Summary:
In this issue of Bordercrossings, "Painting", we talk with two artists who look to history to structure the endeavours of their conceptual pursuits. For Canada’s 150th birthday, we mark the complicated anniversary with an in-depth interview with Indigenous artist Kent Monkman. Monkman, of Cree and Irish ancestry, works in a variety of media from painting, film and video work, to installation. In our interviews, Border Crossings also features the work of New York-based artist, Lisa Yuskavage, who played an influential role in the establishment of a new genre of figuration, as well as feature interviews with six young contemporary artists who all employ paint as their primary artistic medium; Toronto-based artist Patrick Cruz, Brenda Draney who lives in Edmonton, Benjamin Klein from Montreal, Los Angeles-based Sojourner Truth-Parsons, Julie Beugin in Berlin, and John Eisler in Toronto.

Summary:
After the Seagram Building in New York, the Toronto-Dominion Centre in Toronto, the New National Gallery in Berlin and the Lake Shore Drive Apartment Buildings in Chicago, architect Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) designed a gas station near Montreal in 1968. This simple and utilitarian building reflects the divergent views held by experts and laymen regarding "everyday" structures, which most of us tend to ignore. In addition to exploring the interplay of form and function in the works of Mies, this film gauges our awareness of architectural language and the role of the architect in society. Observations from some superstars of the world of architecture, including Rem Koolhaas, Elizabeth Diller and Phyllis Lambert, are interlaced with anecdotes from regular people who come into daily contact with the eminent architect's work. Original soundtrack is composed by acclaimed Ramachandra Borcar (a.k.a. DJ Ram). Format: DVD.
