Letters
Letters: Michael Morris and Concrete Poetry profiles artist Michael Morris during the period between 1964 and 1971. The book has a particular focus on concrete poetry, considered as perhaps the first global art movement, springing up in South and North America, Japan and Europe in the mid to late 1950s. Recognising the potential of concrete poetry as an area that included design, poetry, architecture, art, and communications, Morris co-curated an important exhibition of Concrete Poetry at the University of British Columbia Fine Arts Gallery in 1969. It presented a selection of Morris' large ?Letter” paintings and a selection of international concrete poetry from the period.
Maria Eichhorn: Film Lexicon of Sexual Practices / Prohibited Imports
The publication focuses on two of Eichhorn?s open-ended projects, which both have the representation and regulation of sexual imagery as their theme. ?Prohibited Imports? (2003/08 and 2015) now includes four books censored by Japanese customs and ?Film Lexicon of Sexual Practices ? (1999/2005/2008/2014/2015) currently consists of twenty films. The essays engage the critical dimension of these compelling works.
Tom Burrows
Tom Burrows, and the exhibition that preceded the book, presents work by the artist from his early career to the present. The book is a timely refocusing of attention on an artist who has made an immense contribution to the development of art in Vancouver, not only as an artist but as an educator and activist as well. Burrows first rose to prominence in the late-1960s and was included in several exhibitions at the UBC Fine Arts Library, an institution that was seminal in encouraging Vancouver's growing and now vibrant art community. In 1975 he received a United Nations commission to document squatters communities in Europe, Africa and Asia, a work that is now in the Belkin's collection. Burr...
Thrown
Thrown brings together essays by curators, first hand accounts by potters, archival documents, photographs and letters from the personal collections of seven highly respected potters who began to thrown pots in the Vancouver Western area during the 1960s. Thrown is inspired by the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery's ground breaking exhibition, Thrown: Influences and Intentions of West Coast Potters. Selected by Matthew Higgs as one of the "Top 10 shows of 2004" (Artforum International) for its unconventional and compelling approach to the studio pottery movement, the exhibition featured over 600 pots by John Reeve, Glenn Lewis, Michael Henry and Ian Steele--the four Canadian apprentices of...

Electrifying Art
A ground-breaking monograph, recognizing for the first time the noted Japanese post-World War II conceptual avant-garde artist, Atsuko Tanaka. The only female member of the Japanese Gutai Group, Tanaka forged a unique relationship between painting and performance that is only now seen to be far ahead of her time. Thoroughly documented are the artist's drawings, paintings and "leftover objects" from her past performances.
Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson
Drinking songs and dream states permeate the multimedia collaborations of Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson This publication marks the culmination of Canadian duo Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson's (both born 1982) three-venue film installation, documenting the sets, writings, drawings, paintings and poems.
Fred Herzog
Fred Herzog's bold use of colour in the 1950s and 60s set him apart at a time when the only art photography taken seriously was in black and white. His early use of color make him a forerunner of "New Colour" photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, who received widespread acclaim in the 1970s. Herzog images were all taken on Kodachrome, a slide film with a sharpness and tonal range that, until recently, could not be reproduced in prints, and his choice of medium limited his exhibition opportunities. However, recent advances in digital technology have made high-quality prints of his work possible, and in the past few years his substantial and influential body of work has been available to a wider audience. Fred Herzog: Photographs showcases this innovative artist's impressive oeuvre in a beautifully crafted volume of early color and urban street photography. Providing authoritative texts are four titans of the art community: Jeff Wall anchors Herzog's place in the history of photography, Claudia Gochmann sets his work in an international context and Sarah Milroy and Douglas Coupland provide additional commentary.
