Shelley Niro: Almost Fallen
Ivan Jurakic and Steve Loft
This new photo series draws upon historical parallels between Native identity and the Canadian landscape. Niro appropriates media constructed stereotypes of the 'Indian' to question our assumptions and expectations. She uses her artmaking as a means of communicating dignity, humanity and humour. Shelley Niro is a member of the Turtle Clan, Bay of Quinte Mohawk from the Six Nations Reserve. Published in collaboration with Urban Shaman Gallery.

Edited by Esther E. Shipman & Sascha Hastings

Why are libraries such desirable commissions for contemporary architects and the frequent source of inspiration for artists and writers through the ages? Logotopia - the ancient Greek for "word place" - explores the library through architecture, art, and literature. With an astonishing multidisciplinary approach, these original writings examine both ancient and contemporary libraries - notably Egypt's Biblioteca Alexandria and Japan's Library of a Poet - as well as libraries of the imagination as seen through fiction, art, new media and pop culture. Punctuated with interviews and essays, Logotopia explores the library as a concept and a built form through four distinct forms - the Universal Library, the National Library, the Public Library and the Private Library. Discussions range from ancient Alexandria to modern Baghdad and from personal experiences to national identities. This original collection is richly illustrated with photographs, sculptures, models and installations from the past, present and perhaps the future.

Mike Parsons: Hey Apathy!
Sascha Hastings
Mike Parsons is an emerging Toronto artist who is attracting attention for his dramatic large-scale black and white drawings. Exploding buildings, cities of bones, mushroom clouds and frenzied crowds are metaphors for the anxieties of contemporary urban life. Born from an interest in graphic novels and Japanese manga, Parsons' virtuoso application of ink to paper transforms familiar urban settings into something fantastical. This publication accompanies Parsons' first solo exhibition in a public gallery and includes an essay and an interview with the artist.
