Z : 15 x 21 cm, 190 pages,14 b/w illustrations - This volume brings together seminal texts written over the first 25 years of the magazine. Focused on emerging art practices since its inception, Parachute sought to develop new critical language that could deal with performance. If the early texts refer to the concept of performativity in kinship with the philosophy of language of J.L. Austin and a trans-medium approach, others address questions of genre, feminist and cultural studies, globalization, and institutional critique. The essays discuss works by artists such as Yvonne Rainer, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Kendell Geers, General Idea, and Matthew Barney.

In 1975, a small group of enterprising, discontented members of the international art community in Quebec posed the question: “What do we know of contemporary art outside of Quebec, in Canada or abroad? Do we even know what contemporary art exists in Montreal? How does information about art circulate?” By way of an answer, the artistically unconventional and theoretically cutting-edge magazine Parachute was launched, founded by Chantal Pontbriand and France Morin. Artists such as Jeff Wall, Bill Viola, Stan Douglas, Eija-Liisa Ahtila and many others had the first significant critical reception of their work in Parachute. Similarly, figures such as Douglas Crimp, Thomas Crow, Thierry de Duve, Georges Didi-Huberman, Hal Foster and Laura Mulvey published important early essays in the journal. This second volume of writings from Parachute gathers texts around “Performance and Performativity.”
