Résumé:
Faisant suite à une série d’expositions monographiques présentée entre 2008 et 2011 en Europe et en Amérique du Nord, cette publication propose un premier aperçu de l’œuvre multiforme de l’artiste austro-canadien Klaus Scherübel. Ancrée dans la tradition de l’art conceptuel, la pratique de Scherübel résiste à toute catégorisation facile. Son travail propose une investigation systématique de l’activité artistique mettant en question les frontières séparant les fonctions d’artiste, d’historien, de conservateur, d’éditeur, de commanditaire ou de spectateur. En utilisant une variété de stratégies esthétiques, ses entreprises artistiques reconsidèrent des œuvres, des concepts et des genres issues des arts visuels, de la littérature du cinéma et de la télévision. VOL. 13 documente et analyse quelques uns de ses projets les plus connus des vingt dernières années incluant la série Untitled (The Artist at Work) ainsi que ses projets de livre dédiés aux entreprises littéraires et conceptuels du poète français Stéphane Mallarmé et de l’écrivain fictif Jack Torrance tiré du film d’horreur The Shining. Il contient des essais de Jean-François Chevrier et de Patrice Loubier ainsi qu’une entrevue entre Helmut Draxler et l’artiste. Scherübel a personnellement pris en charge la conception de cet ouvrage, nous offrant tout autant une publication sur sa démarche autoréflexive qu’un prolongement de celle-ci.

Résumé:
Mentor to a generation of Californian Conceptualists and performance artists, Guy de Cointet (1934-1983) took language as a material from which to generate drawings, plays and performances. De Cointet collected phrases, words and even single letters culled from popular culture and literary sources, and scripted them as dialogues or props for plays inspired by the writings and homonymic compositional methods of Raymond Roussel: in the 1976 play "At Sunrise... A Cry Was Heard," for example, a large painting depicting letters bisected by a white sash provides the dialogue of the lead actress, who recites its jumble of letters as if it were ordinary conversation. His drawings were often generated by geometric erasures of found text, leaving behind Concrete-style abstract patterns. A formative figure for Mike Kelley and Paul McCarthy during his tenure at the Otis Art institute, de Cointet is today in the process of being rediscovered; this timely monograph is the first overview of his enigmatic and influential oeuvre.

Résumé:
Tommy Douglas was a Scottish-born prairie politician who believed in the enormous potential of co-operative action for the common good. Award-winning novelist and medical doctor Vincent Lam brings special insight to his portrait of Douglas, who grew up to become a champion boxer and a Baptist minister and then later exchanged the pulpit for a political platform. A powerful orator and tireless activist, he served for seventeen years as premier of Saskatchewan, where he introduced the universal health care program that would eventually be adopted across Canada . As the new leader of the New Democratic Party, he was a staunch advocate of programs aimed at improving the well-being of ordinary Canadians and a steadfast defender of civil liberties. By his example and unflagging efforts, Douglas made democratic socialism a part of mainstream Canadian political life.

Résumé:
In this original vision of Canada, thinker John Ralston Saul argues that Canada is a Métis nation, heavily influenced and shaped by Aboriginal ideas: Egalitarianism, a proper balance between individual and group, and a penchant for negotiation over violence are all Aboriginal values that Canada absorbed. An obstacle to our progress, Saul argues, is that Canada has an increasingly ineffective elite, a colonial non-intellectual business elite that doesn't believe in Canada. It is critical that we recognize these aspects of the country in order to rethink it's future.
