Summary:
This book accompanies and exhibition of the work of Vancouver artist, Scott McFarland, whose photographs are highlighted by meticulous staging that document a discrete range of subjects in serial format. The exhibition at the Contemporary Art Gallery concentrated on one of his ongoing projects : a large body of photographs detailing the interior and exterior of a rural cabin on BC’s Sunshine Coast. McFarland’s naturalistic staging and close cropping emphasized and valorized objects and personal artefacts accumulating within the cabin, and stress an ongoing relationship between the site and its depiction.

Summary:
Balancing environmental, social, economic, and aesthetic concerns, sustainable design has the potential to transform everyday life and is already reshaping the fields of architecture and product design. "Beyond green : toward a sustainable art" explores the influence of this design philosophy on an emerging generation of international artists who combine a fresh aesthetic sensibility with a constructively critical approach to the production, dissemination, and display of art. This catalogue's exhibition includes existing works, commissions, and previously presented work that has been “recycled,” spotlighting ways in which artists are building paths to new forms of practice. The exhibition is curated by Stephanie Smith, curator at the Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago, and is co-organized by iCI and the Smart Museum. It is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with artist interviews, and essays by Smith and by design historian Victor Margolin.

Summary:
This volume, by and about the sculptor and pioneer land artist Richard Long, explores his work from the 1990s to the present day. Long's ability to make works of physical and intellectual beauty is unrivalled, and this new journey takes the reader around the world: to the Sahara Desert, the Rio Grande, Ireland, Spain, Tierra del Fuego, Mongolia and to the forests of Honshu in Japan. If walking has become Long's trademark, the path is a central image or archetype in his work. With his walks, Richard Long weaves a line through many traditions. Majestic museum pieces made from tons of rock are juxtaposed with dramatic mud works and with photographs recording ephemeral sculptures often made in remote landscapes. Most of the photographs were taken by the artist himself. The book includes Richard Long's own notes and writings, lists of solo and group exhibitions, prizes and awards, and a selected bibliography.
