Summary:
The photographs of Angela Grauerholz (born 1952) are filled with people, glimpses of public and private interiors, and ethereal rural and urban landscapes. Their out-of-focus quality transforms them into a stream of consciousness—“a representation of our experience: a continuous prodding into something that escapes us continuously.”

Cette première monographie sur l'œuvre de Rewakowicz interroge de diverses manières toute la question de l'identité reliée à l'habitat et au vêtement. En contraste avec la masse stable qu'est la sculpture et l'architecture monumentale, les costumes et structures de l'artiste sont gonflables et mobiles, et s'intéressent aux lieu et aux personnes qui les activent.

Summary:
Cette première monographie sur l'œuvre de Rewakowicz interroge de diverses manières toute la question de l'identité reliée à l'habitat et au vêtement. En contraste avec la masse stable qu'est la sculpture et l'architecture monumentale, les costumes et structures de l'artiste sont gonflables et mobiles, et s'intéressent aux lieu et aux personnes qui les activent. En utilisant des matériaux tels le latex, le polyéthylène, le papier d'aluminium et des panneaux solaires, Rewakowicz apprivoise les technologies afin de créer des expériences publiques et des vêtements fonctionnels qui peuvent se transformer en architecture portable, voire nomade.

Summary:
Bringing together fifteen scholars of art and culture, ''Unsettling Canadian art history'' addresses the visual and material culture of settler colonialism, enslavement, and racialized diasporas in the contested white settler state of Canada. This collection offers new avenues for scholarship on art, archives, and creative practice by rethinking histories of Canadian colonialisms from Black, Indigenous, racialized, feminist, queer, trans, and Two-Spirit perspectives. Writing across many positionalities, contributors offer chapters that disrupt colonial archives of art and culture, excavating and reconstructing radical Black, Indigenous, and racialized diasporic creation and experience. Exploring the racist frameworks that continue to erase histories of violence and resistance, this book imagines the expansive possibilities of a decolonial future. ''Unsettling Canadian art history'' affirms the importance of collaborative conversations and work in the effort to unsettle scholarship in Canadian art and culture.

Summary:
Never shying away from controversy, Obomsawin’s films have played a critical role in exposing ongoing systemic bias towards Indigenous populations—from fishing rights and education to health care and treaty violations. Obomsawin is also a graphic artist, and she incorporates her often dream-inspired etchings and prints into many of her films. This volume includes illuminating essays exploring Obomsawin’s practice and mission as well as personal commentary from collaborators, archival materials, and photographs from the filmmaker’s personal life and professional exploits. As Obomsawin closes in on her ninth decade of life—and fifth decade behind the camera—this beautifully illustrated record of her astounding body of work and tireless efforts on behalf of Indigenous peoples and culture is an inspiring celebration of the power of film to dramatically change the course of history.

Summary:
This 768-page volume stands as the most comprehensive source on the Canadian collective General Idea, founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson and active until the deaths of Partz and Zontal in 1994. The book is arranged in three parts: Performances and Actions, In the Streets and In the Showroom. The first two parts focus on ephemeral, time-based and even disposable works. The third part includes a plate section offering a near-complete visual survey of General Idea's practice. Facing-page comparative images show works as they appeared in historical installations or other relevant contexts. These three sections correspond broadly to the collective’s development: from performances, actions, pageants and other practices (1969–78), through works engaging with mass-media formats such as the magazine, television and video (1972–’80s), and finally to works conceived for galleries and museums (1985–94). The publication features a prologue by AA Bronson, a conversation between him and Beatrix Ruf, and new texts by international scholars. The appendix includes a complete scholarly bibliography, exhibition and performance histories, and an illustrated chronology of the group.
