Résumé:
This book accompanies and exhibition of the work of Vancouver artist, Scott McFarland, whose photographs are highlighted by meticulous staging that document a discrete range of subjects in serial format. The exhibition at the Contemporary Art Gallery concentrated on one of his ongoing projects : a large body of photographs detailing the interior and exterior of a rural cabin on BC’s Sunshine Coast. McFarland’s naturalistic staging and close cropping emphasized and valorized objects and personal artefacts accumulating within the cabin, and stress an ongoing relationship between the site and its depiction.

Résumé:
Balancing environmental, social, economic, and aesthetic concerns, sustainable design has the potential to transform everyday life and is already reshaping the fields of architecture and product design. "Beyond green : toward a sustainable art" explores the influence of this design philosophy on an emerging generation of international artists who combine a fresh aesthetic sensibility with a constructively critical approach to the production, dissemination, and display of art. This catalogue's exhibition includes existing works, commissions, and previously presented work that has been “recycled,” spotlighting ways in which artists are building paths to new forms of practice. The exhibition is curated by Stephanie Smith, curator at the Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago, and is co-organized by iCI and the Smart Museum. It is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with artist interviews, and essays by Smith and by design historian Victor Margolin.

Résumé:
Un coup d'œil attentif aux murs des grandes villes suffit à s'en convaincre : l'art a conquis la rue. Malgré l'interdiction proclamée par la République, affiches, pochoirs ou graffitis rehaussent de couleurs l'environnement des citadins. Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau. Depuis quarante ans, des plasticiens questionnent la ville et y exposent leurs œuvres. Aujourd'hui cependant, une nouvelle génération d'artistes, dont beaucoup ont grandi le Posca à la main, revisite l'esthétique de la rue. Après l'effervescence des années 80 et la répression des années 90, cette " nouvelle vague " marie les techniques, multiplie les supports et développe un langage plastique original en marge des circuits officiels. C'est à un panorama de l'art urbain que In Situ nous convie. L'ouvrage revient sur l'apparition et le développement de cette mouvance foisonnante et dresse un état des lieux des pratiques. Les artistes y racontent leur parcours, expliquent leur démarche, analysent et commentent un mode d'expression dont la vitalité séduit les citadins.

Résumé:
Vera Röhm’s name comes up in discussions of contemporary constructive art as an unorthodox example of the sculptural approach. Since the beginning of her artistic career she has been concerned with a repertoire of elementary geometric shapes. Her approach plays upon different kinds of distortion: incisions, cross-sections, mutilation and restoration/reconstruction; which bring about an increased richness of form and complexity, and challenge the viewer’s imagination. Metamorphosis of materials in "Integrations", multiplication of shapes in "Shadow Objects", not to forget her photographs of the Jaipur Observatory – all of these offer unexpected angles on the real world. When her works include written words – as is the case with her cube-series bearing the inscription "Night Is The Shadow of The Earth" – this can be associated with Concrete Poetry. Her work in general also falls within the tradition of Constructivism, although there is an almost temperamental inclination to geometrical form, which is always manifest in the rich variations of shape that inform her sculptures. This first comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work in the English language is accompanied by essays by the poet and critic Eugen Gomringer and the art historian Stephen Bann.
