The Historical Ruse: Art in Montreal = La Ruse Historique: L'Art a Montreal

"Through his judicious alteration of scale and function, Canadian based artist, Kim Adams, playfully manipulates everyday objects, toys, vehicles and mass-produced shelters into an art all his own. This tiny but action packed catalog opulently illustrates through extensive color reproductions two concurrent exhibitions: a major survey of Adam's work from 1983-2001 sponsored at The Power Plant and Bruegel-Bosch Bus, at Oakville Galleries. Featured essays by Tomas Pospiszyl and Marnie Fleming, along with an interview by curator Marc Mayer."

Known for his mastery of silent film techniques and outrageously campy scenarios, Guy Maddin is one of the cutting-edge forces behind independent filmmaking. This book features the screenplay for his latest film, Cowards Bend the Knee, stills from films including Tales from the Gimli Hospital and Twilight of the Ice Nymphs, a revealing interview by Robert Enright and an introduction by curator Philip Monk. A must for contemporary film libraries.
