Jin-me Yoon
Jin-me Yoon: Unbidden (Out of print)
Susan Edelstein & Susette Min
Yoon's video installations and photographic works address the traumas of war and the effects of the current war on terrorism. Through the staging of war-like imagery, the work plays on the viewer's memory and automatic response to imagery.

Lost Homelands
Elizabeth Edwards, Annette Hurtig, Shauna McCabe, Dannys Montes de Orca Moreda and Alfred Young Man
Five essays examine the implications of Landscape as it relates to the creation and meaning of national identities in the work of four international artists. In questioning the meaning and function of national identity, Manuel Pina (Cuba), Jorma Puranen (Finland), Edward Poitras and Jin-me Yoon (Canada) explore through their work the powerful yet fragile notion of place and belonging. Although diverse in treatment and presentation, the common medium is largely photo-based and the common concerns include the construction of official history, cultural representation, colonialism and territorial rights. Each essay is accompanied by a statement by the artist and a resumé.

Beaver Tales
Reid Diamond & Marnie Fleming
Throughout history the Beaver has been the source of both admiration and annoyance while always sustaining the imagination of artists. In Canada it has been seen as a picture of tradition and stability but the Beaver has also acted as a potent cultural signifier. The 15 artists presented here speak to characteristics of the Beaver in all its guises: as a symbol of engineering (Frank. O. Gehry, Komar and Melamid); as a concept of female mythology (Joyce Wieland); as a search for identity (Jin-me Yoon); as an integral part of the environment (Carl Skelton) and as muse and inspiration (Fastwurms). Fleming's essay provides an historical overview of the Beaver and its symbolic uses from the early days of Hudson's Bay Company through Expo 67 to contemporary merchandising. Diamond's essay looks at the works themselves. Accompanied by artists' statements.
