Summary:
This book accompanies Geoffrey Farmer’s installation "The Blacking Factory" which comprised two interrelated works: a sculptural installation in the form of a large truck trailer, and a film work depicting a window of the Contemporary Art Gallery shattering from an explosive concussion. With these works, Farmer utilizes the technological expertise of the film industry to create analogies between increasingly sophisticated mechanics of display and the artifice behind the social production of meaning and value. The truck trailer is fabricated in mimicry of those used by movie production companies — an increasingly common sight on the streets of Vancouver — and alludes to the transportation of such necessities as props, lighting systems and costumes necessary to the creation of illusions. The catalogue includes texts by Nanaimo-based poet and critic Peter Culley and exhibition curator Reid Shier.

Summary:
Over the past thirty years, world-renowned Swiss architect Peter Zumthor has opened up on his work in numerous interviews, conversations, lectures, and other talks, offering copious insights into the contexts of his work and his self-conception as an artist. Many of these interviews and talks have been recorded, yet most have also been to this point unreleased. "Peter Zumthor Talks About His Work" pairs the renowned architect with celebrated film director and documentarian Christoph Schaub for a lavish biographic film collage that draws from the interviews and talks. It spans all of Zumthor’s career, from the 1980s to the present, and explores his entire body of award-winning work. It also introduces viewers to Zumthor the person, showing how he has evolved over three decades yet remains much the same man.
