Résumé:
To stop. A gesture of resistance in a world primarily designed to encourage work, consumerism, perpetual growth and efficiency. Stopping as an urban practice. In cities where pauses and idleness within specific sites are increasingly discouraged, stopping emerges as a space of rupture, pleasure, intimacy, or simply necessity and rest. In a project begun in 2015 in Mexico City and further developed in Montreal in 2017, Jean-François Prost explores these realities for their contrasts with the incessant movement of people and related structures in contemporary cities where sometimes even self-constructions of time and space are forbidden.

Résumé:
Glasgow-based artist Phil Collins' film Soy Mi Madre examines the immigrant populations of Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, a sizable percentage of which hail from northwestern Mexico. The region relies heavily on service and maintenance work provided largely through this population, who often commute to work in Aspen. Loosely inspired by Jean Genet's The Maids--a seminal example of Theatre of the Absurd that renders surreal the intricate power dynamics that exist between people of divergent socioeconomic groups and exploits the volatility of social identity--Soy Mi Madre portrays the social realities of this region through the melodramatic lens of the telenovela.

Downfall: The Architecture of Excess is a novel set between Montreal, Venice, London and Mexico in a flux of political and economic intrigue, where architecture becomes one of the primary characters of the unfolding plot. It weaves together the sublime and comical lives of the three protagonists as they collide in one ominous building. In this tale about human ambition, Louise Pelletier, who practiced as an architect for over a decade before devoting herself to teaching, here takes a caustic look at the building industry and the primeval human quest to leave our mark on the world.
