Summary:
Les oeuvres artistiques de Jocelyn Philibert, des photographies comme des sculptures, ont une présence matérielle forte et lumineuse qui suprend toujours ! Les oeuvres sont réunies dans la publication, particulièrement des photographies plus récentes de l’artiste, sont rendues avec beaucoup de puissance et de profondeur, et il en résulte un livre richement illustré qui se prête à des consultations renouvelées ! Pour rendre compte du parcours de ce photographe aux images remarquables, nous avons fait appel à trois auteur(e)s qui ont démontré beaucoup de sensibilité envers la pratique de l’artiste et de profondeur dans leur réflexion. Valérie Litalien remonte le fil du parcours de l’artiste jusqu’à son origine, démontrant à quel point ses portraits photographiques d’arbres s’inscrivent dans une continuité naturelle. Bernard Schütze se penche quant à lui sur l’ambivalence du réel et du faux qui prévaut dans le travail de l’artiste, situant ainsi son analyse dans un contexte philosophique et historique de l’art. De son côté, l’auteur Marcel Blouin fait part des réflexions suscitées chez lui par les photographies de Philibert, des oeuvres qu’il a pu côtoyer de près.

Summary:
Sous la direction d’Eve-Lyne Beaudry, conservatrice de l’art contemporain (1950-2000) du musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, ce livre de 280 pages, largement illustré, contient 5 essais, un entretien avec Ken Dryden et une chronologie détaillée qui n’avait, à ce jour, jamais été compilée. On dit de Serge Lemoyne (1941-1998) qu’il a ébranlé la scène artistique québécoise et contribué de manière significative à une remise en question fondamentale du langage des arts visuels dans le Québec des années 1960, une période parmi les plus effervescentes de notre histoire de l’art. Instigateur des premiers happenings au Québec, à l’instar des artistes new-yorkais dont il admirait le travail, il adopte l’irrévérence esthétique que lui inspirent les Néo-dadaïstes, s’aventure dans l’univers « pop » et s’intéresse à l’art de participation et à la création collective. C’est avec conviction que, sa vie durant, il se porte à la défense de l’accessibilité de l’art pour tous et s’évertue à mieux faire reconnaître le travail des artistes visuels du Québec qu’il considérait comme laissés pour compte. Sa foi était grande envers l’art comme facteur d’émancipation sociale et comme élément fondateur d’une identité québécoise forte et rassembleuse. Si une part considérable de sa production s’est développée autour des éléments de son propre quotidien, il se plaisait aussi à explorer ce qui rassemblait les gens, pour rejoindre un pan plus vaste de la société et faire tomber certaines divisions : la représentation des héros nationaux du Canadien de Montréal – rare trait d’union entre les anglophones et les francophones de l’époque – permet de réunir, encore aujourd’hui, les diverses tranches de la société autour de l’appréciation des arts visuels.

Summary:
Never shying away from controversy, Obomsawin’s films have played a critical role in exposing ongoing systemic bias towards Indigenous populations—from fishing rights and education to health care and treaty violations. Obomsawin is also a graphic artist, and she incorporates her often dream-inspired etchings and prints into many of her films. This volume includes illuminating essays exploring Obomsawin’s practice and mission as well as personal commentary from collaborators, archival materials, and photographs from the filmmaker’s personal life and professional exploits. As Obomsawin closes in on her ninth decade of life—and fifth decade behind the camera—this beautifully illustrated record of her astounding body of work and tireless efforts on behalf of Indigenous peoples and culture is an inspiring celebration of the power of film to dramatically change the course of history.

Summary:
Governor-General award winning architect Jeremy Sturgess recently celebrated thirty years in practice in Calgary, where he has been based his whole career. During that time, Sturgess has made a major contribution to transforming the architectural face of the city, from individual houses to large-scale public projects such as the Calgary Water Centre, the Grand Theatre, and Calgarys most recent downtown LRT stations. This publication provides a comprehensive and multifaceted examination of Sturgesss architecture and urban design, and assesses his contribution to Canadian architecture generally and Calgary architecture in particular. Editor Geoffrey Simmins has gathered perspectives from a number of individuals with whom Sturgess has enjoyed long-term professional relationships - an artist, an urban designer, an architect colleague, an architectural critic, and a journalist. Along with reflections on Sturgesss personality, philosophy, and creative growth, these contributors provide in-depth discussions of a number of Sturgesss most celebrated projects. Simmins himself has drawn on Sturgesss papers and several personal interviews to craft an insightful introduction to the volume. Illustrated with architectural line drawings and with photos by photographer Robert Lemermeyer.
