| BUTLER, CORNELIA H., AND CHOY, LEE WENG, AND POUND, FRANCIS Flight Patterns Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Art. 2001, First Edition. (ISBN: 091435776X) Soft Cover , 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Exhibition Catalogue, 159 pp. illus. (some col.) ; 26 cm. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Nov. 12, 2000-Feb. 11, 2001. BRAND NEW. Shrinkwrapped. "Flight Patterns highlights contemporary artists primarily working in the Pacific Basin--Southern California, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia--whose work addresses the specific topographical conditions and experience of living in this geographically and geopolitically dynamic region. As its conceptual foundation, Flight Patterns rethinks topographical practices of photography since the 1970s, looking at current manifestations of the topographical impulse in landscape-oriented work. The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue include new projects, recent work from the 1990s, and historically significant works of photography, film, video, and painting by 23 artists, including Doug Aitken, Rodney Graham, Anthony Hernandez, Tracey Moffatt, Paul Outerbridge, Allan Sekula, Miles Coolidge, Simon Leung. Flight Patterns introduces the work of West Coast American artists as well as those artists working in regions where there is a parallel history of landscapes and their representation, and where similar postcolonial issues are at stake. A landmark artistic, social, and geographical document, Flight Patterns highlights a diversity of artistic approaches--both formalist and conceptual--to one of the most fascinating and complex areas of the planet." - Publisher.

| CARR, EMILY, AND CHENEY, NAN, AND TOMS, HUMPHREY; WALKER, DOREEN (EDITED BY) Dear Nan: Letters of Emily Carr, Nan Cheney, and Humphrey Toms Vancouver, BC, University of British Columbia Press. 1990, Reprint, 1991. (ISBN: 0774803908) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xlvi, 436 pp. illus. (some col.), bib. notes, index; 24 cm. Previous owner's name/inside front cover, some marginalia & underlining, otherwise tight & clean. "This collection includes 150 letters Emily Carr wrote to her friends Nan Cheney and Humphrey Toms, and 100 other letters relating mainly to Emily Carr. The letters date from 1930 to 1945, the most prolific period in Carr's career as both painter and writer. In them she writes in colourful detail about her everyday activities, and discusses her painting -- 'the biggest thing in my life.' There are outbursts of exasperation and anger as well as many indications of her caring, her warmth, her wisdom and her wit, and of her impatience with critics and poseurs, and they give insights into her various relationships with, among others, Lawren Harris, Ira Dilworth, Jack Shadbolt, Garnett Sedgewick, Dorothy Livesay, A.Y. Jackson, and Arthur Lismer. Nan Cheney and Humphrey Toms shared Emily Carr's interest in art. Carr's relationship with Cheney dated back to 1930 but did not flourish until 1937 when Cheney moved from Ottawa to Vancouver to become the first full-time medical artist at UBC. Humphrey Toms was only twenty years old when he first met Emily Carr, having asked to visit her after seeing some of her paintings, following which a warm friendship developed. The correspondence between Cheney and Toms reveals how Carr was regarded at the time and attests to their mutual interest in the Vancouver art scene. As an active member Cheney relates gossip about the local art community, providing a very personal and often exceedingly critical view of the Vancouver art milieu of the time. Doreen Walker has chosen not to change the original text of the letters and includes Carr's misspellings and grammatical irregularities, which give a feeling of immediacy to the writing. There are numerous examples of her talent for graphic description, how she felt 'rag rug level' when depressed and how she 'was sat down with a spank' when ill. Perhaps most significant are the many revelations of her deep commitment to her work and of her industry and perseverance despite her failing health. 'Queer how we go on,' she wrote to Cheney, 'luck there is so much rubber in human composition.' / Doreen Walker (editor) is a senior instructor emerita of the Department of Fine Arts at the University of British Columbia." - Publisher.

| DOUGLAS, STAN; SHIER, REID (EDITED BY) Stan Douglas: Every Building on 100 West Hastings Vancouver, BC, Contemporary Art Gallery; Arsenal Pulp Press. 2003, First Edition.

Publication to accompany the exhibition, Journey into fear, held at the Contemporary Art Gallery, September 12 to November 3, 2002. BRAND NEW. "The 100 block of Vancouver's West Hastings Street is the gateway to one of the most contested and controversial inner-city neighborhoods in North America--Vancouver's infamous and impoverished downtown eastside. Using the work of one of the art world's most celebrated visual artists -- Stan Douglas -- the book unravels the dynamics of history and sociology, combined with photography and art, to create a compelling and visually arresting document that informs our understanding of what makes a neighborhood. The book is based on a monumental-sized print of 100 West Hastings by Douglas, who photographed each building and composited the individual prints to assume a fantastic, impossible perspective. The print is reproduced in the book as a removable full-color poster." - Publisher. NEW.
