Toronto artist Shary Boyle engages in drawing, painting, sculpture, audio-visual performance and installations to explore human psychological and emotional states through a fictional fantasy.

Résumé:
Les artistes dont le travail est évoqué ou cité dans les dessins du Livre noir de l’art conceptuel ne sont pas tous strictement conceptuels, mais il est notable que la plupart de ceux qui l’étaient ne le sont plus. Ces dessins s’adressent à tous ceux qui les envient d’avoir réussi à arrêter et voudraient les imiter. Ils ont pour objectif de donner au lecteur une idée du pétrin dans lequel sont pris les artistes aujourd’hui. Il y a une histoire drôle qui pose la différence entre un type qui tombe du vingtième étage – AAAAAaaa… Paf! – et celui qui tombe du deuxième étage – Paf… aaaAAAAA! L’ordre dans lequel est donné le palindrome a son importance. De même que la deuxième chute n’est grotesque qu’en comparaison avec celle, fatale, qui la précède, les générations d’artistes qui succèdent au grand bazar conceptuel ne peuvent ignorer les questionnements autoréflexifs d’un art retourné sur lui-même. Si certains considèrent cette situation comme une impasse formelle, trop sévèrement prescriptive, et choisissent de faire demi-tour, d’autres s’obstinent, sondant fébrilement les murs à la recherche d’un improbable passage.

Résumé:
Marcel Dzama's 2011 films A Game of Chess and Death Disco Dance revealed fascinating new developments in the artist's iconography and range of media--perhaps most notably in his use of puppets and dioramas, which added more playful qualities to his imagery of conflict and terror, and underscored his dialogue with modernist artists such as Duchamp, Man Ray and Oskar(...)

Résumé:
Marcel Dzama's 2011 films A Game of Chess and Death Disco Dance revealed fascinating new developments in the artist's iconography and range of media--perhaps most notably in his use of puppets and dioramas, which added more playful qualities to his imagery of conflict and terror, and underscored his dialogue with modernist artists such as Duchamp, Man Ray and Oskar Schlemmer. This volume, published for Dzama's exhibitions at Sies + Höke and Kunstverein Braunschweig, reproduces a wealth of new work, including images, stage sets, puppets, dioramas and sculptures from the films; a suite of ten drawings called Forgotten Terrorists (2008-2011), that draw on a photograph of the Palestinian terrorist and hijacker Leila Khaled; and other recent drawings, such as "Pepper Spray Saturday" (2011), an interpretation of the already iconic image of policeman John Pike pepper spraying Occupy protesters at University of California Davis.

Résumé:
Collaborating with a varied cast of characters--beekeepers, mycologists, astronomers, physicists, bees, cats, snowballs, tango dancers, passersby, plants, curators, hotel porters--Canadian artist Diane Borsato creates works that propose eccentric models for relating to one another and to the world. For her project "Italian Lessons," she attempted to learn Italian by learning salsa, physics, first aid and beekeeping by way of Italian instruction. In "Terrestrial/Celestial," Borsato coordinated an unconventional exchange of observational practices--from opposite ends of the scale--between amateur mycologists and amateur astronomers. In a new work, "Walking Studio," Borsato proposes a different space for research and reflection with her mobile field study lab, comprised of a study center and fully functional sauna. This overview is published to accompany a solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of York University in 2012.

Résumé:
Au cours des vingt dernières années, la circulation transnationale de l'information culturelle a connu une croissance notable à travers diverses formes de l'activité artistique. Cette activité a vu le jour simultanément à l'apparition des modèles néolibéraux de commerce mondial et la création de systèmes d'échanges économiques et culturels interreliés. Cette circulation et ses rapports possibles avec les structures économiques et culturelles de la mondialisation souvlèvent des questions fondamentales au sujet des modèles sur lesquels se fondent ces activités artistiques et sur le statut de l'information dès qu'elle est présentée dans de nouveaux lieux culturels. Les artistes prennent-ils maintenant part à une nouvelle forme professionnalisée de tourisme artistique et d'ethnographie amateur? Et quels sont les liens entre tourisme, cueillette et réception de l'information et l'exotique en art contemporain?
