Ce catalogue d'exposition, qui comprend un texte du commisaire, Laurier Lacroix, et un projet d'artiste d'Irene F. Whittome, examine les rapports multiples qui existent entre l'art et l'architecure. À partir d'une sélection de pièces tirées des collections du CCA et de nouvelles installations qu'elle a conçues spécialement pour les espaces du musée, Whittome cherche à en révéler le pouvoir d'évocation et l'intensité contemplative. Laurier Lacroix présente la genèse de l'exposition et propose des interprétations poétiques de oeuvres et des installations. Le projet d'artiste créé pour la publication est constitué de l'impression en braille de 14 haikus de poète japonais Basho.
