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?

Résumé:
Ce livre réunissant une quarantaine de voix est le premier à retracer la longue et riche trajectoire du Festival TransAmériques. Rare ouvrage de réflexion sur les arts scéniques ancré au Québec, on y retrouve des manifestes artistiques, des débats esthétiques et politiques, des récits et témoignages d’artistes et d’observateurs de la scène d’ici et d'ailleurs. La notion même de festival est interrogée et bousculée, pour mieux comprendre ce qu’un tel événement rend possible. Ces prises de parole sur l’art sont ponctuées par des photographies de toutes les époques, de la première édition du Festival de théâtre des Amériques en 1985 au Festival TransAmériques de 2018. Avec entre autres Romeo Castellucci, Evelyne de la Chenelière, Olivier Choinière, Marie Chouinard, Benoît Lachambre, Catherine Lalonde, Christian Lapointe, Louise Lecavalier, Robert Lepage, Alain Platel et Yves Sioui Durand.

Résumé:
At 95 years of age, Françoise Sullivan still works in her studio most every day. From her participation in the 1948 publication Refus Global - a radical statement by Quebec avant garde artists of the time - she has broken through boundaries as both an artist and a woman and her creations throughout the decades include paintings, sculptures, photographs, performance and dance. This retrospective monograph highlights the key role she has played in the history of modern and contemporary art in Canada. In addition to presenting the artist's diverse and multidisciplinary practice, the authors offer an in-depth exploration of some of the milestones in her career. The various styles and approaches adopted by Sullivan over the years are contextualized with the help of a large number of archival documents, both personal and professional. As a whole, the publication provides a fascinating portrait of a singular artist's trajectory through several decades of the changing nature of art.

Résumé:
Guido Molinari (1933-2004) was one of the greatest Canadian artists of the 20th century. A largely self-taught painter who went on to exhibit to critical acclaim for over 50 years, he maintained a fierce independence in the face of the many schools and movements that marked the early years of abstract art. Citing his greatest influences as the European Piet Mondrian and the American Jackson Pollock, Guido Molinari produced works that perhaps only a Montreal artist could have created at that time. This substantial monograph provides a first-ever overview of the artist and his work.
