Résumé:
In an age of unprecedented human impact on the planet, certain countries stand out for their privileged positions and the complexity of their relationships with nature. Today, Canada's environmental record is among the poorest when compared to other wealthy nations, a fact that suggests ambivalence, and the actions of competing interests, which are most often exposed in moments of disorder and disregard for the unexpected consequences of managing the country's seemingly endless bounty. The 15 case studies presented here reframe Canada since 1945, and these surprising events are grounded in conversations about cultural myths and the legal environment, changing ideas of natural resources and environmental risk, indigenous engagement with environmentalism and development, and the impacts of the environmentalist movement.

Résumé:
Il s'agit ici d'une contre-histoire distillant quelques faits déroutants et autres contradictions qui se dissimulent derrière le concept dominant de progrès; une notion qui a subjugué notre imagination et a défini notre relation à l'environnement. Dans une époque caractérisée par l'ampleur sans précédent de l'impact de l'activité humaine sur la planète, nous devons réexaminer les hypothèses fondamentales et les préjugés qui président à nos actions et les justifient. Il faut inventer de nouveaux récits, et le cas du Canada n'est qu'un exemple parmi d'autres des contradictions frappantes entre une vision idéalisée de la nature et une réalité qui s'avère complexe et troublante. Le livre qui accompagne l’exposition (à l’affiche de novembre 2016 jusqu’à avril 2017) présente quinze études de cas, replacés dans leur contexte grâce à cinq entrevues.

Résumé:
The 1960s and 1970s were the heroic age of the architectural "little magazine". During this period even commercial periodicals were willing to include theoretical discourse as they catered to a profession confronted by radical social change. These essays by nine international architectural scholars are from the Proceedings of the International Colloquium held in 2004 at the Canadian Centre for Architecture. They enrich our understanding of a format which monopolized the space for professional debate about what mattered most in architecture at the time. These contributions give architectural periodicals a central place in the historical debates on the period with particular emphasis on material production, intellectual contribution, and critical reception. Six essays in English and three essays in French with a bilingual introduction. Neuf historiens en architecture examinent l’architecture radicale dans la presse parallèle des années 1960 et 1970. Ces périodiques novateurs ont été marqués par les idées expérimentales et les designs avant-gardistes qui ont grandement influencées le discours architectural de la période. Actes du colloque tenu en 2004 au Centre Canadien d'Architecture. Six textes en anglais, trois textes en français avec une introduction bilingue.

Résumé:
The Cubist movement, which revolutionized the art world in the early twentieth century, was largely restricted to painting and sculpture in Western Europe. However, in Bohemia, Cubism achieved remarkable heights not only in painting and sculpture, but also in architecture and the applied arts. The startling work created by the Czech avant-garde of the early 1900s has rarely been seen outside of Eastern Europe. ''Czech cubism'' presents a collection of architecture, furniture, and decorative arts through more than 500 photographs and drawings. Essays by nine noted scholars provide historical and critical background for the work.

Résumé:
This book unpacks the comprehensive Gordon Matta-Clark collection at the CCA (CP138), opening it up to provisional readings from different points of view. Yann Chateigné reorganizes Matta-Clark’s library into areas of inquiry, from alchemy to psychoanalysis, as a framework for gathering traces—written and drawn—of his thinking. Hila Peleg reassembles hours of discarded film footage, challenging the notion of documentation and returning to view the physical and social contexts—the relational space—of Matta-Clark’s interventions. And from hundreds of travel photographs, Kitty Scott constructs a panorama of Matta-Clark’s visual notes on the world around him—a foil to his artworks. In foregrounding seemingly incidental parts of the collection, these studies manifest an exploratory way of working with archives, by which selecting, presenting, and writing are processes of ongoing research. Rather than synthesize, CP138 Gordon Matta-Clark: Readings of the archive by Yann Chateigné, Hila Peleg, and Kitty Scott extends the scope of what constitutes Matta-Clark’s body of work and thus the physical and intellectual terrain within which to situate it.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage déballe l’exhaustive collection Gordon Matta-Clark au CCA (CP138), en l’ouvrant à des interprétations provisoires issues de points de vue différents. Yann Chateigné réorganise la bibliothèque de Matta-Clark pour y recueillir les traces – écrites et dessinées – de sa pensée au travers de champs d’investigation structurants, de l’alchimie à la psychanalyse. Rassemblant des heures de séquences de film rejetées, Hila Peleg remet en question la notion de documentation et ramène à la vue les contextes physiques et sociaux – l’espace relationnel – des interventions de Matta-Clark. Et à partir de centaines de photographies de voyage, Kitty Scott dresse, en contrepoint aux oeuvres de Matta-Clark, un panorama de ses notes visuelles sur le monde qui l’entoure. En mettant au premier plan des éléments apparemment secondaires de la collection, ces études manifestent une approche exploratoire des archives, dans laquelle la sélection, la présentation et l’écriture relèvent d’un processus de recherche continue. Plus qu’une synthèse, CP138 Gordon Matta-Clark : Les archives revues par Yann Chateigné, Hila Peleg et Kitty Scott propose d’élargir la portée de ce qui constitue l’oeuvre de Matta-Clark et ainsi le terrain physique et intellectuel dans lequel elle se situe.
