Musée D'art de Joliette
The Musée d'art de Joliette is one of the few North-American museums outside the major cities to have pursued acquisition and temporary exhibition policies aimed at conserving and disseminating both historical and contemporary art. Rather than a straightforward guide to the collections, this lavishly illustrated volume sheds light on the history of the museum itself, as well as that of its holdings. To this end four authors offer original essays on episodes that have shaped the collection's development. Complimenting these essays are 120 selected works presented in order of their acquisition. This unusual way of arranging the catalogue entries contrasts with the chronological and typological ordering generally imposed by art historical convention. In contrast, it offers an accurate view of the diversity of styles and forms collected by the museum throughout its history.

Adad Hannah
Adad Hannah uses photography, video, installation and performance to generate the still image. His videos are presented in a fixed manner and from a frontal perspective, with skillfully constructed and orchestrated scenes in which participants take part in various activities staged by the artist. Often developing his projects over numerous months or years, doing intensive research and working with large groups of participants through community workshops, Hannah's staged images draw on references ranging from celebrated historical paintings and sculptures to everyday lives. This exhibition catalogue features key works that define the narrative of Hannah's artistic practice: 'Mirroring the Mus...

Faking Death
In Faking Death Penny Cousineau-Levine examines the work of over 120 Canadian photographers, revealing important aspects of Canadian identity and imagination. Contrasting Canadian photography with American and European traditions, she shows that Canadian photographers are often preoccupied with a place that is elsewhere, a doubling and duality that also occurs in Canadian literature, film and political life. Subverting the documentary tradition and other stylistic idioms for their own distinctive ends, Canadian photographers exhibit an ambivalent preoccupation with death and dying, bondage, and entrapment. Cousineau-Levine argues that this is characteristically a faked death that expresses a collective Canadian wish for a symbolic passage to national maturity. The book includes 16 colour reproductions and 150 duotones by artists such as Raymonde April, Jeff Wall, Lynne Cohen, Charles Gagnon, Evergon, Michel Lambeth, Thaddeus Holownia, Geoffrey James, Genevi ve Cadieux, Shelley Niro, Diana Thorneycroft, Jin-me Yoon, Ian Wallace, and Ken Lum. This work provides a visual introduction to one of Canada's most vibrant and internationally recognized artistic media.
