Summary:
Assembled by Jean-Christophe Ammann of Kunsthalle Basel, this publication comprises a near-complete visual archive of the creative practice of Iain and Ingrid Baxter as the N.E. Thing Company. N.E. Thing Co. was a Vancouver-based conceptual art group run by copresidents Iain and Ingrid Baxter. The 'company' acted as a vehicle that interrogated art, domestic systems, corporate strategies and everyday life through the use of photography, information technology and installation-based works. Due to N.E. Thing Co.’s small runs, this work is particularly scarce. Originally published in an edition of 500, this facsimile second edition makes Companies Act accessible for the first time in over 40 years.

Flipping through 'Cover to Cover', which is composed entirely of photographs in narrative sequence, one might describe it as a book made by a filmmaker. Each individual page features a distinct moment, seen from one perspective on the front, and from a diametrically opposed angle on the back, occasionally pivoting between interior and exterior spaces. Midway through the book, the images are inverted such that the volume must be turned upside-down to be looked at right-side up. The result is a disorienting study in simultaneity.

Summary:
Archetypes features a recent series by Canadian artist David K. Ross, who works at the interface of photography, film, and installation. His images of architectural mock-ups, staged at night with dramatic lighting that isolates structures from their surroundings, demonstrate how these objects have become a charged form of proto-architecture. They also change how we view the practice of architecture by documenting and framing unseen aspects of its emergence. Built at full scale, these architectural fragments—to be removed from construction sites as buildings near completion—ensure that a project can be executed exactly to design, and they provide clients with a simulation of a building that leaves little space for speculation. The task of mock-up documentation is usually left to architects and contractors, who take quick snapshots for their reference during site visits.The book offers a platform to consider what it means to pre-construct fragments of buildings in all their complexity.

Summary:
This volume presents an overview of the Canadian collective oeuvre—an oeuvre still haunted by Miss General Idea, a fictive character who was at once muse and object, image and concept. Founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal—both disappeared in 1994—and AA Bronson, the trio adopted a generic identity that "freed it from the tyranny of individual genius."(...)

Founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal—both disappeared in 1994—and AA Bronson, the trio adopted a generic identity that "freed it from the tyranny of individual genius." Their complex intermingling of reality and fiction took the form of a transgressive and often parodic take on art and society. Treating the image as a virus infiltrating every aspect of the real world, General Idea set out to colonize it, modify its content and so come up with an alternative version of reality.

L’artiste aménage les espaces, construit des réceptacles ou des parcours dans lesquels déambule le spectateur. Se fondant sur l’expérience vécue et les espaces qu’elles habitent, les œuvres deviennent ainsi des objets fortement relationnels. Elles suscitent généralement l’intérêt et l’engouement du public, ainsi qu’un large consensus auprès des critiques et du monde de l’art. L’auteure Katrie Chagnon parcourt les vingt-cinq années de pratique de l’artiste. en mettant à profit ses compétences de théoricienne de l’art, son expérience dans le monde de l’édition en art contemporain et sa connaissance intime du travail de Alexandre David – dont elle suit le travail depuis plusieurs années –, elle propose une analyse approfondie des oeuvres du sculpteur tout en dégageant les diverses problématiques théoriques soulevées par l’approche de la sculpture et de l’installation. Faisant appel aux notions théoriques les plus courantes, elle nous conduit ainsi dans une plus vaste exploration des enjeux de la sculpture actuelle et de l’art d’aujourd’hui.

Patkau Architects is known for creating innovative, sculptural buildings that convey artistic expression through the purposeful use of materials. "Patkau Architects: material operations" reveals the architectural philosophy and techniques that drive the firm's extraordinary constructions. Working directly with materials'bending them, breaking them, feeling their texture, mass, and strength provides a depth of understanding that visual observation alone cannot. The firm's creations demonstrate how attending to and playing with specific materials yields a refreshed and expanded perspective on the possible. "Patkau Architects: material operations" investigates how the qualities of commonly available construction materials and unconventional techniques produce buildable, expressive forms with inherent structural capacities and evocative identities.
