Résumé:
Volatile or Collapsed Space presents architectural installations by architect Sabine von Fischer. Working since 2004 under the name "Diaphanarch", Sabine von Fischer transfers terms like "diaphanous" and "prismatic" into space and tests them within. She understands diaphanous architecture as an experiment that undermines technical, aesthetic and economic conditions of space. Her works, in the form of drawings and texts – range from concept and criticism to construction. Further, they deal with visual versus audible space and the polarity between mass and horizon. Documented in drawings and photographs, works included in the book are the metal mesh and foam-core installation "Sonic Barriers" (awarded with the Swiss Art Prize 2004) on the exploration of interferences in sound and image as well as a work made from colored caoutschouk, corrugated cardboard and tubes, that integrates theoretical constructs on the event horizon into ist wavy material shape.

Working primarily within the media of sculpture and drawing, Stephen Talasnik produces sprawling, fantastical, architectural landscapes. Executed with detail and precision, these works open up unexpected and unfolding worlds, which seem to exist outside of defined time and space. Within these worlds, viewers are invited to imagine endless spatial and fictive possibilities. The book includes panoramic reproductions of drawings and sculptural installations, alongside essays by Andreas Schalhorn and Michael Sorkin. Published to accompany the exhibition held at the Battat Gallery, Montréal, September 7 to October 23, 2010.

Le monde des communications visuelles est en constante transformation. Que ce soit par ses techniques, son approche sa réflexion, ou ses supports, cette évolution soulève plusieurs enjeux. En tant que designers graphiques, nous nous devons d’être au centre du questionnement et de nous positionner. Par tradition, certains affronteront la transition, d’autres se joindront à la progression et certains devanceront le changement. Dans tous les cas, la communication visuelle sera forcément influencée par les différentes approches.

Résumé:
MAP (Manual of Architectural Possibilities) is a publication of projects by David Garcia Studio, that arise through research into territories, which can be concrete or abstract, but always put into question. Map is not a magazine (it only has two pages) and is not a book (it is issued twice a year). Map presents itself as a folded poster (A1) where information is immediate, dense and objective in one side, and architectural and subjective on the other. Map is a guide to potential actions in the built environment, a folded encyclopedia of the possible, a topography of ideas, or a poster on the wall.

Walking the McGill Precinct, trying to commit to some style of methodology for a book took time, until the concept of the chronological acquisition by McGill gave the book its definitive shape.

Résumé:
Canada is a country whose national narrative is difficult to define, even for Canadians. This question is further complicated when looking at emerging artists who have grown up under intense globalization. In Canada, specific identities are difficult to pinpoint and, when they are, they are often portrayed as problematic stereotypes bound up in a colonialist history. “Alternorthern” was conceived in the tension that exists between nationalism, globalization, and individualism: the exhibition is a product of both cultural values and cultural hybridism. The nine artists in this exhibition function similarly in that they use their own identities to make gestures that transgress time and space. Each artist in the exhibition is Canadian, yet each creates work that speaks to issues pertinent to both Canadian and global geographic and political landscapes. The exhibition will open during the 2010 Olympics, when many of the stereotypes, symbols, themes, and political workings of Canada will be disseminated into the U.S. media. As Canada is in the throes of presenting its tourist identity on the international stage, this exhibition can function as a way of transgressing this identity. Thus, the curators see this exhibition not as a response to the event of the Olympics but as an opportunity to subvert and play with cultural dialogue that will exist during this time.

This publication is an initial attempt to examine the trajectory of the X symbol in underground music culture. While the X is broadly associated with the punk scene—in particular, straight edge hardcore—the symbol contains a wide range of often-contradictory meanings. This document presents our ongoing research; we welcome comments, corrections, and criticism.
