Résumé:
This catalogue takes the reader on a remarkable journey via the legends, themes and worlds that have shaped Canada’s cultural heritage. One hundred and fifty works in all media and created from time immemorial to present day are featured in full page colour plates and foldouts. This range of works documents and celebrates the magnetic north, inhabited landscapes, the dignity of labour, Canadians abroad, and the emergence of Inuit art. Central to the publication is a new approach to telling the history of Indigenous visual art with outstanding historical art objects by Indigenous artists, at times in dialogue with those by settler Canadians, while at others, reflecting a distinct Indigenous path.

Résumé:
Patkau Architects is known for creating innovative, sculptural buildings that convey artistic expression through the purposeful use of materials. "Patkau Architects: material operations" reveals the architectural philosophy and techniques that drive the firm's extraordinary constructions. Working directly with materials'bending them, breaking them, feeling their texture, mass, and strength provides a depth of understanding that visual observation alone cannot. The firm's creations demonstrate how attending to and playing with specific materials yields a refreshed and expanded perspective on the possible. "Patkau Architects: material operations" investigates how the qualities of commonly available construction materials and unconventional techniques produce buildable, expressive forms with inherent structural capacities and evocative identities.

Résumé:
MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, have an international reputation. Producing a wide range of projects both in Canada and further afield, they work in a sophisticated modern vernacular idiom, drawing inspiration from a rich local heritage of building types and reinterpreting them according to the best practices of 21st-century architecture. It is above all for their dignified and beautiful houses perched on the wild, rocky coasts of Nova Scotia that the firm is recognized. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this remarkable body of work is based around a number of plan types that answer to the particular local climate: open to the sun but sheltered from the winds, and built using traditional materials that are allowed to weather, these dwellings embody the architects’ engagement with their unique surroundings and material culture. This new monograph covers MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects’ complete work. Introductions by renowned architectural writers set the scene, while individual projects are illustrated through evocative photographs and detailed plans and drawings. What emerges is a celebration of an architecture that is both practical and deeply poetic.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage présente l’œuvre de l’artiste Carl Trahan, deuxième lauréat du Prix MNBAQ en art actuel. Ce prix bisannuel, décerné grâce à la collaboration de RBC Fondation, comprend une bourse de 10 000 dollars, une exposition et une publication monographiques, ainsi que l’acquisition d’œuvres à hauteur de 50 000 dollars pour la collection du Musée. Carl Trahan vit à Montréal et expose son travail multidisciplinaire depuis 1994. À partir de 2005, son intérêt pour les contextes linguistiques étrangers l’a amené à réaliser des projets de résidence dans divers pays européens, dans le cadre desquels il a considéré la transposition du langage dans un contexte visuel. Le livre comprend un essai d’introduction à la démarche de l’artiste (contenant une analyse des œuvres) écrit par Bernard Lamarche, conservateur de l’art actuel au MNBAQ, un riche portfolio mettant en vedette les acquisitions réalisées dans le cadre du prix ainsi qu’un très bel essai de nature philosophique écrit par Mathilde Bois (étudiante à la maîtrise) de même qu’une liste des œuvres présentées et une biobibliographie de l’artiste. Il accompagne l’exposition organisée par le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec et présentée du 6 avril au 24 septembre 2017. Le Prix MNBAQ en art actuel sera remis tous les deux ans à un artiste québécois ayant plus de dix ans de carrière. Tandis que le premier Prix MNBAQ avait été remis à l’artiste Diane Morin en 2015, cet ouvrage sera le second d’une série de quatre, dont les prochains tomes paraîtront en 2019 et en 2021.

Résumé:
Correcting an absence of writing about contemporary feminist work by Canadian artists, ''Desire Change'' considers the resurgence of feminist art, thought, and practice in the past decade by examining artworks that respond to themes of diversity and desire. Contributors address the desire for change through three central frames: how feminist art has significantly contributed to the complex understanding of gender as it intersects with sexuality and race; the necessary critique of patriarchy and institutions as they relate to colonization within the Canadian nation-state; and the ways in which contemporary critiques are formed and expressed. The resulting collection addresses art through an activist lens to examine intersectional feminism, decolonization, and feminist institution building in a Canadian context.

Résumé:
n 1950, a young Vancouver architectural apprentice was handed a small house project that his boss was too busy to take on. The apprentice, Ron Thom, took the simple plan and rectangular foundation that had been roughed in, and transformed it into a groundbreaking work of architecture that gained national fame. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra, but using local wood and paying careful attention to its verdant oceanside setting, Thom created a landmark for the new architectural movement known as West Coast Modernism. The client, Dr. Harold Copp, was himself a trailblazer, the first head of the physiology department in the University of British Columbia’s new Faculty of Medicine and a research pioneer. Generously illustrated with both vintage and contemporary architectural photography, line drawings, and photographs of the architect and residents, The Copp House is the story of a cultural landmark on the shores of Vancouver.
