Jane Buyers
"The title of Jane Buyers' exhibition "Gather... Arrange... Maintain" echoes a seminal work by the artist consisting of a series of thirteen small bronze reliefs displayed in a long horizontal row picturing tools of nineteenth-century domestic labour, many resembling old kitchen utensils. This visual connects viewers immediately into rituals of everyday life and embraces Buyers' vision as seen in her work through the years. Buyers' practices reveals a heroic use of materials through labour intensive manipulation of media from bronze and porcelain to clay, wax, wood, fabric and found objects resulting in an alchemical transformation that many feel only she can do. This intensive and focused survey exhibition showcasing significant works over a 30-year span attests to Buyers' stellar vision. All that she does contributes to our knowledge of the world and enhances our sensitivity to the human experience, done through numerous references including architecture, books, and botanical imagery." --Foreword.

The Aesthetic Economy of Fashion
Fashion is bound up with promoting the "new," concerned with constantly changing aesthetics. The favored styles or looks of a season arise out of the work of a vast range of different actors who collectively produce, select, distribute and promote the new ideals, before moving on next season. If fashion is defined, in part, by the incessant requirement to be "new," this requirement means aesthetic qualities are always in motion and, therefore, unstable. How, then, are fashionable commodities stabilized long enough for them to be calculated--i.e., selected, distributed and sold--by those critically placed inside the fashion system? Since there are few studies that actually examine the work th...
Persuasion and Propaganda
Lavishly illustrated, Persuasion and Propaganda is the first study of these works of art within the framework of colonial politics and political culture. While examining the rise of the idea of the public in the modern world, Joan Coutu also explores how "empire" was constantly being redefined. From private funeral monuments in the West Indies to works erected by the East India Company and the British Parliament, Coutu shows how the youthful British Empire saw itself and validated its mission through sculpture.
