Summary:
In "Suspended Conversations" Martha Langford shows how photographic albums tell intimate and revealing stories about individuals and families. Unlike those who isolate the individual photograph, treat albums as texts, or argue that photography has supplanted memory, she shows that the photographic album must be taken as a whole and interpreted as a visual and verbal performance that extends oral consciousness. Albums are treasured by families, collected as illustrations of the past by museums of social history, and examined by scholars for what they can reveal about attitudes and sensibilities. Most agree that albums are stories that come to life in the retelling - but when no one is left to tell the tale, the intrigue of the album becomes a puzzle, a suspended conversation. Langford argues that oral consciousness provides the missing key. By correlating photography and orality she shows how albums were designed to work as performances and how we can unlock their mysteries. "Suspended Conversations" brings to light a collection of photographic travelogues, memoirs, thematic collections, and family sagas compiled between 1860 and 1960 and held by the McCord Museum of Canadian History. Langford not only provides a fascinating glimpse of the preoccupations of previous centuries but brings photography into the great conversation of how we remember and how we send our stories into the future.

Summary:
This publication is the long-awaited collection of essays, reviews and lectures by Tod Papageorge, one of the most influential voices in photography today. As a photographer and the Walker Evans Professor of Photography at the Yale University School of Art, Papageorge has shaped the work and thought of generations of artist-photographers, and, through his critical writings - some of which have gained a cult following through online postings - he has earned a reputation as an unusually eloquent and illuminating guide to the work of many of the most important figures in twentieth-century photography. Among the artists Papageorge discusses in this volume are Eugène Atget, Brassaï, Robert Frank (with Walker Evans), Robert Adams and his close friend Garry Winogrand. The book also includes texts that examine the more general questions of photography's relationship to poetry, and how the evolution of the medium's early technologies led to the twentieth-century creation of the artist-photographer. Among the previously unpublished pieces are an unfinished poem written in response to Susan Sontag's On Photography, a profile of Josef Koudelka and a commencement speech delivered at the Yale School of Art in 2004. The book also includes a number of interviews given by Papageorge, ranging in topic from his own photographic work and background in poetry to his energetic observations on the art of photography.

Summary:
Even before being printed in a book to narrate true life (as much as it may seem brutal or idillyc), or to recall the features of a face, since its early years photography has been “exhibited” to audiences. An history of photography narrated through exhibitions and the theory that has accompanied it has never been carried out yet. It would be very interesting, furthermore, to trace back the different aesthetic schools and communication theories that have pointed out the evolution of the history of photography and its public moments par excellence: exhibitions. Installations manifest values, ideologies, politics and aesthetics. An history of photography exhibitions would represent a different and original way of studying photography as a means of expression and contemporary communication. Nowadays photography plays its role on the art and collection market with an unexpected strength and vigour. The discovery and success of a new talent on the market depends on the common work of private galleries, public spaces and the international limelight. The activity of American and European Photography Museums, the numerous great art events and festivals – especially dedicated to the world and market of photography, art galleries that discover new talents and new ways of exhibiting them, all this contributes to a system that works perfectly well presenting new ways of expression for photography, actually widely recognized as heritage of humanity.

Summary:
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.
