Summary:
A survey of the work of thirteen emerging contemporary artists living in the Maritimes and their engagement with the question of region. The publication’s title reflects the multiplicity and uncertain origin of the region's identity, defined as much by dreams and myths of escape as by any inherent qualities. One of the most enduring tropes about the creative process is the notion that the largest gathering of people generates the most interaction, and thus the greatest production of new ideas. Countering this myth is the proposition that large centres often produce homogeneity, and that incessant communication can even lead to a kind of cultural sameness. It may be precisely the very hindrance to communication - geography, distance, isolation - that produce the new approaches that loom large in the work featured here.

Summary:
Ce livre jette un regard rétrospectif sur l’œuvre de Kathy Kennedy, qui depuis plus de trois décennies propose une approche singulière de l’art sonore. Ses créations puisent dans la musique classique aussi bien que dans le domaine des arts visuels. Pour l’essentiel, les créations de Kennedy incarnent des manières alternatives d’embrasser la pratique du chant. Au fil des années l’artiste a étudié, exploré et repoussé les limites de l’art vocal en créant des œuvres axées sur le chant comme moyen de découverte et de transformation de soi, aussi bien qu’outil social pouvant contribuer au renforcement communautaire. Rejetant la posture traditionnelle du chanteur ou de la chanteuse, les compositions de Kennedy se fondent sur l’inclusion, l’exploration de l’identité personnelle dans l’espace public et la conscience environnementale. Puisqu’il est beaucoup question d’audition dans ce livre, on y trouve de nombreux liens menant à des documents audiovisuels témoignant des œuvres mentionnées. De plus, trois spécialistes ont écrit sur des pièces phares du répertoire de l’artiste.

Summary:
Over the past few years Marcel Dzama's drawings have been attracting considerable attention. His odd mutant figures, with their ambiguous relationship to other figures, objects and situations, are infused with a radiant innocence and an idiosyncratic sense of humour far removed from other strategies that have fueled artmaking over the past decade. In this most comprehensive publication on Dzama's work to date, Patten examines the seminal evolution of Dzama's idiosyncratic approach to drawing between 1996 and 2001. Referring to Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of grotesque humour and the carnivalesque, he demonstrates how each drawing is an amalgam of allusions to 20th century popular culture. With an introduction by Wayne Baerwaldt, director of the Power Plant. Originally from Winnipeg, Marcel Dzama has had numerous solo exhibitions, notably at the Los Angeles Invitational Biennial, Richard Heller Gallery of Santa Monica and Sies + Hoke of Dusseldorf. He has also exhibited widely as a member of the Royal Art Lodge, most recently at New York's Drawing Room.

Summary:
Archetypes features a recent series by Canadian artist David K. Ross, who works at the interface of photography, film, and installation. His images of architectural mock-ups, staged at night with dramatic lighting that isolates structures from their surroundings, demonstrate how these objects have become a charged form of proto-architecture. They also change how we view the practice of architecture by documenting and framing unseen aspects of its emergence. Built at full scale, these architectural fragments—to be removed from construction sites as buildings near completion—ensure that a project can be executed exactly to design, and they provide clients with a simulation of a building that leaves little space for speculation. The task of mock-up documentation is usually left to architects and contractors, who take quick snapshots for their reference during site visits.The book offers a platform to consider what it means to pre-construct fragments of buildings in all their complexity.
