Summary:
Working from the tradition of assemblage, the practice of David Armstrong Six denotes a realm of associative abstraction that extends notions of contingency beyond the object and into a zone of poetic reflexivity, levity and grace. The Canadian artist draws upon a wide range of references and materials, producing works in sculpture, drawing and video, and exploits the(...)

Summary:
Working from the tradition of assemblage, the practice of David Armstrong Six denotes a realm of associative abstraction that extends notions of contingency beyond the object and into a zone of poetic reflexivity, levity and grace. The Canadian artist draws upon a wide range of references and materials, producing works in sculpture, drawing and video, and exploits the dubious nature of cultural prototypes. This book represents a series of sculptural propositions emerging from the cumulative conflation of a studio-based language as a venue for perceptual and spatial inquiry. Includes a critical text by Scott Lyall and an interview with the artist by Kristan Horton.

A survey of the work of thirteen emerging contemporary artists living in the Maritimes and their engagement with the question of region. The publication’s title reflects the multiplicity and uncertain origin of the region's identity, defined as much by dreams and myths of escape as by any inherent qualities.

Summary:
A survey of the work of thirteen emerging contemporary artists living in the Maritimes and their engagement with the question of region. The publication’s title reflects the multiplicity and uncertain origin of the region's identity, defined as much by dreams and myths of escape as by any inherent qualities. One of the most enduring tropes about the creative process is the notion that the largest gathering of people generates the most interaction, and thus the greatest production of new ideas. Countering this myth is the proposition that large centres often produce homogeneity, and that incessant communication can even lead to a kind of cultural sameness. It may be precisely the very hindrance to communication - geography, distance, isolation - that produce the new approaches that loom large in the work featured here.

Summary:
This book presents the transcript of a conference held at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design on October 5–6, 1970, organized by Seth Siegelaub. Attendees at the event included Carl Andre, Joseph Beuys, Ronald Bladen, Daniel Buren, John Chamberlain, Jan Dibbets, Al Held, Robert Irwin, Mario Merz, Robert Morris, Robert Murray, The N.E. Thing Company (Iain and Ingrid Baxter), Richard Serra, Richard Smith, Robert Smithson, Michael Snow and Lawrence Weiner. The Halifax Conference was conceived as a means of bringing about a meeting of recognized artists representing diverse kinds of art from different parts of the world, in as general a situation as possible. Infamously, the conference was held in the college's boardroom, while students and other interested parties watched the proceedings on a video monitor in a separate space. The result was a conversation that devolved—technologically and ideologically—into quasi-tragicomic farce.

Son acquisition dans la collection du Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal - non pas sous sa forme originale comprenant murs et piliers de béton peints, fûts lumineux et plaques réfléchissantes - s'est avérée possible grâce à une migration raisonnée de données sollicitant la photographie et le numérique. Comment un musée peut-il acquérir une telle oeuvre intégrée aux infrastructures publiques ? À mi-chemin entre livre savant et catalogue d'exposition, cet ouvrage rend compte de pratiques artistiques et muséologiques actuelles.

His buildings were harbingers of important shifts in sociopolitical attitudes, urban policies, and modes of architectural production.

Summary:
Jerome Markson’s nearly six-decade-long architectural practice began in a time of profound transformation during the post-war period. His buildings were harbingers of important shifts in sociopolitical attitudes, urban policies, and modes of architectural production. From speculative homes in fledgling suburbs, to bespoke private houses, to social housing in downtown Toronto, to luxury landmarks like the Market Square condominiums, as well as important cultural and institutional buildings, his architecture reflects his pursuit of a more open and inclusive expression of modernity, one that moved past late-Modernism's formal legibility in favour of an increasingly idiosyncratic formal, spatial, and material expression. This book is the first comprehensive critical assessment of Markson's diverse body of work, interwoven with an account of Toronto's emergence as a cosmopolitan city.
