Summary:
Le déménagement (le rapt, diront ses opposants) de la fontaine La Joute, la plus imposante sculpture de Riopelle, du Parc olympique vers le quartier des affaires, souleva un « débat sans précédent au Québec » autour d'une oeuvre d'art public. Non sans raison: peaufiné depuis cinq ans par les déménageurs, au premier chef la ministre-députée du comté qui allait pourtant(...)

Summary:
Le déménagement (le rapt, diront ses opposants) de la fontaine La Joute, la plus imposante sculpture de Riopelle, du Parc olympique vers le quartier des affaires, souleva un « débat sans précédent au Québec » autour d'une oeuvre d'art public. Non sans raison: peaufiné depuis cinq ans par les déménageurs, au premier chef la ministre-députée du comté qui allait pourtant être dépouillé de l'oeuvre, le projet était secret. Il aura fallu la maladresse d'un de ses artisans, en mars 2002, pour le révéler à un public stupéfait et mettre le feu aux poudres. Ce sont les coulisses de cette affaire, exemple de l'arrogance des pouvoirs publics, que dévoile la présente enquête, en plus de raconter l'histoire tragico-rocambolesque de La Joute. Au fil des pages, on découvrira aussi d'autres folles histoires, nées, celles-là, des susceptibilités du public, confronté à une oeuvre parachutée sans préavis dans le voisinage. Quoi qu'il en soit, tant ces susceptibilités parfois explosives du public que l'arrogance des autorités devraient nous inciter à réfléchir à des formes nouvelles de démocratie patrimoniale.

En parallèle à une série de photographies où se révélaient mutuellement les beautés de la nature et de l'architecture, l'artiste proposait également une imposante sculpture en bois. À la fois réceptacle et sanctuaire, demeure et nid, cette oeuvre contemplative, éclairée de l'intérieur, aux qualités plastiques saisissantes, nous renvoyait à des besoins universels liés d'une manière ou d'une autre aux notions d'enveloppement, de contemplation, d'habitat et d'urbanisme. Or, si la présentation de l'exposition «Réflexions» est à l'origine de ce projet de publication, c'est d'abord la maturité d'une démarche solidement construite sur plus de trente années de carrière artistique qui nous a persuadé de la pertinence de réaliser cette monographie portant sur l'oeuvre de Linda Covit.

Summary:
Archetypes features a recent series by Canadian artist David K. Ross, who works at the interface of photography, film, and installation. His images of architectural mock-ups, staged at night with dramatic lighting that isolates structures from their surroundings, demonstrate how these objects have become a charged form of proto-architecture.

Summary:
Archetypes features a recent series by Canadian artist David K. Ross, who works at the interface of photography, film, and installation. His images of architectural mock-ups, staged at night with dramatic lighting that isolates structures from their surroundings, demonstrate how these objects have become a charged form of proto-architecture. They also change how we view the practice of architecture by documenting and framing unseen aspects of its emergence. Built at full scale, these architectural fragments—to be removed from construction sites as buildings near completion—ensure that a project can be executed exactly to design, and they provide clients with a simulation of a building that leaves little space for speculation. The task of mock-up documentation is usually left to architects and contractors, who take quick snapshots for their reference during site visits.The book offers a platform to consider what it means to pre-construct fragments of buildings in all their complexity.

Summary:
''Ad Astra'' is an artist book created as part of a public art project commissioned for the medical library of the University of Montreal Health Center (CHUM), in Montréal, Quebec. Involving the arts, science, and public participation, ''Ad Astra'' consists of an archive of messages that are poetically sent to the stars and to the future. The messages, collected from the hospital community, are transformed by means of a collaboration between art and neuroscience to generate astral images, and ultimately, a collective artwork representing a collection of prayers, hopes and fears. Rooted in deep human experiences,''Ad Astra'' gives voice to the range of emotions and the cycle of life and death that the hospital context is witness to daily. In compliment to the permanent multimedia artwork installed in the library, the book presents a tightly knit set of relationships among the various elements that compose the project, including messages, portraits, neurological diagrams, video-stills, citations, and texts. An introductory essay by Claire Moeder creatively illuminates the core interests of the project while the graphic design by Criterium echoes the installation with material means. The book is a nomadic archive and tactile object that was created to travel beyond the primary site of medical library, and ultimately towards the stars.

Flipping through 'Cover to Cover', which is composed entirely of photographs in narrative sequence, one might describe it as a book made by a filmmaker. Each individual page features a distinct moment, seen from one perspective on the front, and from a diametrically opposed angle on the back, occasionally pivoting between interior and exterior spaces. Midway through the book, the images are inverted such that the volume must be turned upside-down to be looked at right-side up. The result is a disorienting study in simultaneity.

This volume, published for Dzama's exhibitions at Sies + Höke and Kunstverein Braunschweig, reproduces a wealth of new work, including images, stage sets, puppets, dioramas and sculptures from the films; a suite of ten drawings called Forgotten Terrorists (2008-2011), that draw on a photograph of the Palestinian terrorist and hijacker Leila Khaled; and other recent drawings, such as "Pepper Spray Saturday" (2011), an interpretation of the already iconic image of policeman John Pike pepper spraying Occupy protesters at University of California Davis.
