'What People Do for Money' is published on the occasion of the 11th edition of Manifesta, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art.

Summary:
'The Exhibitionist: Journal on Exhibition Making' is an anthology of the first 12 issues of the journal about contemporary curating that bears the same name. Established in 2009 as a forum for critical reflection on exhibition-making and curatorial practice, The Exhibitionist has always defined itself as “by curators, for curators.” Modeled after the iconic French film journal Cahiers du cinéma, The Exhibitionist has served a critical role in examining current curatorial practices by focusing specifically on the exhibition format as a site of experimentation and inquiry. The Exhibitionist has historicized, analyzed and critiqued a phenomenon it is itself symptomatic of—the rise of the curator since the 1960s, the ensuing explosion of curatorial creativity and the growing fascination with the discipline of curating.

Summary:
Roger D'Astous est un des plus importants architectes canadiens du 20e siècle. Élève de Frank Lloyd Wright, il oeuvra toute sa vie à fonder une architecture nordique. Cet artiste rebelle et flamboyant fut une superstar des sixties, puis tomba en disgrâce avant de renaître au crépuscule du siècle. Auteur de deux symboles montréalais, l'hôtel Château Champlain et le Village olympique pour les Jeux de 1976, ses résidences sont des oeuvres d'arts sensuelles et ses églises d’étranges vaisseaux spatiaux. Pour la première fois à l'écran, ce film part à la découverte des projets exceptionnels de Roger D’Astous. À travers ses clients et collaborateurs, et par un usage original d’archives inédites, “Roger D'Astous” est un voyage exalté à travers un géant de l'architecture moderne.

Summary:
In 1952, Fred Herzog emigrated from Germany to Canada, and quickly found work as a medical photographer in Vancouver. But outside the lab, Herzog also devoted himself to what was, at the time, an unusual and even frowned-upon medium: color photography. Laboring away as a virtually anonymous pioneer in this field, Herzog was quietly documenting the streets of Vancouver: its supermarkets, gas stations, bars, urban scenery and above all its working class culture. Herzog used slide film to make his photographs, which limited his ability to exhibit them and further marginalized his work; but in recent decades, happily, this color pioneer has drawn great acclaim, and this volume, the largest Herzog monograph yet published, does justice to his rich oeuvre.

Summary:
Though known mostly for his films, the German-Hungarian photographer Andorvon Barsy's (1899 - 1965) began in 1930 to take dynamic photos of the harbors of Rotterdam, aiming his camera at cranes and bridges to capture a dynamic image of modern steel construction. This groundbreaking exhibition catalog commemorates the first public showing ever of these vital, almost-abstract photos from the eye of an early modern artist. Von Barsy's best-known movies (such as 1928's De stad die nooit rust and 1930's experimental Hoogstraat) are featured at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2011. The impeccably printed catalog includesaround 100 photographs, with an introduction by art historian and critic Frits Gierstberg, head of exhibitions at the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam.

Summary:
''Time within Time'' is both a diary and a notebook, maintained by Tarkovsky from 1970 until his death. Intense and intimate, it offers reflections on Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, and others. He writes movingly of his family, especially his father, Arseniy Tarkovsky, whose poems appear in his films. He records haunting dreams in detail and speaks of the state of society and the future of art, noting significant world events and purely personal dramas along with fascinating accounts of his own filmmaking. Rounding out this volume are Tarkovsky's plans and notes for his stage version of ''Hamlet''; a detailed proposal for a film adaptation of Dostoyevsky's ''The Idiot''; and a glimpse of the more public Tarkovsky answering questions put to him by interviewers.

Summary:
This first issue of the JoCA, published on Mid-Summer's Eve 2018, somewhat deliberately brings together a series of themes that might be loosely described as portraiture. The question of architecture as autobiography reveals in fact that the civic character of Pleznik's cemetery is the fruit of a profoundly emotional and empathetic imagination. Tom de Paor's Palace cinema is not only the work of a powerfully situational memory, but also somewhere where the extreme atmospheric character of Galway merges with the dream world of film: an expanded threshold that frames the town as a subject of contemplation. These, and the other projects, poems and essays in issue 1, locate creative energy in the city, in the everyday world of work and human meaning.
