terrorist and hijacker Leila Khaled; and other recent drawings, such as "Pepper Spray Saturday" (2011), an interpretation of the already iconic image of policeman John Pike pepper spraying Occupy protesters at University of California Davis.

Collaborating with a varied cast of characters--beekeepers, mycologists, astronomers, physicists, bees, cats, snowballs, tango dancers, passersby, plants, curators, hotel porters--Canadian artist Diane Borsato creates works that propose eccentric models for relating to one another and to the world. For her project "Italian Lessons," she attempted to learn Italian by learning salsa, physics, first aid and beekeeping by way of Italian instruction. In "Terrestrial/Celestial," Borsato coordinated an unconventional exchange of observational practices--from opposite ends of the scale--between amateur mycologists and amateur astronomers. In a new work, "Walking Studio," Borsato proposes a different space for research and reflection with her mobile field study lab, comprised of a study center and fully functional sauna. This overview is published to accompany a solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of York University in 2012.
