The Shape of Place

By: Liz Wylie

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In Canada, it can be easy to consider landscape painting as cliché, an art form whose time has passed. David Alexander's vibrant, large-scale works show the wonder and possibility that remain undiminished in paintings of the natural environment and breathe new life into the landscape tradition. Gathering together six essays on Alexander, this book provides insight into Alexander's inspiration, creative drive, and the unique engagement with nature that has led him to seek out and paint remote locales across Canada and as far away as Greenland, Iceland, New Mexico, and Argentina. Award-winning writer Sharon Butala contributes an extended meditation on her first encounter with the artist and his work. An interview with Robert Enright reveals Alexander's engagement with tradition, and texts by the late Gilbert Bouchard, Ihor Holubizky, Aðalsteinn Ingólfsson, and Liz Wylie, present a variety of insights into understanding and appreciating his art. A detailed chronology of Alexander's career is included. Reproductions of his major works appear throughout and the essays are illustrated with preliminary paintings and working sketches, conveying insight into his creative process. A valuable discovery for those interested in nature and its artistic renderings, Alexander's art is about conveying an immersion in the landscape. This book allows a similar presence within his lushly painted landscapes, imparting an intimate understanding of his art.

The Colour of Black & White

Poems 1984–2003

By: Liz Lochhead

The celebrated Scottish poet presents a collection of poems from the intimate to the bawdy—paired with original linocut artwork by Willie Rodger. Liz Lochhead is one of Scotland’s most beloved contemporary poets. In this wide-ranging collection, she offers poems of love, death and iconic figures; Jungian archetypes who often speak in their own voices. There are also poems set in her native Lanarkshire; poems dedicated to other poets; and a section of “unrespectable” poetry—rude verses, rhyming toasts, and music hall monologues. The collaboration with the printmaker Willie Rodger was also an essential part of the making of this book. Lochhead, long an admirer of Rodger’s work, felt that he was a kindred spirit. His poetically pared down and essential linocuts accentuate the positive and the negative, the black and the white.

A Handsel

New and Collected Poems

By: Liz Lochhead

Liz Lochhead is one of the leading poets writing in Britain today. Her debut collection, Memo for Spring (1972), was a landmark publication. Writing at a time when the landscape of Scottish poetry was male dominated, hers was a fresh, new voice, tackling subjects that resonated with readers – as it still does. Her poetry paved the way, and inspired, countless new voices including Ali Smith, Kathleen Jamie, Jackie Kay and Carol Ann Duffy. Still writing and performing today, more than fifty years on from her first book of poetry, Liz Lochhead has been awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry and was Scotland's second modern Makar, succeeding Edwin Morgan.

Emotion, Place and Culture

By: Mick Smith,Liz Bondi

Recent years have witnessed a rapid rise in engagement with emotion and affect across a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, with geographers among others making a significant contribution by examining the emotional intersections between people and places. Building on the achievements of Emotional Geographies (2005), the editors have brought together leading scholars such as Nigel Thrift, Alphonso Lingis and Frances Dyson as well as young, up and coming academics from a diverse range of disciplines to investigate feelings and affect in various spatial and social contexts, environments and landscapes. The book is divided into five sections covering the themes of remembering, understanding, mourning, belonging, and enchanting.

Adrienne Rich

Passion, Politics and the Body

By: Liz Yorke

Adrienne Rich is a major American poet who continues to be inspired by the political ideas and activism of various liberation movements of the twentieth century. Whether expressed in poetry or in prose, her ideas have been much debated, particularly within second wave feminism. This unique introduction focuses on Rich's prose work but also makes reference to the poetry where her political ideas and urgencies often find their first expression. Demonstrating the compexity and subtlety of her contribution to feminism, the book outlines her wide-ranging thoughts on, for example, motherhood, heterosexuality, lesbian and Jewish identity, and issues of racial and sexual otherness. Liz Yorke conveys the range and importance of Rich's achievements and highlights the major themes which are interwoven in her work.

John Hall

Travelling Light : a 45-year Survey of Paintings

By: Alexandra Haeseker,Liz Wylie

Covering over four decades of work, John Hall: Travelling Light is an exquisitely illustrated retrospective on one of Canada's most established contemporary artists. Hall's hyperreal paintings can be seen a thoughtful, and unassuming, commentary upon contemporary urban life. Having trained for four years as an artist in Alberta, Hall moved to Mexico, working closely alongside his fellow artist and friend Alexandra Haeseker, who has contributed to the publication with an eloquent and vividly evoking text describing their years together in Mexico. Liz Wylie, Curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery, examines in her text Hall's artistic practice chronologically, placing a special emphasis on his relationship to photography. Having first avoided the medium, Hall later grew to embrace digital photography and image manipulation as a way of evolving his oeuvre. Hall's practice is widely known across Canada, and has held highly regarded academic positions at the University of Calgary and Ohio Wesleyan University. In 1975 he was elected to membership in the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, with his work featured in a number of public institutions including the National Gallery of Canada, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Art Gallery of Ontario and the Winnipeg Art Gallery, amongst many others. He has exhibited worldwide, with shows in the USA, Great Britain, Europe, Mexico and Japan. Published in partnership with the Kelowna Art Gallery.

Richard Prince

Telling Stories (with Digressions)

By: Liz Wylie,Richard E. Prince,Kelowna Art Gallery Staff

Vancouver-based Richard E. Prince works in three dimensions, espousing a “bricoleur” aesthetic and working method. This publication features a group of new works that are three-dimensional pieces, with some on wheels. Often his works have narrative aspects, and moving parts, and seem light-hearted in tone. Upon closer looking, however, darker and deeper themes may emerge. Prince seems to ponder metaphysics and the what-makes-things-tick aspect of life on our planet. Richard E. Prince was born in British Columbia and has exhibited across the country since his first solo exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1972.
