Résumé:
Just as the Canada's rich past resists any singular narrative, there is no such thing as a singular Canadian food tradition. This new book explores Canada's diverse food cultures and the varied relationships that Canadians have had historically with food practices in the context of community, region, nation and beyond. Based on findings from menus, cookbooks, government documents, advertisements, media sources, oral histories, memoirs, and archival collections, Edible Histories offers a veritable feast of original research on Canada's food history and its relationship to culture and politics. This exciting collection explores a wide variety of topics, including urban restaurant culture, ethnic cuisines, and the controversial history of margarine in Canada. It also covers a broad time-span, from early contact between European settlers and First Nations through the end of the twentieth century.

Résumé:
In Sonic Somatic, the sound artist and theorist Christof Migone looks at sound art's overlap with other disciplines through its particular uses of articulation. Articulation is explored here in all of its guises: its negation as silence, its interruption in stuttering and its somatic ramifications in the human body. Migone looks at French playwright and poet Antonin Artaud's writings, with their implications of strangled speech and glossolalia; American composer Alvin Lucier's groundbreaking 1969 recording “I Am Sitting in a Room”; Erik Satie's looped composition “Vexations”; Marina Abramovic's confrontational performance “Rhythm 0”; Adrian Piper's “Untitled Performance for Max's Kansas City”; Herman Melville's short story “Bartleby, the Scrivener”; Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson's documentary film First Contact; and of course the work that most looms over this topic: John Cage's paradigm-shifting 1952 composition “4'33” .”

Résumé:
Qu'est-ce que l'art architectural ? La plupart des ouvrages de théorie de l'architecture n'émanent pas d'architectes, mais de chercheurs ou de critiques réputés qui pratiquent un autre métier, comme l'anthropologue Françoise Choay. Lorsqu'ils sont architectes, les auteurs produisent davantage des livres de recettes autobiographiques que des essais de réflexion théorique. Le statut de Rémy Butler est donc assez atypique. Son questionnement, développé pendant des décennies au contact de générations d'élèves, est alimenté par une ample connaissance de la pratique. Sa méthode, originale, consiste à interroger quelques termes constamment utilisés pour la qualifier : échelle, rythme, ornement, composition... pour dessiner la valeur symbolique de l'architecture, de Vitruve à nos jours. Humaniste, la réflexion, nourrie par des ouvrages de tous bords, s'échafaude au moyen de multiples références qui décloisonnent le champ de la réflexion architecturale classique.

Résumé:
1966 est une année importante dans l’histoire des théories architecturales. L’émulation intellectuelle à Milan est alors à son comble : philosophes, écrivains, artistes et architectes croisent leurs savoirs et produisent une œuvre collective parmi les plus influentes de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. C’est au contact de cette génération talentueuse, dont il fait partie, que Vittorio Gregotti écrira son livre le plus connu : Le territoire de l’architecture. Un texte important, savant, mais aussi difficile, fragmenté, et rendu presque inaccessible au lecteur français par l’insuffisance de sa seule traduction. Jacques Boulet, transposant en architecture un statut du texte que l’historien de l’art Julius von Schlosser définissait par Kunstlitteratur, nous en livre ici, en hommage à Vittorio Gregotti, une lecture utile en “opera aperta”, écrite en 2000 et non publiée, qui pose l’hypothèse, chez l’architecte italien, d’une écriture analogue à la projetation.

Résumé:
In ''On photographs,'' curator and writer David Campany presents an exploration of photography in 120 photographs. Proceeding not by chronology or genre or photographer, Campany’s eclectic selection unfolds according to its own logic. We see work by Henri Cartier-Bresson, William Eggleston, Helen Levitt, Garry Winogrand, Yves Louise Lawler, Andreas Gursky, and Rineke Dijkstra. There is fashion photography by William Klein, one of Vivian Maier’s contact sheets, and a carefully staged scene by Gregory Crewdson, as well as images culled from magazines and advertisements. Each of the 120 photographs is accompanied by Campany’s lucid and incisive commentary, considering the history of that image and its creator, interpreting its content and meaning, and connecting and contextualizing it with visual culture. Image by image, we absorb and appreciate Campany’s complex yet playful take on photography and its history.

Readers will discover that the book can be: A secret message—tear out a page, write a note on it for a stranger, and leave it in a public place. A recording device—have everyone you contact today write their name in the book. An instrument—create as many sounds as you can using the book, like flipping the pages fast or slapping the cover. This Is Not a Book will engage readers by having them define everything a book can be by asking, “If it’s not a book, what is it then?”—with a kaleidoscope of possible answers.

Résumé:
Dancing Horizon 1970–1982 is a comprehensive collection of the photographic work of Icelandic artist Sigurdur Gudmundsson (born 1942), the "Nordic father of Conceptual photography," focusing on a critical period in his development. In the 1970s Gudmundsson made a famous series of conceptual photographs he called Situations, in which the artist is posed with various props—for example, balancing a wooden slat on his head to make visual contact with the horizon in the background, or digging himself into the grass. Influenced by the informality and unpredictability of international Fluxus, which Gudmundsson encountered in the late 1960s as a member of the progressive Icelandic artists' collective Súm, the Situations are humorous, absurd and lyrical; they have been characterized as "visual poems." More than 80 artworks are reproduced here (many of them rarely exhibited or published), along with previously unpublished studies.

Résumé:
After the Seagram Building in New York, the Toronto-Dominion Centre in Toronto, the New National Gallery in Berlin and the Lake Shore Drive Apartment Buildings in Chicago, architect Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) designed a gas station near Montreal in 1968. This simple and utilitarian building reflects the divergent views held by experts and laymen regarding "everyday" structures, which most of us tend to ignore. In addition to exploring the interplay of form and function in the works of Mies, this film gauges our awareness of architectural language and the role of the architect in society. Observations from some superstars of the world of architecture, including Rem Koolhaas, Elizabeth Diller and Phyllis Lambert, are interlaced with anecdotes from regular people who come into daily contact with the eminent architect's work. Original soundtrack is composed by acclaimed Ramachandra Borcar (a.k.a. DJ Ram). Format: DVD.
