Home Show
Anne Brydon & Amy Karlinsky

Publication of a thematically-driven exhibition with works from Canadian and international artists. Through a wide range of strategies, the curatorial goal is to enliven, investigate, extend and make strange our relationship to the concept and the reality of "home". Mediated by gender, economics, social expectation and mass culture, the representations of home are effected through video, photography, installations, sculpture and mixed media. In an era when Homeland security has taken on new "close-to-home" meaning and where real estate is seen as the only secure recourse, this publication enables us to consider new meanings of an ancient drive. participating artists include Jeff Wall (Destroyed Room), Jamelie Hassan (Smurfistan) and Sam Taylor-Wood (Brontosaurus).

Museopathy
Jan Allen, Jim Drobnick & Jennifer Fisher

Intended to expand the discourse on the role of the museum, these essays interrogate conventions of display and re-imagine how artifacts are exhibited and history is represented. Based on what may be the largest on-site event ever to be held in Canada, the publication explores fourteen site-specific installations and performances that intervened into museums devoted to the widest possible range of historical and social phenomena. Parings of artists with museums were "brilliantly made" (Nancy Tousley, Canadian Art) with, among others, Brian Jurgen in the Correctional Services of Canada Museum, Jamelie Hassan in the Museum of Health Care, Fastürms in the Museum of Geology and Mineralogy, and Joyce Wieland's 1967 video Sailboat projected on board the Museum Ship Alexander Henry. Produced in association with DisplayCult
