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:
“In The Hunting Field is a collection of encounters that uses the figure of the hunter-trapper as a figurative and literal approach for looking at contemporary understandings of animal, nature, and environment in an ecological age where entities collide at scales massively distributed in space and time.” The figure of the hunter-trapper is used to draw attention to a significant intertwining with the biological world that shapes bodies and technology. It is not meant as an exhaustive signifier for a linear history but instead as an opportunity to survey encounters that shape these understandings and so inform our place in the world. Perhaps a reinterpretation of environmental aesthetics can provide openings for alternate shapes of future encounters…

Résumé:
In the guise of diva Miss Chief Eagle Testikle, Kenneth Monkman takes camp aesthetics to new extremes of political disturbance. Setting queer against straight, and both these against his dual identity as a Canadian of Cree descent, Monkman aka Miss Chief revisits the way key events in North American history have been represented. Recent performances and installations featured outlandish versions of objects like Indian moccasins in museum displays, videos with tragicomic takes on Indians' as the other to colonists, and Monkman's own extraordinary paintings. Based on masterpieces of landscape and history art, these expose the repressions and fantasies grounding narratives of the winning of the West. Interpellations will be of exceptional interest to art historians and all those concerned with North American aboriginal civilization. Essays from acclaimed art historians Richard Hill, Jonathan Katz, and Todd Porterfield address issues central to Monkman's activity: among others, absurdist tactics, alternative models of time and history, the interplay of identity, sexuality, and sovereignty. A camp design with gilt-edge pages and ultra-rich color illustrations makes this book an ideal vehicle for presenting Miss Chief's rampages through art history.
