John Kissick: A Nervous Decade
Roald Nasgaard, Liz Wylie & Jason Lahr
Painter, educator and writer. As an artist, John Kissick has built a reputation with tumultuous abstract paintings marked by an encyclopedic array of painted motifs and textures drawn from a global pool of visual representation. This first career monograph traces the trajectory of Kissick's work from its origins in the reconfigurations of abstract expressionism, through to its current immersion in hybrid painting and popular culture. Three essays by noted curators and critics trace the critical trajectory of Kissick’s work over the past decade. Parallel to his career as an artist, Kissick has authored numerous books, notably, Art: Context and Criticism (1996) and was Head of Painting at Penn State University School of Visual Arts. His work can be found in major collections throughout North America.

Geoffrey James: Field Notes
Geoffrey JamesField Notes is a continuation of James’ interest in the agrarian landscape, with a special focus on the Waterloo region in densely populated southwestern Ontario. These photographs show us an idyllic pastoral landscape as it is today. Yet urban encroachment and highway traffic jams announce pending change – an acknowledgment that we are witnessing a landscape on the cusp of dramatic transformation. The photographs of Geoffrey James have been the subject of numerous exhibitions and featured in several publications. This limited boxed set edition of individual photographs offers a more immediate connection with the artist’s work.

Andrew Wright: Blind Man's Bluff
Robert Enright & Andrew Wright
The Blind Man's Bluff publication and DVD package is a unique outcome of a video installation. The original installation includes a video showing a man watching a monitor, wearing a set of earphones and describing what he sees and hears of Boris Karloff's last film. The viewer never sees the actual movie but instead watches the man respond to the film. One must read the transcribed dialogue while the actor relays Wright's descriptive script for the movie, thus creating an extraordinary cinematic experience as the visual becomes auditory and the auditory visual. The elegant publication includes an essay, the script and the feature length DVD.
