2017 Canadian Biennial
Innovative and diverse artworks by artists from across the country and beyond are featured in this fourth edition of the Canadian Biennial. Richly illustrated with dozens of colour plates, the publication provides individual presentations on each artist as well as a comprehensive scholarly text. The author looks at the dynamic ways in which artists engage with the increasingly globalized world of contemporary art through a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, printmaking, video and installation-based practices. Migration, the impact and interpretation of history and belief systems on contemporary art and culture, stereotypes of identity and nationhood, and...
Caught in the Act
Flagrant délit. La performance du spectateur est une exposition d'envergure qui témoigne de l'engagement constant du Musée des beaux-arts du Canada envers l'art contemporain canadien. Onze artistes et collectifs nous invitent à explorer notre rôle en tant que participant dans la démarche artistique; le rapport dynamique entre le spectateur et l'objet devient tout aussi primordial que l'objet d'art en soi. Le catalogue d'exposition documente seize grandes installations sculpturales, tandis que les essais fournissent des perspectives éclairantes sur le travail des artistes de Flagrant délit. --

Duchamp Accelerated
"While much of this work supports the existing narratives that have dominated Duchampian scholarship for decades, such as his role in the European Dada movement and the philosophical ideas that influenced him, the cutting-edge essays collected in this book push our understanding of Duchamp beyond the limits of existing criticism. Written in the specific context of the 21st century, Duchamp Accelerated: Contemporary Perspectives situates the artist firmly in a global context and highlights the numerous influences - from Marxist philosophy and the writings of Georges Bataille, to travels in Argentina - that shaped his ideas and art. The volume also includes chapters on the Dada collection in I...
The Art of Diplomacy
A personal and insightful call to action and a much-needed book about one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world—the relationship between Canada and the US—and why diplomacy matters now more than ever before. All over the world, diplomacy is under threat. Diplomats used to handle sensitive international negotiations, but increasingly, incendiary Tweets and bombastic public statements are posing a threat to foreign relations. In The Art of Diplomacy, the former US ambassador to Canada, Bruce Heyman, and his partner, Vicki Heyman, spell out why diplomacy and diplomats matter, especially in today’s turbulent times. This dynamic power couple arrived in Canada intent on ...
"Nouveau R?isme, 1960s France, and the Neo-avant-garde "
Jill Carrick's Nouveau R?isme, 1960s France, and the Neo-avant-garde provides the first in-depth historical analysis of the "New Realism" movement and the critical and theoretical debates it engaged. This text makes available a new corpus of material - the rich historical and theoretical analysis as well as the fascinating photographic documentation of artists and works - from one of the most significant French art movements of the post-World War II period, whose literature has up to now been dominated by the terms of its founder, Pierre Restany. The illustrations and surprising contextual material - many of which have been unearthed by the author's archival research - document artwork, artists' collaborations, and ephemeral events.

Misled by Nature
Contemporary Art and the Baroque. Featuring the work of six international artists, this publication examines a recurring facet of contemporary artistic production material excess, accumulation, bravado, asymmetry, and theatricality. The impact of such art is decidedly visual and primeval, with artists creating powerfully immersive environments aimed at enticing, challenging and even unsettling viewers. Three essays discuss ornamentation, hybridity, material sensibilities, transformation and the sublime in contemporary art practice."
