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:
Les oeuvres artistiques de Jocelyn Philibert, des photographies comme des sculptures, ont une présence matérielle forte et lumineuse qui suprend toujours ! Les oeuvres sont réunies dans la publication, particulièrement des photographies plus récentes de l’artiste, sont rendues avec beaucoup de puissance et de profondeur, et il en résulte un livre richement illustré qui se prête à des consultations renouvelées ! Pour rendre compte du parcours de ce photographe aux images remarquables, nous avons fait appel à trois auteur(e)s qui ont démontré beaucoup de sensibilité envers la pratique de l’artiste et de profondeur dans leur réflexion. Valérie Litalien remonte le fil du parcours de l’artiste jusqu’à son origine, démontrant à quel point ses portraits photographiques d’arbres s’inscrivent dans une continuité naturelle. Bernard Schütze se penche quant à lui sur l’ambivalence du réel et du faux qui prévaut dans le travail de l’artiste, situant ainsi son analyse dans un contexte philosophique et historique de l’art. De son côté, l’auteur Marcel Blouin fait part des réflexions suscitées chez lui par les photographies de Philibert, des oeuvres qu’il a pu côtoyer de près.

Résumé:
Sous la direction d’Eve-Lyne Beaudry, conservatrice de l’art contemporain (1950-2000) du musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, ce livre de 280 pages, largement illustré, contient 5 essais, un entretien avec Ken Dryden et une chronologie détaillée qui n’avait, à ce jour, jamais été compilée. On dit de Serge Lemoyne (1941-1998) qu’il a ébranlé la scène artistique québécoise et contribué de manière significative à une remise en question fondamentale du langage des arts visuels dans le Québec des années 1960, une période parmi les plus effervescentes de notre histoire de l’art. Instigateur des premiers happenings au Québec, à l’instar des artistes new-yorkais dont il admirait le travail, il adopte l’irrévérence esthétique que lui inspirent les Néo-dadaïstes, s’aventure dans l’univers « pop » et s’intéresse à l’art de participation et à la création collective. C’est avec conviction que, sa vie durant, il se porte à la défense de l’accessibilité de l’art pour tous et s’évertue à mieux faire reconnaître le travail des artistes visuels du Québec qu’il considérait comme laissés pour compte. Sa foi était grande envers l’art comme facteur d’émancipation sociale et comme élément fondateur d’une identité québécoise forte et rassembleuse. Si une part considérable de sa production s’est développée autour des éléments de son propre quotidien, il se plaisait aussi à explorer ce qui rassemblait les gens, pour rejoindre un pan plus vaste de la société et faire tomber certaines divisions : la représentation des héros nationaux du Canadien de Montréal – rare trait d’union entre les anglophones et les francophones de l’époque – permet de réunir, encore aujourd’hui, les diverses tranches de la société autour de l’appréciation des arts visuels.

Résumé:
Bringing together fifteen scholars of art and culture, ''Unsettling Canadian art history'' addresses the visual and material culture of settler colonialism, enslavement, and racialized diasporas in the contested white settler state of Canada. This collection offers new avenues for scholarship on art, archives, and creative practice by rethinking histories of Canadian colonialisms from Black, Indigenous, racialized, feminist, queer, trans, and Two-Spirit perspectives. Writing across many positionalities, contributors offer chapters that disrupt colonial archives of art and culture, excavating and reconstructing radical Black, Indigenous, and racialized diasporic creation and experience. Exploring the racist frameworks that continue to erase histories of violence and resistance, this book imagines the expansive possibilities of a decolonial future. ''Unsettling Canadian art history'' affirms the importance of collaborative conversations and work in the effort to unsettle scholarship in Canadian art and culture.

Résumé:
Never shying away from controversy, Obomsawin’s films have played a critical role in exposing ongoing systemic bias towards Indigenous populations—from fishing rights and education to health care and treaty violations. Obomsawin is also a graphic artist, and she incorporates her often dream-inspired etchings and prints into many of her films. This volume includes illuminating essays exploring Obomsawin’s practice and mission as well as personal commentary from collaborators, archival materials, and photographs from the filmmaker’s personal life and professional exploits. As Obomsawin closes in on her ninth decade of life—and fifth decade behind the camera—this beautifully illustrated record of her astounding body of work and tireless efforts on behalf of Indigenous peoples and culture is an inspiring celebration of the power of film to dramatically change the course of history.

Résumé:
Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Jack Chambers: Light, Spirit, Time, Place and Life is the first major volume to be published on the work of Jack Chambers, one of Canada’s most recognized and broadly influential artists. Featuring a selection of some 100 works including paintings, drawings, prints, and films, and materials from the artist’s extensive papers, the book focuses on Chambers’s own unique brand of “perceptive realism,” his use of light, place, time, and spirit, all of which were central to his work. A brilliant draughtsman and remarkable painter, Chambers spend his early adulthood travelling and studying in Europe, where he met Pablo Picasso. When he returned to his hometown of London, Ontario, in 1961, he found himself at the centre of a vibrant art scene that would become the backdrop for his films and the surrealist-influenced works based on his dream-like evocations of memory.
