Inventing America

Jefferson's Declaration of Independence

By: Garry Wills

From one of America's foremost historians, Inventing America compares Thomas Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration of Independence with the final, accepted version, thereby challenging many long-cherished assumptions about both the man and the document. Although Jefferson has long been idealized as a champion of individual rights, Wills argues that in fact his vision was one in which interdependence, not self-interest, lay at the foundation of society. "No one has offered so drastic a revision or so close or convincing an analysis as Wills has . . . The results are little short of astonishing" —(Edmund S. Morgan, New York Review of Books)

The Last Art College

Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, 1968-1978

By: Garry Neill Kennedy

The long-awaited history of the art college that became an unlikely epicenter of the art world in the 1960s and 1970s. How did a small art college in Nova Scotia become the epicenter of art education—and to a large extent of the postmimimalist and conceptual art world itself—in the 1960s and 1970s? Like the unorthodox experiments and rich human resources that made Black Mountain College an improbable center of art a generation earlier, the activities and artists at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (aka NSCAD) in the 1970s redefined the means and methods of art education and the shape of art far beyond Halifax. A partial list of visiting artists and faculty members at NSCAD would include Joseph Beuys, Sol LeWitt, Gerhard Richter, Dan Graham, Mel Bochner, Lucy Lippard, John Baldessari, Hans Haacke, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Frank, Jenny Holzer, Robert Morris, Eric Fischl, and Dara Birnbaum. Kasper Koenig and Benjamin Buchloh ran the NSCAD Press, publishing books by Hollis Frampton, Lawrence Weiner, Donald Judd, Daniel Buren, Michael Asher, Martha Rosler, and Michael Snow, among others. The Lithography Workshop produced early works by many of today's masters, including John Baldessari, Vito Acconci, and Claes Oldenburg. With The Last Art College, Garry Kennedy, the college's visionary president at the time, gives us the long-awaited documentary history of NSCAD during a formative era. From gallery openings to dance performances to visiting lectures to exhibitions to classroom projects, the book gives a rich historical and visual account of the school's activities, supplemented by details of specific events, reminiscences by faculty and students, accounts of artists' talks, and notes on memorable controversies.

Driven Mind

By: Garry Sowerby

Partying all night with a Giant and a Brain. Tying his delirious partner to his seat on a flight over the Iran-Iraq war. Trying to out-drive the clock in a race around the world. Escaping bandit bullets in Kenya. Talking his way through 37 armed checkpoints in three days in Colombia. Join Garry Sowerbys motoring mania in Driven Mind, stories of global travel and the unquenchable thirst for the road. Driven Mind is not just about driving the asphalt, gravel and dust roadways of the planet, but about the path that one man took, somewhat inadvertently, to adventure. With a dash of irreverence and a god bit of intrigue, Driven Mind doles out 50 tales that pack an invigorating escape from the everyday. Garry Sowerby, four-time world record holder for long-distance driving, columnist and global adventurer, has been road tripping the planet for the past 50 years. He has driven Around the Bloc in a Week to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall. He smuggled a truckload of childrens books to Moscow schools and libraries. He has driven a displaced pelican thousands of kilometres back to its home after a hurricane blew it off-course. He has even put a car on top of Torontos CN Tower!
