Stan Douglas: Abbott and Cordova, 7 August 1971 by Stan Douglas Pdf
This is an art book on the politics of urban conflict based around artist Stan Douglas' stunning photo installation of the same name, depicting a violent confrontation in 1971 between police and Vancouver's counterculture known as the Gastown Riot. The book, which features essays by Alexander Alberro, Serge Guilbaut, and others, addresses various issues raised by Douglas' work, including the suppression and assimilation of the counterculture. It also includes other works from Douglas' Crowds and Riots series. Stan Douglas has exhibited widely, including at the Venice Biennale, Whitney Biennial, and documenta. He is the subject of numerous books, including Stan Douglas (Phaidon Press).
Entertainment is a critical reader accompanying the Vancouver artist's recent exhibition of photographs at The Power Plant in Toronto. This body of work is a meticulous studio project for which Douglas assumed the identity of a character working as a Weegee-esque photojournalist and commercial photographer in midcentury Vancouver.

Picture a six-minute conversation filmed by 20 cameras, then sliced, diced and reshuffled by computer into a film that's 157-hours long. (Yes, that's more than a week, but you don't have to watch the whole thing at once.) It's the essence of Stan Douglas, who "witholds the artificial neatness of conclusion and gives us instead a sense of the interminable," as one admiring critic wrote. In Inconsolable Memories, Douglas uses photos he took in Cuba as the base for his unique approach to narrative, putting together a look at exile and identity against the backdrop of the 1980 Mariel Boatlift. Includes essays by Svon Luttiken and Phillip Monk, the lavishly illustrated screenplay, and 40 color plates of recent photographs.
The Past is the Present; It's the Future Too by Christine Ross Pdf
The term 'temporality' often refers to the traditional mode of the way time is: a linear procession of past, present and future. As philosophers will note, this is not always the case. Christine Ross builds on current philosophical and theoretical examinations of time and applies them to the field of contemporary art: films, video installations, sculpture and performance works. Ross first provides an interdisciplinary overview of contemporary studies on time, focusing on findings in philosophy, psychology, sociology, communications, history, postcolonial studies, and ecology. She then illustrates how contemporary artistic practices play around with what we consider linear time. Engaging the work of artists such as Guido van der Werve, Melik Ohanian, Harun Farocki, and Stan Douglas, allows investigation though the art, as opposed to having art taking an ancillary role. The Past is the Present; It's the Future Too forces the reader to understand the complexities of the significance of temporal development in new artistic practices.
