Creating Memory
Toronto has over 600 public outdoor sculptures, works of art that provide a sense of the rich variety of life and work in the city, its peoples, cultures and aspirations. Interest in commissioning public sculpture began slowly in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, but increased rapidly after the 1950s.This is a book about the sculptures and how they disclose the city to itself. Creating Memory’s two introductory sections examine the factors behind this expansion over time and the changes in style as one generation of sculptors succeeded another. It looks at the reasons behind the changes as sculptures were conceived, sculpted and erected. More than 10 categories of sculptures are defined and discussed, including Founding the City, Natural Environment, Immigration, Ethnic Groups, Economic Activities, Disaster and Calamity, War And Conflict, Leaders, Ordinary Citizens, Community Life, and Works of the Imagination.
David Then & Now
In Winnipeg in 1993, Micah Lexier put an ad in the local newspaper looking for males named David. Hundred of people responded, and he asked the first David of each age one to seventy five, to be photographed at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. The result was an exhibition of life size portraits entitled ' Portrait of David'. Ten years later Lexier located as many of the original Davids as possible and asked them to be photographed again. The result was 'David Then & Now' (2005), a series of diptychs in which each original photo was paired with one taken a decade later. The project was presented by Plug In ICA as a series of bus-shelter posters in downtown Winnipeg and in exhibitions at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York, TrepanierBaer in Calgary, Glenbow Museum in Calgary, and Birch Libralato in Toronto.

The Resisting Muse
This volume examines the various ways popular music has been deployed as anti-establishment and how such opposition both influences and responds to the music produced. The book's contemporary focus (largely post-1975) allows for comprehensive coverage of extremely diverse forms of popular music in relation to the creation of communities of protest. The Resisting Muse examines how the forms and aims of social protest music are contingent upon the audience's ability to invest the music with the 'appropriate' political meaning.
This Is Called Moving
As the writer, director, producer, and cinematographer of almost all her 30 films, videos, and shorts, Abigail Child has been recognized as a major and influential practitioner of experimental cinema since the early 1970s. Hallmarks of her style are the appropriation and reassembly of found footage and fragments from disparate visual sources, ranging from industrial films and documentaries to home movies, vacation photography, and snippets of old B movies. The resulting collages and montages are cinematic narratives that have been consistently praised for their beauty and sense of wonder and delight in the purely visual. At the same time, Child's films are noted for their incisive political ...
