Synopsis

FRENCH LANGUAGE EDITION. Since its inauguration in 2010, the Canadian Biennial has become a stellar event on the Canadian arts scene. Featuring over 100 works by more than 40 established and emerging artists, this new publication documents the Biennial's second edition with discussions of contemporary artistic as well as collecting practices, revealing how curators work to understand, assess and place artists within the spectrum of some of the country's foundational practitioners. To this end, artist statements are accompanied by passages from the original curatorial justifications presented at the National Gallery's acquisition meetings. Authoritative essays on the state of contemporary Canadian art across diverse media, environments and generations are accompanied by targeted looks at Indigenous artists as well as specific practices such as photography. An illustrated profile highlights each participating artist. In French.
