Résumé:
Artiste montréalais originaire de Rimouski, Gwenaël Bélanger repousse depuis une dizaine d’années les limites du hors champ en questionnant le statut de l’image. Par l’entremise d’une observation attentive et critique de ce qui fait image dans le quotidien, l’artiste exploite les limites de la perception du réel à travers des procédés graphiques et photographiques. Il s’intéresse au contenu polysémique de l’image médiatisée et de l’objet culturel. L’imagerie aussi bien que les dispositifs mis en place par l’artiste répondent par une certaine dérision à une observation sensible de notre société de la vitesse et de l’hyperconsommation. Cette première monographie témoigne d’une exposition bilan présentée à travers le Canada. Gwenaël Bélanger a participé à un grand nombre d’expositions notamment au Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal et au Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Une co-édition avec Expression.

This publication unites recent collages, drawings, posters and sculptural works by Jakob Kolding (born 1971), examining different concepts of architectural space.

Résumé:
This catalogue is the first overview of the Israeli artist Absalon. Housed in plain white paper-over-board covers, it is comprised of two bound sections of differing heights, the back of which is glued to the interior rear card cover, in a spin on the ‘monograph as dossier’ format. Absalon built a considerable ouevre during his brief life (1964-1993), and this austerely designed volume effectively constitutes an Absalon catalogue raisonné. Absalon’s best known works, the Cellules, rewrite Cezanne’s “treat nature as the cylinder, the sphere and the cone” to read “treat architecture as the cell, the bunker and the turret.” Not that the Cellules are straightforwardly architecture: they equally evoke Minimalist sculpture, Matt Mullican’s maquettes, Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbauen and the Concrete sculptures of George Vantongerloo. But the model that the Cellules most overtly evoke is the monastic cell.
