Over the past 30 years, Canadian artists Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge have developed a collaborative practice of working with organized labor to reveal the increasingly complex relationships between paid work and global, ethical and environmental concerns. This volume, with 112 color reproductions of Condé and Beveridge's major projects, is the first comprehensive examination of the pair's influential work. Their collaboration began in 1976 when--through their involvement with the New York collaborative Art &amp; Language and the nascent Conceptual art movement--they turned from solo production and formalist art-making to social engagement, which combines left-oriented discourses with the artists' formal and technical innovations, and which presaged the currently prevalent practice in which art-making is understood as an articulation of human conditions and a tool of community formation. This volume includes a chronology of their practice and essays by Jan Allen, D'Arcy Martin, Declan McGonagle, Allan Sekula, Dot Tuer and Bruce Barber and an extensive interview by Clive Robertson.

"You have breast cancer." These are words that 1 in 8 women will hear in their lifetime. The words resonate a harsh, cruel reality. Jan Allen heard those words in 2010 at age 44 and was shocked. With her passion for travel, Jan decided to approach the upcoming months through Stage II, grade 3 aggressive breast cancer as another journey on her life's path. In Have Breast Cancer, Will Travel Jan gives us a very personal glimpse into cancer diagnosis and treatments. Relying on her faith and a wonderfully supportive husband and family, she brings us along on her journey. Through these "Postcards", Jan's message of hope amidst tragedy resounds. Self-declared "Pink Warrior", she takes us one day at a time through her year-long exhaustive fight. Jan's easy-to-read, intimate style will delight your heart and encourage your soul whether it's cancer or another crisis you may be facing today. JAN ALLEN has been traveling the world since she was 17 years old, including several years as a Pan Am Flight Attendant. More recently she worked for six years as a representative for the Caribbean island of Aruba. Surviving breast cancer, Jan has a new mission to raise awareness and funding for the disease and support those with the diagnosis. She is a mother to two children, Zack and Savannah, and a stepmother to three boys, Scott, Mike and Tom. Jan, her husband Scott, and their little rescue dog Lucky live in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii.

With drawings spanning 2001 to 2006, this publication focuses on Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Nunavut, the Arctic community that has been the focus of Annie Pootoogook's practice. Recasting the artistic traditions of the renowned West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative Ltd. (now Kinngait Co-op), Pootoogook vividly conveys 21st-century realities of the life in the settlement. While her drawings offer unflinching documentation of life in a community in transition, she also bears witness to the bonds among its people. In her work, we see Pootoogook's approach refined and applied to the elements of daily life in domestic interiors, community activities, supernatural incidents and interpersonal conflict. In the context of the broad popular appeal of Inuit graphics, these works are distinguished by a disconcerting emotional reserve. The artist achieves a cool observational quality that pushes at the edges of comedy or hysteria, a condition of charged understatement that has drawn intense critical interes

Howie Tsui's extraordinary Friendly Fire exhibition blends the history of medicine with a haunting, unruly commemoration of the War of 1812 in this collaborative presentation produced with the Museum of Health Care at Kingston. Three essays explore Tsui's practice and the aspects of the War illuminated by his installations, including the psychological conditions of war, factitious diseases and self-injury, counter-narratives of conflict, ethno-political strife, medical theories and practices of the period, the uneasy relations between the British and their aboriginal allies, and carnivalesque representations of war in popular culture. Howie Tsui s work is included in the group exhibition Phantoms of Asia currently showing at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.

History & Criticism

Accompanying the Brooklyn-based artist's solo museum exhibition, this first monograph reveals an artistic practice that is conceptually rich and imbued with a lush sense of history. Engaging with various media, with works in video, photography and sculpture, the artist riffs on the traditions of Modernism and Conceptualism to interrogate time and materiality. In her investigation of systems and forms of knowledge Shirreff's work is situated in the lineage of figures such as Robert Smithson and Thomas Struth. Produced by three public galleries, this illustrated publication accompanies an exhibition featuring works produced since 2009 that will travel across the country throughout the year. Erin Shirreff's work has been exhibited at MoMA PS1, Metropolitan Museum of Art, White Cube and the Power Plant. Two essays and an interview with the artist.
