Summary:
Working with ideas of place and the imaginary, three Canadian francophone artists create works that portray ephemeral places that exist only in the imagination. Isabelle Hayeur's photographs are manipulated to include fictional elements, using lies to tell the truth about gentrification, complicating perceptions of an iconic place. Marie-Josee Laframboise transforms site-specific installations made of undulating iridescent netting into imaginary landscapes. Meditating on the temporal character of a site, Lise Beaudry photographs the surfaces of frozen lakes as white abstractions. The accompanying essay explores the viewer's experience of ethereal and ambiguous environments predicated on no place.

Summary:
This is a conceptual journey through Joep van Lieshout’s radical thought experiments. The art and design produced by the artist’s studio go beyond aesthetic objects, becoming functional tools for an alternative way of life. The book is like an architectural blueprint for an imaginary house. Readers can wander from one room to another, where each space has specific, logical, aesthetical, surprising, and also sometimes unsettling elements. In this way the works are a test – an invitation to look past the initial shock the viewer might experience. This imaginary house does not tell us how to live, but teaches that we must consciously think about the way we organise our lives.
