The recent drawings of Annie Pootoogook are, on first impression, intimate portraits of a Cape Dorset fishing, hunting and trapping community in full transition. The coloured-pencil and crayon works alternate in subject matter from an imaginative treatment of Pootoogook, her family and friends (profiled in the process of mechanized hunting, the modern preparation and preservation of foods, and the invasion of all forms of electronic entertainment) to the pronounced influences of the South (liquor, omnipresent clocks, incessant television, adult videos). Her drawings, as chronicles of the immediate changes to her mental and physical surroundings, are remarkable less for their insights into traditional and contemporary Inuit lifestyle (or the commercialized visual currency of Inuit myths), than for the way they define what is important in an emerging Nunavut.

Accordion leaf publication, hand wrapped with 24 images.
Introduction by Alexandra Keim, contributions from Lee Plested, Wayne Baerwaldt, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Sabrina Gschwandtner, Matthew Higgs, Instant Coffee, Cate Rimmer and Jennifer Strate O'Neal.
Co-produced by the Illingworth Kerr Gallery and the Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Common Threads was curated by Lee Plested. Based in San Francisco and Vancouver, Plested brought together the works of stellar artists in the spirit of community and the ever-evolving conversation between arts and crafts, with neither being favoured. In a sense, Plested gives us utopia by throwing back the curtains on the erotic personal nature of the handmade - with a few curveballs in the mix.

Introduction and acknowledgments by Wayne Baerwaldt.
Winnipeg-based artist and itinerate gallerist, Paul Butler has, over the last ten years, fashioned a performative college-making event called Collage Party. Butler has visited various cities around the world to organize collage-making sessions lasting one to twelve days. Invited guests and passersby are asked to bring collaging materials or are handed a stack of magazines, newspapers and other materials to which they can apply scissors, glue tape and other adhesives to develop individually constructed or collectively organized collages. Butler selects the 'successful' collages from the heaps of art and artmaking debris scattered throughout a typical Collage Party space and exhibits a selection of collages on the walls.

The 2007 Biennale de Montreal: Crack the Sky presents new and recent work from more than fifty artists and artist groups from cross Canada and abroad. From the beginning, the idea of curatorial collaboration seemed essential to the spirit of the investigation.
Crack the Sky aims to challenge and provoke viewers with a range of inconsistencies and contradictions, driven by the ideas of mostly Canadian cultural producers and shaped by new media and the adoption of new and provisional materials. The stylistic range of artwork should not be so surprising in a pluralist, highly mobile sub-society of artists. The presentations are predictably diverse and may, at least on their initial viewing, seem thematically incompatible when juxtaposed, but the majority of the works are generally interrelated, linked as they are by an overarching genre hybridity and their elliptical return to shifting border concepts.

12 leaf pullout publication with 7 black and white images. Includes artist biography and interview between Turcot and curator Wayne Baerwaldt.
Environmental concerns have shaped Susan Turcot's most recent body of work. Her project Faultlines, takes the form of seven large drawings and a film-based drawing ,transferred to dvd. Both forms investigate the systematic and rapid depletion of the highly fragile ecosystem of Canada's boreal forest north of Quebec City. During the summer of 2004 she visited and documented a vast deforestation zone, just some of the thirty land packages - contrats d'approvisionment et d'amenagement forestier - that the Quebec government has signed over to the forestry industry.

Remakes, Variations (1741-2049) is an exhibition of recent works by 2008 Sobey Award winning artist Tim Lee. Thematically oriented around the premise of remaking artworks that, likewise, are remakes themselves, the exhibition features twin bodies of work that both replicate and re-imagine seminal moments in slapstick comedy and classical music. With sources that range from Johann Sebastian Bach to Glenn Gould, and Peter Sellers to Steve Martin, Lee suggestively interpolates himself with the history of his subjects by loosely reconstructing specific works associated with their creators; and, in so doing, maps out an extended timeline that travels from the historical past to the imagined future.

Introduction by Wayne Baerwaldt and interview with the artists by Jason Kennett.
Wildflowers of Manitoba is a performative installation of still and moving images, recorded sound, pensive young actors, ephemera and, often, a contemplative, voyeuristic audience. It is an installation that for all intents and purposes could only originate on the spiritually resonant shores of Beaconia Beach, Lake Winnipeg, Canada. Wildflowers of Manitoba is an artistic statement on the contradictions of, and generational currents of resistance to, prescribed modern values and border issues.
