Summary:
Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Jack Chambers: Light, Spirit, Time, Place and Life is the first major volume to be published on the work of Jack Chambers, one of Canada’s most recognized and broadly influential artists. Featuring a selection of some 100 works including paintings, drawings, prints, and films, and materials from the artist’s extensive papers, the book focuses on Chambers’s own unique brand of “perceptive realism,” his use of light, place, time, and spirit, all of which were central to his work. A brilliant draughtsman and remarkable painter, Chambers spend his early adulthood travelling and studying in Europe, where he met Pablo Picasso. When he returned to his hometown of London, Ontario, in 1961, he found himself at the centre of a vibrant art scene that would become the backdrop for his films and the surrealist-influenced works based on his dream-like evocations of memory.

Summary:
Daniel Young and Christian Giroux have been making art together for nearly ten years. Their sculpture, public art and film installations are the product of an ongoing conversation concerning mid-century modernity, and the production of space and the built environment. This first in-depth monograph provides a career overview as well as an exploration of the duo's latest and most emblematic project, Beta Boole - sculptures involving Ikea furniture. The term Boole comes from the 3D computer modeling operation of adding and subtracting simple forms to generate more complex ones. These pieces of furniture provide both a recognizable and vernacular set of domestic forms, which perversely realize the Modernist goal of universal design through the machinations of globalization. Brancusi, Gordon Matta-Clark, and the Japanese architectural office SANAA are among their critical influences.

Summary:
Il s’agit d’une bande dessinée qui aborde les enjeux environnementaux et sociaux provoqués par le « Plan Nord ». Sous une forme ludique et faussement naïve dont l’aspect pourrait rappeler un bestiaire, ou un herbier, l’auteur propose un voyage à travers les différents environnements naturels, humains et spirituels de ce nord que ce projet titanesque, décrit comme « le chantier d’une génération », est en train de transformer à tout jamais. Pour les illustrations, l’auteur compte utiliser la technique du collage et se servir principalement de morceaux de sacs de poubelles noirs ramassés dans les réserves amérindiennes de la Basse Côte-Nord situées à proximité du vaste complexe hydro-électrique La Romaine.
