Summary:
Peu importe où les Fermières Obsédées se trouvent, elles sont perturbatrices et imperturbables. En écho à cette vague, entendre cette déferlante, qui bouscule les protocoles identitaires, les Fermières Obsédées sont de ces artistes qui font tout pour se faire voir. Usant de clichés féminins que constitueraient le rouge vif des lèvres, les chaussures à talon et la jupe qui laisse bien voir les jambes, les Fermières Obsédées sont à longue distance d’une représentation qui prendrait la voie de la séduction. Ou alors, elles nous séduisent par la délinquance mise en œuvre pour vandaliser ce qui, du féminin, se logerait du côté de la grâce. Se faisant reines ou stars, elles n’en adoptent pas pour autant les comportements et les « apparats », bien loin qu’elles sont de ce qui codifie le statut de ces femmes. Sans être masculines pour autant, elles se rapprochent davantage de l’enterrement de vie de garçon que du défilé de la duchesse. Les performances des Fermières adoptent ce rythme qui les emporte dans la démesure. Incluant un DVD.

Summary:
Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Jack Chambers: Light, Spirit, Time, Place and Life is the first major volume to be published on the work of Jack Chambers, one of Canada’s most recognized and broadly influential artists. Featuring a selection of some 100 works including paintings, drawings, prints, and films, and materials from the artist’s extensive papers, the book focuses on Chambers’s own unique brand of “perceptive realism,” his use of light, place, time, and spirit, all of which were central to his work. A brilliant draughtsman and remarkable painter, Chambers spend his early adulthood travelling and studying in Europe, where he met Pablo Picasso. When he returned to his hometown of London, Ontario, in 1961, he found himself at the centre of a vibrant art scene that would become the backdrop for his films and the surrealist-influenced works based on his dream-like evocations of memory.

Summary:
This publication brings together five architectural practices that, while all distinct, share a particular sensibility for the impact of craftsmanship and climate on the generation of form, as well as a concern for the expressive tactility of material and the effect of light on the articulation of structure. Designed with detail, the book offers an indepth survey of recent work by Steven Holl (New York), Rick Joy (Tucson), John and Patricia Patkau (Vancouver), Stanley Saitowitz (San Francisco), and Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe (Toronto). The regional specificity of the work is considered against a larger North American context, allowing one to assess the practice of its architecture today.

Summary:
Daniel Young and Christian Giroux have been making art together for nearly ten years. Their sculpture, public art and film installations are the product of an ongoing conversation concerning mid-century modernity, and the production of space and the built environment. This first in-depth monograph provides a career overview as well as an exploration of the duo's latest and most emblematic project, Beta Boole - sculptures involving Ikea furniture. The term Boole comes from the 3D computer modeling operation of adding and subtracting simple forms to generate more complex ones. These pieces of furniture provide both a recognizable and vernacular set of domestic forms, which perversely realize the Modernist goal of universal design through the machinations of globalization. Brancusi, Gordon Matta-Clark, and the Japanese architectural office SANAA are among their critical influences.
