Résumé:
Informed by early twentieth-century avantgardes, principally cubism and expressionism, Dana Schutz's art is an extraordinary and joyful mash-up where a multitude of references and allusions collide. The exhilarating results can be understood as a productive conversation with the history of painting and as a compelling testament to painting's complex and unending death throes. With its conflations of Gericault, horror films, Ensor, Picasso, Guston, porn, and pop culture, her work appears to counter and confront the imperious Internet information colossus, where everything is available at once. This bilingual publication accompanies an exhibition of new and recent work. Born in 1976, Dana Schutz is a New York based artist whose work over the past decade has had a notable influence on contemporary painting. She has had solo exhibitions at, notably, Miami Art Museum (2012); Denver Museum of Contemporary Art and Denver Art Museum (2012); and Hannover Kesterngesellschaft and Hepworth Wakefield (2013). Her work is found in numerous collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, and Whitney Museum of American Art.

Résumé:
Cette publication rassemble des huiles sur toile de moyens et grands formats ainsi que des aquarelles de petits formats qui explorent la constellation de thèmes chers à l’artiste : des paysages parsemés de signes de la présence et du rituel humain où s’opère la rencontre étrange de l’exaltation et de la menace, de l’exotisme et de la naïveté. David Lafrance est diplômé de l’Université Concordia à Montréal en peinture et dessin, où il a reçu le prix Guido Molinari pour ces performances académiques

Résumé:
Donigan Cumming's The Stage is one of the most challenging photo books published in the last century. Rather than merely documenting his subjects, Cumming collaborated with them, carefully orchestrating their appearance and posture in each photograph, emphasizing their most eccentric qualities to a degree that has earned him comparisons with Diane Arbus. The Stage thus constitutes a portrayal of the elderly, the odd, the sick and the possibly demented.
