Mining the Media Archive
Mining the Media Archive gathers together an exciting collection of essays by writer and cultural theorist Dot Tuer. Ranging from monographs on new media artists to a history of Canada's most controversial artist-run centre, the CEAC, to testimonial writing on cultural politics and post-colonialism in Canada and Argentina, Tuer's writings address issues of global media and local remembrance through a unique blend of storytelling, archival research and cultural analysis.
Arousing Sensation
When the exhibition Much Sense: Erotics and Life appeared at the Walter Phillips Gallery in 1992, public, political and media Interest was intense. The artists explored issues of sexuality, expressing frank viewpoints on topics such as body image and gay and lesbian sexuality. The explicit content of their work sparked an uproar. Politicians, local and national media, and coalitions of arts organizations began a rancorous media debate, alternately battering and boosting The Banff Centre for the Arts and its support of the exhibition. Arousing Sensation offers a fascinating case study of a controversy concerning freedom of expression, funding for the arts, censorship, sexuality, political responsibility, and journalistic integrity. The book combines thoughtful analysis, critical discourse, and full text media clippings from the public debate. Questions raised by the controversy are as compelling now as they were incendiary then. Book jacket.
Feminisms is Still Our Name
Feminisms have played a crucial part in art, art history and curatorial practices over the last forty years. Hence, it is by now imperative to scrutinize the history of feminist theories and methods within both fields. Feminisms is Still Our Name is an anthology that critically debates the current status of feminisms in visual art and its relation to past art histories and possible feminist futures. It brings together essays by leading scholars in order to meet the urgent need both for a critical historiography and for re-vitalizations of feminist practices within written as well as visual narratives of modern and contemporary art. From a variety of perspectives, the editors and contributors...

Marks and Miriam Jordan, along with an opening statement by the artist - as well as extensive visual documentation relating these works to the installations or projects from which they are derived. The Films and Videos of Jamelie Hassan is published by PLATFORM: Centre for Photographic and Digital Arts and Art Gallery of Windsor in association with Blue Medium Press.
Clay Between My Fingers
This publication presents a challenge to the traditional association of ceramics with function. Much ceramic work continues to be considered in relation to the vessel—the cup, plate and teapot—but there is much more to consider. The four artists in this publication work with ceramics in a broader context, looking at the history, cultural use and social value of clay. Artworks by Millie Chen, Jamelie Hassan, Baco Ohama and Garry Williams are discussed in texts by Sandra Buckley, Amy Gogarty, D.L. Pughe and Reginald Woolery. Sylvie Gilbert, curator of the exhibition, provides an introduction. A groundbreaking essay by Peter White, "Whither Function: Ceramics in the Comfort Zone," directs ceramics out of the comfort zone to discuss possibilities beyond the traditional framework of function.
Technologies of Intuition
The term, "intuition," while commonly used by artists has been somewhat marginalized within art theory and criticism. Whether sensed as a gut feeling or a flash of insight, intuition is central to processes of "coming to know" in aesthetic practice and experience. Many artists habitually rely on extra-rational means of understanding, either in the form of everyday instinct or uncanny cognition. A delicate balance, though, exists between clairvoyance and fantasy, foreknowledge and wishful thinking. Technologies of Intuition demonstrates how artistic sensitivity requires disciplined and cultivated perception. Set in continuity with the compelling history of the Spiritualist Movement and emancipatory feminism, this anthology elucidates intuitive agency as a psychic, somatic and social technology in the fine arts and popular culture.

Scissors, Paper, Stone
Finalist: Raymond Klibansky Book Prize Humanities and Social Sciences Federation of Canada (2008) Making a connection between photography and memory is almost automatic. Should it be? In Scissors, Paper, Stone Martha Langford explores the nature of memory and art. She challenges the conventional emphasis on the camera as a tool of perception by arguing that photographic works are products of the mind - picturing memory is, first and foremost, the expression of a mental process. Langford organizes the book around the conceit of the child's game scissors, paper, stone, using it to ground her discussion of the tensions between remembering and forgetting, the intersection of memory and imagination, and the relationship between memory and history. Scissors, Paper, Stone explores the great variety of photographic art produced by Canadian artists as expressions of memory. Their work, including images by Carl Beam, Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge, Donigan Cumming, Stan Denniston, Robert Houle, Robert Minden, Michael Snow, Diana Thorneycroft, Jeff Wall, and Jin-me Yoon, is presented as part of a rich interdisciplinary study of contemporary photography and how it has shaped modern memory.
