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.

Summary:
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.

Summary:
Peu importe où les Fermières Obsédées se trouvent, elles sont perturbatrices et imperturbables. En écho à cette vague, entendre cette déferlante, qui bouscule les protocoles identitaires, les Fermières Obsédées sont de ces artistes qui font tout pour se faire voir. Usant de clichés féminins que constitueraient le rouge vif des lèvres, les chaussures à talon et la jupe qui laisse bien voir les jambes, les Fermières Obsédées sont à longue distance d’une représentation qui prendrait la voie de la séduction. Ou alors, elles nous séduisent par la délinquance mise en œuvre pour vandaliser ce qui, du féminin, se logerait du côté de la grâce. Se faisant reines ou stars, elles n’en adoptent pas pour autant les comportements et les « apparats », bien loin qu’elles sont de ce qui codifie le statut de ces femmes. Sans être masculines pour autant, elles se rapprochent davantage de l’enterrement de vie de garçon que du défilé de la duchesse. Les performances des Fermières adoptent ce rythme qui les emporte dans la démesure. Incluant un DVD.
