Summary:
Depuis 2004, l’artiste québécoise Olivia Boudreau allie performance et vidéo dans un corpus qui s’accomplit dans la durée et la répétition en explorant des notions du visible. En mettant à contribution le plan fixe, un cadrage serré et une économie de mouvements, et plus récemment l’interactivité de la narrativité, ses installations et performances en direct proposent une expérience temporelle et perceptuelle captivante pour le spectateur. Ce premier ouvrage illustré sur son travail comprend des essais des historiens de l’art Christine Ross et Eduardo Ralickas qui discutent de temporalité, de matérialité et de réception dans sa pratique ainsi qu’un long entretien entre l’artiste et la commissaire Michèle Thériault.

Summary:
Letters profiles Canadian artist Michael Morris during the period between 1964 and 1971 with a particular focus on his relationship with concrete poetry, considered to be among the first global art movements, springing up in South and North America, Japan and Europe. Artist, educator, and curator Michael Morris has been a key figure in the West Coast art scene for more than four decades. His interest in concrete poems underlies his desire to develop the relationship between one medium and another—this was a period in which his work shifted from primarily painting to photography, sculpture, performance, and video. Artist, educator, and curator Michael Morris has been a key figure in the West Coast art scene for more than four decades. His interest in concrete poems underlies his desire to develop the relationship between one medium and another—this was a period in which his work shifted from primarily painting to photography, sculpture, performance, and video. Letters, a series of six painted triptychs executed in the late 1960s that form the basis of this book, embody this interdisciplinary thinking. Incorporating vertical mirrors, they were imagined not only as objects in themselves, expressing the pivotal role light plays in painting, but also as ‘props’, before which a dance performance might take place.

Summary:
They've been called cheeky pranksters but the immersive environments created by the artistic collective lampoon consumer culture with a razor-sharp wit. BGL's exhibitions have included the staging of an ornamental tree factory, a bonfire and a flea market; and their urban carousel made from security fences and lampposts joyously greeted visitors at MASS MoCA's 2012 exhibition, Oh Canada. Through their ingeniously-crafted installations, BGL repositions cultural ephemera and unique sculptures in new and thought-provoking ways, often requiring viewer engagement and always to general delight. This in-depth examination of BGL's practice accompanies the world premiere of their new work, Canadassimo, created especially for 2015 Venice Biennial, where the collective is representing Canada.

Bertram Brooker (1888–1955), an associate of the Group of Seven, was a multi-disciplinary artist who was deeply engaged with the visual, literary and performing arts in Canada during the dynamic inter-war period.

Summary:
Le nom de James Duncan est inconnu, mais ses œuvres sont pourtant la mémoire vivante de Montréal pendant les cinquante années où il y fut actif, soit de 1830 à 1880. Né en Irlande, il est le premier artiste britannique à s’établir à Montréal qui s’impose alors comme la ville la plus importante du Canada. Duncan suit l’Évolution de la cité coloniale et en fournit des vues panoramiques ainsi que des scènes détaillées des événements qui s’y déroulent. Ses œuvres sont reproduites par l’estampe et publiées dans la presse. Ses aquarelles captent l’animation de la rue et montrent les résidents s’adonnant à leurs activités quotidiennes. Sensible au mouvement des saisons, Duncan célèbre les couleurs de l’automne et s’inspire de l’hiver. Particulièrement intéressé par les mœurs locales, il est attentif aux aspects qui caractérisent la vie canadienne et la spécificité des paysages. Principalement destinée aux visiteurs et aux connaisseurs, son œuvre présente la colonie britannique sous son meilleur jour. Première monographie consacrée à cet artiste, cet ouvrage illustré de plus de 160 œuvres de Duncan révèle les divers aspects de sa carrière, une plongée unique dans le Montréal du 19e siècle.

Summary:
Avec cet ouvrage, Philippe Bazin nous livre son point de vue d’artiste sur le travail d’un photographe mondialement célébré. Invitant sans arrêt l’irréel au sein du banal, Jeff Wall est passé maître dans l’art de l’étrangeté familière. Bazin propose ici un panorama de son œuvre qu’il balaye généreusement, depuis les tous premiers travaux de la fin des années 1970 jusqu’à l’aube des années 2000. Il éclaire ainsi une trentaine de photographies, reproduites en grand format, en les confrontant à l’idéal baudelairien du «peintre de la vie moderne», qui irrigue la pratique et la réflexion de l’artiste canadien depuis ses débuts. Ce livre présente l’avantage de s’offrir comme une conversation fluide, un dialogue intellectuel et sensible entre deux photographes à l’affût du « antastique réel extrait de la vie», que Baudelaire avait entrevu.

Summary:
Pivot is a new peer-reviewed graduate academic interdisciplinary journal involving the Departments of Art History, Studio Arts and Communication Studies. The Journal is produced out of Concordia University, which presents a unique site for the exploration of interdisciplinarity within the humanities, where the disciplines of Art History, Studio Arts and Communication Studies are continually negotiating shared and divided scholarly territories. Taking our cue from journals that combine art making and academic writing, such as Afterall and LTTR, Pivot recognizes art production as a site for scholarly exploration, and accepts content in the form of academic papers, artist project descriptions, short texts by artists, and image based proposals. Pivot’s unique print format reflects this dual engagement by combining book arts practice with academic journal production.
