Summary:
They've been called cheeky pranksters but the immersive environments created by the artistic collective lampoon consumer culture with a razor-sharp wit. BGL's exhibitions have included the staging of an ornamental tree factory, a bonfire and a flea market; and their urban carousel made from security fences and lampposts joyously greeted visitors at MASS MoCA's 2012 exhibition, Oh Canada. Through their ingeniously-crafted installations, BGL repositions cultural ephemera and unique sculptures in new and thought-provoking ways, often requiring viewer engagement and always to general delight. This in-depth examination of BGL's practice accompanies the world premiere of their new work, Canadassimo, created especially for 2015 Venice Biennial, where the collective is representing Canada.

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.

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:
Il s’agit d’une bande dessinée qui aborde les enjeux environnementaux et sociaux provoqués par le « Plan Nord ». Sous une forme ludique et faussement naïve dont l’aspect pourrait rappeler un bestiaire, ou un herbier, l’auteur propose un voyage à travers les différents environnements naturels, humains et spirituels de ce nord que ce projet titanesque, décrit comme « le chantier d’une génération », est en train de transformer à tout jamais. Pour les illustrations, l’auteur compte utiliser la technique du collage et se servir principalement de morceaux de sacs de poubelles noirs ramassés dans les réserves amérindiennes de la Basse Côte-Nord situées à proximité du vaste complexe hydro-électrique La Romaine.
