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.

Résumé:
Imagining Resistance: Visual Culture and Activism in Canada offers strategies for reading alternative culture in Canada from the 1940s through to the present. Alongside, authors consider case studies as diverse as the anti-war work done by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in Montreal and Toronto, recent exhibitions of activist art in Canadian institutions, radical films, performance art, protests against the Olympics, interventions into anti-immigrant sentiment in Montreal, and work by Iroquois photographer Jeff Thomas. Taken together, the writings in Imagining Resistance touch on the local, the global, the national, and post-national to imagine a very different landscape of cultural practice in Canada.

This launched Imagevirus, a project of paintings, sculptures, videos, posters, and exhibitions that investigated the term AIDS as both word and image, using the mechanism of viral transmission. The Imagevirus spread like a virus, producing an image epidemic in urban spaces from Manhattan to Sydney. Bordowitz explores the virus as idea, as tactic, and as identity.

Résumé:
It is with optimism, and a pioneering spirit that a man carries a cane and top hat into the wilderness. Like Philip Guston's "Poor Richard" drawings, the figures in Jason Logan's paintings are variations on an allegorical character: a man somewhere between a captain of industry and prospector, panning for gold along the cold line between the United States and Canada.(...)

Résumé:
It is with optimism, and a pioneering spirit that a man carries a cane and top hat into the wilderness. Like Philip Guston's "Poor Richard" drawings, the figures in Jason Logan's paintings are variations on an allegorical character: a man somewhere between a captain of industry and prospector, panning for gold along the cold line between the United States and Canada. However the images convey respectability that is fraying and desperate. Logan's shabby magicians, hopeful gold diggers, greedy oilmen and gentlemen loggers illustrate the eternal pairing-off of reason and nature, set in the Canadian Pacific northwest.
