Text(e)s sur/ on : Franko B., David Cronenberg, Bruno Dumont, Philippe Grandrieux, Michael Haneke, Maria Marshall, Paul McCarthy, Shahryar Nashat, Orlan, Gina Pane, … Par / by : Christa Blümlinger, Tim Clark, Amelia Jones, Jean-Ernest Joos, Thomas Y. Levin, Thérèse St-Gelais, Giovanna Zapperi … '' Comment aborder le problème de la violence dans le monde quand on est artiste ? Est-ce que la violence est innommable, intraitable ? Le cinéma ou les médias nous la montrent pourtant à profusion : guerre, sexes, criminalité, tortures psychologiques et physiques. Quand est-il de la question de la représentation quand il s'agit de violence. La montrer, est-ce la recréer ou l'encourager ? Les pratiques artistiques des dernières années abordent la violence en photographie et en vidéo par exemple. L'exacerbation de la violence et sa propagation par les images provoquent des questionnements inédits. Retrouve-t-on ce questionnement en art contemporain ? Comment se montre-t-il ? Quelles formes prend-il ? /// How do artists broach the question of violence in the contemporary world? Is violence unutterable, untouchable? Cinema and the media do not cease to showcase violence in its most varied manifestations: war, sexuality, criminality, psychological and physical torture, etc. What is the status of representation when it comes to showing violence? Do representations of violent acts necessarily disseminate and recreate them? Many recent artistic practices address violence by means of photography or video. The exacerbation of violence and its dissemination by means of countless images raises new and important questions. How are such questions formulated in the field of contemporary art? How do they manifest themselves? What are their forms? '' Chantal Pontbriand.

Summary:
In 1975, a small group of enterprising, discontented members of Quebec's art community posed the question: "What do we know about contemporary art outside of Quebec, in Canada or abroad? Do we know what contemporary art exists in Montreal? How does information about art circulate?" By way of an answer, the artistically unconventional and theoretically cutting-edge magazine Parachute was launched, founded by Chantal Pontbriand and France Morin. Artists such as Jeff Wall, Bill Viola, Stan Douglas, Eija-Liisa Ahtila and many others had the first significant critical reception of their work in Parachute. Similarly, figures such as Douglas Crimp, Thomas Crow, Thierry de Duve, Georges Didi-Huberman, Hal Foster, Reesa Greenberg, Serge Guilbaut and Laura Mulvey published highly pertinent essays in the journal early on in their careers. The essays collected in this volume have been selected from the first 25 years of Parachute's publication history, from 1975 to 2000.

Summary:
Parachute was founded in 1975 by Chantal Pontbriand and France Morin. Following the previous three Parachute volumes, this last title of the Parachute anthology focuses on painting, sculpture, installation and architecture. These topics are approached from several perspectives: from new theories of aesthetic production, especially painting, to the expansion of the art world to other artistic territories during the 1980s and 1990s (Russia and South America, for instance), from the "lessons" of postmodernism to the proliferation of installation art. The essays discuss works by artists such as Lothar Baumgarten, Mona Hatoum, Guillermo Kuitca, Louise Lawler, Reinhard Mucha, Jackson Pollock, Robert Ryman, Michael Snow and Sots Art artists, and include two particularly seminal artist's essays: Dan Graham on Gordon Matta-Clark, and Jeff Wall on Édouard Manet.

Summary:
Après avoir exploré les méandres de la violence interpersonnelle dans notre dernier numéro, Violence Psycho, nous abordons ici même les effets de la violence dans le contexte d'une mondialisation galopante. Violence sans fin, violence sans frontières, l'aspect illimité de la chose est flagrant. Et même, pourrait-on dire, plus il y a de mondialisation, plus il y a de violence. On peut se demander pourquoi, en chercher les fondements, rationaliser la chose, il reste que la violence tient de l'irrationnel, de la démesure et de la folie collective, à toutes fins utiles. // After having explored the meanders of interpersonal violence in the previous issue, Violence Psycho, we now focus our attention on the effects of violence in the alarmingly unbounded context of globalization. Violence without end, violence without borders; the unlimited aspect of the phenomenon is flagrant. One could say that the more globalization makes itself manifest, the more violence appears. Also, one could ponder on the reasons for this and attempt to comprehend the underpinnings of such violence and rationalize it; the fact remains: violence stems from an irrational source, from collective folly and excess, for all intents and purposes.
