Drive By: A Road Trip with Jeff Thomas
Anna Hudson, Dave Bidini and Andrea Naomi WalshJeff Thomas’ photographs explore the juxtapositions of past and present and of historical imagery and contemporary reality in the relationship between Native and non-Native peoples. These new photographs document a road trip of inter-cultural exploration with Thomas at the wheel. As if from his passing car he gives us ‘snaps’ of historical monuments and public architecture whose designs and facades incorporte depictions of Indians. Seen from Thomas’ perspective the evidence of First Peoples' influence on popular culture and their power within contemporary society is abundant and ominpresent. Three essays accompany a text by the artist. Jeff Thomas is an Iroquois/Onondaga photographer born in Buffalo, New York and now living in Ottawa. His works can be found in many major collections including the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian.

Isaacs Seen
Edited by Donnalu Wigmore
Av Isaacs and the galleries he founded had a profound influence on the Canadian art scene for nearly fifty years. From the 1955 opening of the Greenwich Gallery through the three decades of the Isaacs Gallery and the Isaacs/Innuit Gallery, Avrom Isaacs has been a prime mover of art and artists. Reminiscent of a scrap book with hundreds of photographs from private collections, this publication provides the reader with an intimate look at the man and the artists he fostered. Isaacs was one of the first in Canada to open a contemporary art gallery and the first in the world to open a gallery dedicated specifically to Inuit art. He had a defining influence on the careers of artists like Dennis Burton, William Kurelek, Michael Snow, Tony Urquhart, Joyce Wieland, Jessie Oonark and artists from Baker Lake. The astonishing range of contributors testifies to Isaacs' lengthy and multi-faceted career. Artists like Dennis Burton and Gathie Falk, curators and directors like Dennis Reid and Pierre Theberge, gallery owners like Olga Korper and Don Lake and critics like Gary Michael Dault and Robert Fulford are among the 50 individuals who reflect on the trials and triumphs of fifty years in the art world. Includes several colour plates, a comprehensive listing of all Isaacs Gallery exhibitions and Av Isaac's own commentary. Co-published with The Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, Hart House and with the Art Gallery of Ontario.
