Summary:
The iconic architecture of the brutalist modernist megastructure of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada built by architect Arthur Erickson in the 1960s is the site of the artistic research project into the history of this "radical campus" and its built environment by Vancouver and Vienna based artists Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber. The collaborative research group, "Guests and Hosts", formed by Bitter & Weber and Métis scholar June Scudeler including Métis scholar and student Treena Chambers, Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk student Toni-Leah Yake, as well as Rachel Warwick and Hannah Campbell, has challenged the narrative of the radical campus, so called because it was informed by experimental concepts of learning and teaching. Using the spaces of a settler colonial institution, the project shifts perspectives by unsettling and challenging western- based concepts of pedagogy and knowledge. Combining archival photographic material, architectural photographs by the artists, and interventions into the institutional spaces by Guests and Hosts, the project performs the claim for places rather than spaces for Indigenous ways of knowing and learning.

Summary:
Innovative textile-based artwork exploded across the Canadian Prairies in the second half of the twentieth century. Melding craft traditions with modern and modernist movements in art and theory, a diverse body of creators opened a beautiful new chapter in textile art. "Prairie Interlace" brings together some of the most important scholars of art and craft in Canada to examine the work of forty-eight artists working with textiles from the 1960s to 2000. Recapturing and recording lost histories, this book explores both artists working with textiles and centres of textile study and production, paying special attention to the contexts in which artworks were produced. Indigenous scholars, experts in textile techniques, and experts in Prairie textile history provide fascinating insight into an artistic movement which, until now, has been largely overlooked.

Summary:
"Encounter educational modernism" productively revisits the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, an iconic campus from the late 1960s by Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. The university is recognized for its architectural vision, its linear relationship with the spectacular landscape, and its dynamic spatial imagination of education as an expansive encounter. Designing the interdisciplinary university as a city within one building, including student housing, the campus stages public spaces of encounter to activate the concept of the student as a global citizen in a new world order. This sixties humanist imagination of the student shapes the spatial program of the architecture, a program which clashes with the current neoliberal view of the student as entrepreneur. The third book in Bitter and Weber's series on architecture and the educational complex, Encounter Educational Modernism is an artistic research project on the architecture of the University of Lethbridge and on modernist imaginations of education. It includes photographs and an introduction from the artists and contributions from University of Lethbridge professor Victoria Baster and poet and educator Jeff Derksen. The series Educational Modernism is published in cooperation with Camera Austria and will be continued with a focus on The Workers University Zagreb by Yugoslavian architects Radovan Niksic and Ninoslav Kucan.

Summary:
C’est à un chantier de recherche et de création en constante évolution que nous invite Ælab, le duo formé par les artistes Gisèle Trudel et Stéphane Claude. La publication révèle les prémisses de Devenir-hêtre en insistant sur les fondements de la démarche interdisciplinaire d’Ælab. Dans le premier texte, Monique Régimbald-Zeiber et Denise Pérusse abordent l’histoire récente de la recherche-création au Québec. Elles défendent l’importance de la rencontre entre les arts et les sciences pour créer de nouveaux rapports au monde en transformation qu’est le nôtre. Le potentiel du rapprochement qu’elles prônent se trouve illustré de manière concrète dans le texte de l’ingénieur forestier Christoforos Pappas. Il y relate les défis, mais également la richesse de sa collaboration avec MÉDIANE entre 2020 et 2022, notamment en regard de la conscientisation du public aux enjeux climatiques actuels. Enfin, le texte de l’architecte Juliette Pernin se penche sur le support matériel qui permet de présenter les résultats de ces enquêtes informées de savoirs multiples, la structure d’échafaudages. Elle souligne comment cette « limite épaisse » temporaire, qui évoque le monde de la construction et du théâtre, accentue la perception de l’environnement.
