Artist Kent Monkman's all-encompassing project, Shame and
Prejudice: A Story of Resilience, takes viewers on a journey
through Canada's history, starting in the present and going back to
before Canadian confederation. Throughout the book there are
clever, albeit controversial, commentaries told by Monkman's
genderfluid, time-travelling, supernatural alter-ego Miss Chief
Eagle Testickle. Her narratives take viewers through the history of
New France and the fur trade, the nineteenth-century dispossession
of First Nations lands through Canadian colonial policies, the
horrors of the residential school system, and modern First Nations
experiences in urban environments. Shame and Prejudice challenges
predominant narratives of Canadian history and honours the
resilience of First Nations peoples. This book accompanies
Monkman's largest solo exhibition to date, which is currently
travelling across Canada at venues including the Art Museum at the
University of Toronto, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Glenbow Museum
in Calgary, and the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver. The
exhibition includes the artist's own paintings, drawings, and
sculptural works, which form a dialogue with historical artefacts
and artworks borrowed from museums and private collections across
Canada. The book is trilingual with all text in English, French and
Cree.
Award-winning author, curator, and activist Lucy R. Lippard is one
of America's most influential writers on contemporary art, a
pioneer in the fields of cultural geography, conceptualism, and
feminist art. Hailed for "the breadth of her reading and the
comprehensiveness with which she considers the things that define
place" ("The New York Times"), Lippard now turns her keen eye to
the politics of land use and art in an evolving New West.
Working from her own lived experience in a New Mexico village and
inspired by gravel pits in the landscape, Lippard weaves a number
of fascinating themes--among them fracking, mining, land art, adobe
buildings, ruins, Indian land rights, the Old West, tourism,
photography, and water--into a tapestry that illuminates the
relationship between culture and the land. From threatened Native
American sacred sites to the history of uranium mining, she offers
a skeptical examination of the "subterranean economy."
Featuring more than two hundred gorgeous color images,
"Undermining" is a must-read for anyone eager to explore a new way
of understanding the relationship between art and place in a
rapidly shifting society.

Pop Art embodied the spirit of the 1960s. Despite its carnival
aspects, its orgiastic colour and giant scale, it was based on a
tough, no-nonsense, no-refinement standard appropriate to its time.
Here several critics, each involved in Pop Art, but with different
backgrounds, vividly bring the movement to life. Lucy Lippard
examines Pop's precursors ranging from folk art, Surrealism and
Dada, Stuart Davis and Leger, to the Reuben group, Assemblage,
Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, and discusses Pop Art in New York
best known for Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann, James
Rosenquist and Claes Oldenburg.
A study of how prehistoric images get overlaid onto contemporary
art by today's artists. It attempts to understand how art can be
meaningfully reintegrated into the fabric of society as a whole, as
in prehistoric times.
