Strangers in Blood
For two centuries (1670-1870), English, Scottish, and Canadian fur traders voyaged the myriad waterways of Rupert's Land, the vast territory charted to the Hudson's Bay Company and later splintered among five Canadian provinces and four American states. The knowledge and support of northern Native peoples were critical to the newcomer's survival and success. With acquaintance and alliance came intermarriage, and the unions of European traders and Native women generated thousands of descendants.

Isabelle Andriessen: Dorm
Isabelle Andriessen investigates ways to physically animate inanimate (synthetic) materials in order to provide them with their own metabolism, behavior and agency. Her sculptures are agents inhabiting the liminal space between sculpture and performance, composed of materials that act and evolve, seemingly beyond control and often irreversibly. On the occasion of the exhibitions DORM (2021) and BUNK (2021), this publication brings together three distinct voices. Sci-f writer and art critic Mark Von Schlegell contributes a short story in which an engineer is trying to locate a lost AI as a spaceship hurdles of course. In an autonomous photo series photographer Nikola Lamburov reimagines Andriessen's sculptures, capturing their processes in sticky, eerie and surreal landscapes. Through fractals, liquids, vapors and metals, curator Laura McLean-Ferris?s essay traces the state changes that are enacted across Andriessen?s works, and in doing so finds systems of porous entanglement that flourish in a world without humans.00Exhibition: CAN Centre d'art Neuchâtel, Switzerland (10.10. - 28.11.2021) / De Pont, Tilburg, The Netherlands (18.09.2021 - 23.01.2022).0.

Nos meilleurs amis sont les morts
Montréal, 1er mai 2012. Maître Jean-Claude Ladouceur, notaire, est retrouvé égorgé dans le sous-sol de sa maison d’Ahuntsic. À côté du cadavre, un carré de tissu rouge. Le sergent-détective André Surprenant est sceptique. Le meurtre ne lui paraît pas lié à la crise du printemps érable. Les leurres, il a déjà donné. Pour LP Brazeau, son partenaire, le mobile est simple: l’argent, toujours l’argent. Entre une veuve troublante, un promoteur immobilier amateur de dictons, un patron louche et un banquier qui joue au mécène, Surprenant est entraîné dans une affaire complexe, qui déborde à la fois de Montréal et des années 2010. Les meurtres se succèdent. La sécurité de Surprenant et de ses proches, la paix même du couple inoxydable qu’il forme avec Geneviève, sont menacées. Brazeau a tort: il ne s’agit pas simplement d’argent. Quelqu’un cherche à se venger. Surprenant fouille la ville avec une nouvelle coéquipière allumée. De ces jours trépidants, il sortira changé.
