Josée Drouin-Brisebois
Adopting and elaborating upon stylistic repertoires drawn from the history of figure painting, Steven Shearer makes formal and thematic parallels between art history and the iconography associated with contemporary subcultures including their modes of dissemination such as fanzines and image shrines on personal websites. He is interested in how contemporary society unconsciously echoes specific manners of appearance that have been explored by historical movements or schools. Seen in this light the resemblance between the long, flowing hair his metal-head rockers and the tresses of Pre-Raphaelite heroines is not fortuitous. Central to Shearer’s work is his ongoing compilation of an archive of thousands of images culled from magazines, songs and the internet. In his paintings, text-based works, sculptures and photographic compilations, these sources function generatively as they are combined and recycled across his works. By showing us aspects of popular culture anachronistically, Shearer exposes the false hierarchy of high and low art and prompts us to consider the differences between the cultural industries and the art world. This generously-illsustrated limited edition accompanies Shearer’s presentation at the 2011 Venice Biennial for which he is the official Canadian representative.

It Is What It Is: Recent Acquisitions of New Canadian Art (Out of Print)
Josée Drouin-Brisebois, Greg A. Hill & Andrea Kunard
Contributors: Heather Anderson, Kari Cwynar, Gerry Gauthier, Linda Grussani, Martha Hanna,
Candice Hopkins, Christine Lalonde, Steven Loft, Jonathan Shaughnessy, Rhiannon Vogl
Featuring the most innovative Canadian artists working today, this visually stunning publication is an essential reference for students, teachers and collectors of new art. Attesting to the National Gallery’s commitment to collecting contemporary Canadian art, three essays and over fifty individual presentations provide a thorough overview of emerging, mid-career and senior artists from all regions, traditions and practices. Josée Drouin-Brisebois details the unique ways contemporary Canadian artists tackle the state of the world with interdisciplinary modes of self-expression that explode traditional categories, materials and genres. Greg Hill asserts that Indigenous art in Canada has deep roots and that artists of First Nations, Metis and Inuit descent are heirs to an ancient history. He traces the ongoing emergence of Indigenous art into the forums of the contemporary art milieu in Canada and internationally. Andrea Kunard tracks how photography continues to adroitly position itself on the cusp of the analogue and the digital, exploiting both technologies to create works that exist in both fact and fiction. Among the many artists featured are David Altmejd, Shuvani Ashoona, Rebecca Belmore, Shary Boyle, Geoffrey Farmer, Adad Hannah, Wanda Koop, Tim Lee, Tim Pitsiulak, Yannick Pouliot, Steven Shearer, Jeff Wall, Chih-Chien Wang and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun.National Gallery of Canada (November 2010) 164 pp 150 col. ill. 11.5 x 8.75 in softcover 978-0-88884-881-9 $40.00 Can. $45.00 U.S. (32 €)

Contributors: Greg A. Hill, Gerald McMaster, Virginia Eichhorn, Alan Corbiere, Crystal Migwans and Ann Beam
This major retrospective publication confirms Carl Beam (1943 - 2005) as one of Canada's most important artists. Beam broke new ground throughout his career, notably as the first artist of Native Ancestry (Ojibwe), to have his work purchased by the National Gallery of Canada as Contemporary Art. Working in various mediums - photography, oil, acrylic, text on canvas, stone, cement, wood, ceramics and found objects - Beam explored the tensions between Western and Aboriginal relations. Featuring more than 50 of Beam’s most remarkable works from his early career in the 1970s to the end of his production in the early 2000s, this generously illustrated monograph illuminates the artist’s investigations into the metaphysical aspects of Western and Indigenous culture, while powerfully illustrating the wide-ranging physicality of his work.

Wanda Koop: On the Edge of Experience
Robin Laurence, Mary Reid & Josée Drouin-Brisebois
One of Canada’s most innovative artists Wanda Koop has worked as a painter for nearly three decades. During this time she has created an overwhelming body of work delineated by distinct suites that are tied to an overarching critique of how modes of technology impact nature. In her exploration of the interface between technology and the natural world, Koop employs a distinctive visual language of culturally encoded signs and symbols that describe an idea of place. Her vision - a prodigious union of the strategies of abstraction with the traditions of landscape painting - reflects both her conceptualist training and her personal influences. This original publication accompanies a retrospective touring exhibition initiated by two of the country’s most prestigious institutions, the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada.National Gallery of Canada (09/2010) 164 pp 120 col. ill. 8 x 11 in softcover 978-0-88884-878-9 $45.00 Can. $50.00 U.S. (36 €)
Angela Grauerholz : The Inexhaustible Image
Martha Hannah with Marnie Fleming & Olivier Asselin
The work of Angela Grauerholz occupies an important place in Canadian and international photography. From the 1980s on, her search to redefine the art of photography has taken various forms including portraits and interior and exterior scenes with or without people. Yet regardless of the subject, her work gives an impression of timelessness with images that are both commonplace and sublime. This retrospective publication covers twenty years of production and highlights Grauerholz’s major photographic and installation works. Three critical essays discuss the work in relation to time, memory and representation. Born in Germany and a graduate of the Kunstschule Alsterdamm, Angela Grauerholz lives and works in Montreal where she is director of the Centre de Design at Université du Québec à Montréal. She has exhibited most notably at Documenta IX, the 1995 Carnegie International and at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Photography.

James Borcoman
The range of photographic vision in the National Gallery’s collection of 19th Century French photographs is vast.

With over 200 illustrations, this abundantly illustrated publication features an original essay on the development of photography in 19th Century France as well as sixty-six individual presentations. Among the dozens of photographers discussed are Eugène Atget, Edouard Baldus, Maxime Du Camp, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Nègre, and Auguste Salzmann.

Gabor Szilasi: The Eloquence of the Everyday
David Harris
Over the course of the last 50 years Gabor Szilasi has created a remarkable body of photographic work. His photographs, which are found in numerous private and public collections, have been sustained by an unwavering belief in the humanistic and documentary value of the medium. This publication uncovers the essence of Szilasi’s artistic vision through his observations of urban and rural life and his recordings of the connections between culture and community. While much of the work was undertaken for specific projects, it is gathered here so as to reveal larger patterns of social interaction and cultural values that only become apparent when photographs taken over time are brought together. Published in conjunction with a major touring exhibition, this lavishly illustrated monograph contains over 260 images, including 121 plates.

Scott McFarland: A Cultivated View
Andrea Kunard
A precarious balance between the human and natural worlds comes to the fore in Scott McFarland's large-scale photographs of meticulously maintained private gardens. These gorgeous yet exacting images reveal the precarious balance between human and natural worlds and how photography’s link to reality is both true and fabricated. This publication explores how McFarland manipulates the photograph to depict a state of harmony and peacefulness that borders on artificiality. Scott McFarland lives and works in Vancouver. This publication is the first substantial overview of his work.

This thematically based publication focuses on works by Vancouver-based artists Gareth Moore, Geoffrey Farmer, Myfawny MacLeod, Hadley & Maxwell, and Althea Thauberger whose practices manifest different interpretations of nomadism - or a way of life that takes place in a non-structured environment where movement plays an important role. At times it is the artists’ practice that is nomadic: they travel specifically to gather materials and document interventions made along the way. In other cases the objects themselves are nomadic, becoming staged sets or kits that adapt to their specific context of display. In further instances the works are event-based, favouring interaction and collaboration with a particular community. The artists in Nomads shift our expectations of the art object and question notions of authorship, authenticity and museum display.National Gallery of Canada (04/2009) 88 pp col. ill. 8 x 6 in softcover 978-0-88884-862-8 $22.00 Can. $23.95 U.S. (15 €)

Caught in the Act: The Viewer as Performer
Edited by Josée Drouin-Brisebois
A collection of original essays that looks at sculpture - not as an inanimate object - but as an art form that engages, and even relies on, the spectator. This overview of artists working today shows that each has come to sculpture from a different perspective, including performance, installation, environmental art, minimal art, body art, video and relationist aesthetics. In contrast to the conventional relationships between work, artist, and spectator, these sculptures and installations emphatically declare the role of the participant over the authorial role of the artist - indeed, over the very art object itself. Whether immersive environments, sculptures involving a bodied spectator, or encounters that promote interaction, all of these works reflect current interest in participatory art practices. Artists discussed include Mowry Baden, Rebecca Belmore, Max Dean, Geoffrey Farmer, Massimo Guerrera, Rodney La Tourelle, Jennifer Marman & Daniel Borins, Kent Monkman and Jana Sterbak.The main essay is accompanied by contributions from Greg Hill, Curator of Indigenous Art, independent researcher Anne-Marie Ninacs and arts writer Stephen Horne. Also featured is a text project by performance artist Glen Johnson (a.k.a. Hugh Briss).

Central European Drawings from the National Gallery of
Canada
Mitchell B. Frank with Erika Dolphin
Five hundred years of draughtsmanship in the German-speaking
countries of Europe magnificently illustrated with seventy
outstanding works. Drawn from the National Gallery of Canada's
permanent collection with many published here for the first time,
they include graceful figure studies by Dürer and Klimt,
engaging Romantic landscapes by Koch and Hackert, graphic
Expressionist sketches by Kirchner and Nolde, and disturbing
modern caricatures by Dix and Grosz. Ranging from from the
Renaissance to the early 20th century, these drawings reflect the
transformation of a territory from its rule by the Holy Roman
Empire to its modern identity as the independent states of
Germany, Switzerland and Austria. A scholarly essay considers the
works within their complex historical and artistic contexts.
Accompanied by seventy individual notations, each illustrated with
a full-colour plate. Mitchell B. Frank is Associate Professor of
Art History at Carleton University, Ottawa. Erika Dolphin is
Assistant Curator, European and American Art at the National
Gallery of Canada.

Daphne Odjig
Bonnie Devine, Duke Redbird & Robert Houle
The discovery, in the 1950s, of the ancient iconography of the
Algonkian people was a lightning rod for the collective Aboriginal
conscience in Canada. When Daphne Odjig and Norval Morrisseau
began to produce paintings in the 1960s depicting the Algonkian
legends they were heralded as the heirs of that ancient lineage.
As Morrisseau pursued his characteristic iconic style, Odjig
developed a varied and experimental graphic and narrative
practice. Comparisons have been drawn between her work and cubism,
surrealism and abstract-expressionism. Yet, while her aesthetic
investigations place her outside any one stylistic genre, her
themes and imagery remain distinctly Aboriginal. The drawings and
paintings presented here represent forty-four years of Daphne
Odjig's artistic production and include examples of her legend
paintings, history murals, erotica, abstractions and landscapes.
As a group, these works articulate the breadth of Odjig's visual
engagement with her personal and cultural history. As a linear
narrative, they trace the remarkable development of the artist
from initial experimentation to mature mastery of her media.
Daphne Odjig has exhibited worldwide and is a 2007 recipient of
the Governor General's Award in Visual Arts, the country's highest

Modernist Photographs from the National Gallery of Canada
Ann Thomas
This original publication, which focuses on the early decades of the twentieth century, is the first in a new series devoted to the study of photographic masterpieces from the National Gallery of Canada's international collection. Examining the expansive, innovative and often contradictory modernist ethos that shaped the creation and use of photographic art from 1900 to 1940, this generously illustrated publication highlights dozens of works from Germany, England, Czech Republic, United States, France, Russia, Hungary, Japan and Canada. An introductory essay describes the development of photography artistically, technically and socially. Following the essay, 79 individual works are presented within the context of their times. Each is illustrated with a full-page duo tone plate. Among the artists are some of the world's greatest photographic innovators, notably Eugène Atget, Margaret Bourke-White, Brassaï, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Lisette Model, Alexander Rodchenko and Edward Weston

De-con-structions
Josée Drouin Brisebois
De-con-structions focuses on works by Quebec artists whose interventions question the museum as idea and context. The practices of these artists are experimental in that they seek new ways to perturb our expectations of what is an art object and how galleries have come to inform and influence our experience of art. The installations created by these artists prompt the museum to confront and question its role of collecting, preserving, and displaying art. In their hands, the gallery space itself is transformed from a repository for art into an artist's studio and laboratory. Partcipating artists are Michel de Broin, Jean Pierre Gauthier, Karilee Fuglem, Tricia Middleton and Annie Thibault.

Art Metropole: The Top 100
Kitty Scott, Jonathan Shaughnessy, Peggy Gale & AA Bronson
Founded in 1974 by artist group General Idea, Art Metropole was one of the first artist-run centres in Canada as well as one of the first to collect and preserve international art ephemera from the 1960s on. These rare multiples, mail art pieces, artist's books and audio works by major figures such as Maria Abramovic, Christian Boltanski, Chris Burden and John Cage, are now housed in the National Gallery of Canada. From the collection of over 13,000 items, one hundred have been chosen to illustrate a movement and a time. Among the writers, Peggy Gale provides a history of both Art Metropole and General Idea. AA Bronson, co-founder of General Idea, offers a text generated from the alphabetical checklist of 'The Top 100'. The artist uses both objects and people as starting points for anecdotal and personal commentaries on individual works and artists. This singular publication is an essential resource for students, teachers and anyone interested in the origins of contemporary art practice as related by those who were there.
