Funkaesthetics
Luis Jacob, Adrain Piper & Pan Wendt
Funk is best known as a style of dance music that originated in the African-American community in the 1960s. Funkaesthetics is premised on the idea that Funk constitutes a uniquely rich system of thought. With its interest in ancient Egypt and the allegorical futures of science-fiction and its focus on the figure of the concept of the alien, Funk manifests a vision of time and identity as mutable and open to transformation. This collection of original essays explores the social, political, pedagogical, and aesthetic influences of Funk culture within a trans-historical context. Participating artists include Pedro Bell, George Clinton and Will Munro. Published with the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery.

Jayce Salloum: History of the Present (Selected Works 1985-2009)
Edited by Jen Budney
This monograph accompanying the first retrospective of this important Canadian artist’s career fills an large gap in contemporary art documentation. There are many reasons for Salloum’s relatively low profile in his home country, including the non-commercial and interdisciplinary nature of his work (photography and video practices, collaborative, community-based work, curating and writing) and its extremely broad international focus. Yet Salloum is one of Canada’s most widely recognized artists abroad, where his distinctive commitment to the exploration of personal stories and viewpoints within unstable or uncertain geo-political contexts has led him to collaborations with individuals and communities in places as far-ranging as Palestine, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Cuba, Lebanon and more. The comprehensive publication brings together diverse and sometimes competing voices of many individuals to reflect upon the impact of Salloum’s production. Contributors include Keith Wallace, Jamelie Hassan, Walid Raad and Haema Sivanesan. Published with the Mendel Art Gallery.

Thaddeus Howlonia: Station, Irving Architectural Landscapes
Shauna McCabe & Annmarie Adams
The Irving Oil Company has long played an important role in the economic and cultural landscape of Eastern Canada. Its holdings, ranging from the country's largest refinery to the western hemisphere's first deep-water terminal, also include the ubiquitous Irving gas station. Thaddeus Howlonia, with his trademark panoramic photography, has documented dozens of these structures over twenty five years, often photographing the same station years apart. His work reveals the complex interaction these boxy modernist structures with their material clutter have with a region known for its traditional, picturesque vernacular. In English and French.
La Irving Oil Company a joué un rôle important dans le développement des paysages culturels des provinces des maritimes. Le photographe Thaddeus Howlonia s'intéresse ici particulièrement aux stations-service de la compagnie qui font depuis plusieurs décennies partie du paysage social. En photographiant ces stations, certaines à différentes époques, Howlonia nous révèle l'interaction complexe entre ces structures modernistes et leur région réputée pour son architecture vernaculaire, traditionnelle et pittoresque.
