Summary:
Canada is a country whose national narrative is difficult to define, even for Canadians. This question is further complicated when looking at emerging artists who have grown up under intense globalization.

Summary:
Canada is a country whose national narrative is difficult to define, even for Canadians. This question is further complicated when looking at emerging artists who have grown up under intense globalization. In Canada, specific identities are difficult to pinpoint and, when they are, they are often portrayed as problematic stereotypes bound up in a colonialist history. “Alternorthern” was conceived in the tension that exists between nationalism, globalization, and individualism: the exhibition is a product of both cultural values and cultural hybridism. The nine artists in this exhibition function similarly in that they use their own identities to make gestures that transgress time and space. Each artist in the exhibition is Canadian, yet each creates work that speaks to issues pertinent to both Canadian and global geographic and political landscapes. The exhibition will open during the 2010 Olympics, when many of the stereotypes, symbols, themes, and political workings of Canada will be disseminated into the U.S. media. As Canada is in the throes of presenting its tourist identity on the international stage, this exhibition can function as a way of transgressing this identity. Thus, the curators see this exhibition not as a response to the event of the Olympics but as an opportunity to subvert and play with cultural dialogue that will exist during this time.

Summary:
The work of Samuel Roy-Bois resists categorization, freely mixing drawing, painting, sculpture, performance, music, architecture and literature to create large-scale installations that compell the viewer to enter. 'Polarizer' presents a new body of work that continues to address an interest in mystery, passage and a shift in perception. Using a dizzying variety of found and constructed objects, Roy-Bois invites the viewer on an odyssey through murky corridors punctuated by moments of discovery, reverie and radiance. Originally from Québec, the artist now lives in Vancouver. Co-published with the Robert Mclaughlin Gallery and Rodman hall Arts Centre.

Publication d’une exposition construite autour d’une œuvre monumentale intitulée Vanités. Faite de l’image numérisée de dizaines de miroirs abîmés, cette œuvre imposante ouvre une brèche dans le regard, invité à s’y projeter, mais ne retourne forcément aucune image, mis à part ce que le spectateur y trouvera. Cette pièce centrale est accompagnée de paysages altérés par l’artiste. Ces manipulations donnent lieu à des nocturnes menaçantes dont les détails se confondent avec la tache. Encore une fois, Nicolas Baier encourage l’apparition de formes précises à partir de sensations vague. Cette publication, co-éditée avec le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec et le Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, accompagne une exposition itinérante nationale. En français et anglais.

Summary:
The work of Angela Grauerholz occupies an important place in Canadian and international photography. From the 1980s on, her search to redefine the art of photography has taken various forms including portraits and interior and exterior scenes with or without people. Yet regardless of the subject, her work gives an impression of timelessness with images that are both commonplace and sublime. This retrospective publication covers twenty years of production and highlights Grauerholz’s major photographic and installation works. Three critical essays discuss the work in relation to time, memory and representation.
