Summary:
This 768-page volume stands as the most comprehensive source on the Canadian collective General Idea, founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson and active until the deaths of Partz and Zontal in 1994. The book is arranged in three parts: Performances and Actions, In the Streets and In the Showroom. The first two parts focus on ephemeral, time-based and even disposable works. The third part includes a plate section offering a near-complete visual survey of General Idea's practice. Facing-page comparative images show works as they appeared in historical installations or other relevant contexts. These three sections correspond broadly to the collective’s development: from performances, actions, pageants and other practices (1969–78), through works engaging with mass-media formats such as the magazine, television and video (1972–’80s), and finally to works conceived for galleries and museums (1985–94). The publication features a prologue by AA Bronson, a conversation between him and Beatrix Ruf, and new texts by international scholars. The appendix includes a complete scholarly bibliography, exhibition and performance histories, and an illustrated chronology of the group.

Summary:
In this personal account of A.J. Diamond’s life and work, he shares how he came to be the founder of the leading architecture firm Diamond Schmitt, one of Canada’s most successful architecture companies. He also explains his principles of design, which at their core are about making a positive impact in the world, considering the needs of the content, client, and context. Diamond gives insight into his design principles in relation to some of his most notable projects, including the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, la Maison symphonique de Montréal, the Mariinsky II Theatre in Saint Petersburg. Diamond also chronicles his family ancestry, his childhood in South Africa, from his birth in his grandfather’s study in the small provincial town of Piet Retief on the borders of Eswatini (Swaziland) and Mozambique, to his university days at the University of Cape Town and Oxford and the University of Pennsylvania. His memoir traces his immigration to the U.S. and, eventually, Canada as well as his growing architectural practice in Toronto, where he focused on the issues facing his chosen city.

Summary:
Le déménagement (le rapt, diront ses opposants) de la fontaine La Joute, la plus imposante sculpture de Riopelle, du Parc olympique vers le quartier des affaires, souleva un « débat sans précédent au Québec » autour d'une oeuvre d'art public. Non sans raison: peaufiné depuis cinq ans par les déménageurs, au premier chef la ministre-députée du comté qui allait pourtant être dépouillé de l'oeuvre, le projet était secret. Il aura fallu la maladresse d'un de ses artisans, en mars 2002, pour le révéler à un public stupéfait et mettre le feu aux poudres. Ce sont les coulisses de cette affaire, exemple de l'arrogance des pouvoirs publics, que dévoile la présente enquête, en plus de raconter l'histoire tragico-rocambolesque de La Joute. Au fil des pages, on découvrira aussi d'autres folles histoires, nées, celles-là, des susceptibilités du public, confronté à une oeuvre parachutée sans préavis dans le voisinage. Quoi qu'il en soit, tant ces susceptibilités parfois explosives du public que l'arrogance des autorités devraient nous inciter à réfléchir à des formes nouvelles de démocratie patrimoniale.
