architekturbild, the European Architectural Photography Prize, has been awarded on a two-yearly basis since 1995. The theme for 2021 is "The urban in the periphery". Migration between conurbations and rural areas, their respective attractiveness and independence, but also dependence and interdependence with one another: What would be more predestined to trace the subtle or even obvious effects of the urban-rural movement than architectural photography?

Summary:
''3+: Trois photographes montréalais+/ Three Montreal photographers'' est un catalogue d'une exposition rétrospective de photographies de trois photographes montréalais – Tom Gibson, Donigan Cumming et Michel Campeau – dont le travail a été collectionné et a fait l’objet d’écrits par le commissaire et critique Robert Graham. Leur travail est présenté en association avec plusieurs images, également issues de sa collection, de trois photographes d’ailleurs – Eadweard Muybridge (Britannique, 1830-1904), Miroslav Tichý (Tchécoslovaque, 1926-2011) et Martin Parr (Britannique, 1952- ). Dans son essai, Robert Graham expose son approche critique. Comme il l’a observé, les photographies en séries et en groupes révèlent, par la répétition et le motif, les intérêts sous-jacents de l’artiste, et la conjonction du dernier groupe de photographes met en relief certains aspects des trois premiers. Chaque artiste pratique une rhétorique qui nous aide à comprendre comment nous pensons à travers la photographie. En tant que commissaire de cette exposition, Graham s’est intéressé à la relation entre l’image et la connaissance, et à la façon dont l’une soutient l’autre d’une manière similaire à celle dont ce qu’il appelle métaphoriquement ''l’illustration' et la 'légende' sont liées. De cette manière, la photographie favorise un certain type de connaissance; en effet, les informations spatiales fournies par la photographie constituent une sorte de géographie à part entière, qui a été décrite comme 'l’œil de l’histoire'.

Summary:
This publication presents a compilation of photographs from African diasporic culture. With over one hundred works by Black artists from Canada, the Caribbean, Great Britain, the United States, South America, as well as throughout the African continent, this volume provides a timely exploration of Black identity on both sides of the Atlantic. Drawn from Dr. Kenneth Montague’s Wedge Collection in Toronto—a Black-owned collection dedicated to artists of African descent—this book looks at the multifaceted ideas of Black life through the lenses of community, identity, and power. Artists such as Stan Douglas, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Barkley L. Hendricks, Texas Isaiah, Liz Johnson Artur, Seydou Keïta, Deana Lawson, Jamel Shabazz, and Carrie Mae Weems, touch on themes of agency, beauty, joy, belonging, subjectivity, and self-representation. Writings by Isolde Brielmaier, Ugochukwu-Smooth C. Nzewi, Mark Sealy, Teka Selman, and Deborah Willis among others provide insight and commentary on this monumental collection.
