Résumé:
Daniel Young and Christian Giroux have been making art together for nearly ten years. Their sculpture, public art and film installations are the product of an ongoing conversation concerning mid-century modernity, and the production of space and the built environment. This first in-depth monograph provides a career overview as well as an exploration of the duo's latest and most emblematic project, Beta Boole - sculptures involving Ikea furniture. The term Boole comes from the 3D computer modeling operation of adding and subtracting simple forms to generate more complex ones. These pieces of furniture provide both a recognizable and vernacular set of domestic forms, which perversely realize the Modernist goal of universal design through the machinations of globalization. Brancusi, Gordon Matta-Clark, and the Japanese architectural office SANAA are among their critical influences.

Résumé:
Le déménagement (le rapt, diront ses opposants) de la fontaine La Joute, la plus imposante sculpture de Riopelle, du Parc olympique vers le quartier des affaires, souleva un « débat sans précédent au Québec » autour d'une oeuvre d'art public. Non sans raison: peaufiné depuis cinq ans par les déménageurs, au premier chef la ministre-députée du comté qui allait pourtant être dépouillé de l'oeuvre, le projet était secret. Il aura fallu la maladresse d'un de ses artisans, en mars 2002, pour le révéler à un public stupéfait et mettre le feu aux poudres. Ce sont les coulisses de cette affaire, exemple de l'arrogance des pouvoirs publics, que dévoile la présente enquête, en plus de raconter l'histoire tragico-rocambolesque de La Joute. Au fil des pages, on découvrira aussi d'autres folles histoires, nées, celles-là, des susceptibilités du public, confronté à une oeuvre parachutée sans préavis dans le voisinage. Quoi qu'il en soit, tant ces susceptibilités parfois explosives du public que l'arrogance des autorités devraient nous inciter à réfléchir à des formes nouvelles de démocratie patrimoniale.
