Summary:
L'importance de la démarche de la sculpteure et photographe Linda Covit nous a été confirmée, une fois de plus, avec l'exposition « Réflexions », présentée à Plein sud du 6 mars au 15 avril 2012. En parallèle à une série de photographies où se révélaient mutuellement les beautés de la nature et de l'architecture, l'artiste proposait également une imposante sculpture en bois. À la fois réceptacle et sanctuaire, demeure et nid, cette oeuvre contemplative, éclairée de l'intérieur, aux qualités plastiques saisissantes, nous renvoyait à des besoins universels liés d'une manière ou d'une autre aux notions d'enveloppement, de contemplation, d'habitat et d'urbanisme. Or, si la présentation de l'exposition «Réflexions» est à l'origine de ce projet de publication, c'est d'abord la maturité d'une démarche solidement construite sur plus de trente années de carrière artistique qui nous a persuadé de la pertinence de réaliser cette monographie portant sur l'oeuvre de Linda Covit.

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.

Le travail de Nicolas Fleming fait habituellement référence à des éléments architecturaux, avec des oeuvres qui s’apparentent à des structures et à des environnements volontairement imprécis. Les mobiliers et les espaces architecturaux créés par cet artiste se présentent comme des chantiers, à l’état clairement inachevés, inhabitables, non fonctionnels et impropres à exercer leur fonction d’origine.

Inaugurée en 2017, ''Bleu de bleu'' est une oeuvre monumentale conçue par Alain Paiement et installée sur un parcours de 6,7 kilomètres en bordure de l'autoroute 20, de l'aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal jusqu'aux abords du centre-ville. 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.
