Bold, audacious, and colourful, Joyce Wieland was the first woman living artist to have a solo exhibition at both the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario. She was a major figure in the avant-garde film scene of the 1960s and '70s, and together with Michael Snow, she was one of the founders of Canadian experimental cinema. Her work left an indelible mark on Canadian art. Joyce Wieland: Heart On is the first publication to offer a comprehensive view of Wieland’s multifaceted career as a painter, experimental filmmaker, and cultural activist. Using her seductive wit as a powerful tool of social and political critique, Wieland embedded disruptive and unexpected elements and imagery in her work with compelling effect. Richly illustrated with over 250 reproductions, Joyce Wieland: Heart On includes texts by curators, scholars, and artists, as well as personal reflections from Wieland’s friends and collaborators. Archival materials, an extensive chronology, and passages from Wieland’s own writings offer a new understanding of the artist’s extraordinary career and the social and political context in which she was creating.

Déterminée, audacieuse, colorée, Joyce Wieland a été la première femme artiste à exposer en solo de son vivant au Musée des beaux-arts du Canada et au Musée des beaux-arts de l’Ontario. Grande figure du cinéma d’avant-garde dans les années 1960 et 1970, elle a, avec Michael Snow, mis au monde le cinéma expérimental canadien. Son œuvre a laissé une empreinte indélébile sur l’art du Canada. Joyce Wieland : À cœur battant est la première publication qui présente de manière exhaustive les multiples facettes d’une carrière qui embrasse la peinture, le cinéma expérimental et l’activisme culturel. Forte d’une vivacité d’esprit engageante comme puissant instrument de critique sociale et politique, Joyce Wieland infuse ses œuvres d’éléments dérangeants et inattendus, pour un effet implacable. Somptueusement illustré de plus de 250 reproductions, Joyce Wieland : À cœur battant est riche de textes éclairants de conservateurs, d’universitaires et d’artistes, ainsi que de réflexions personnelles d’amis et de collaborateurs de Wieland. Des documents d’archives, une chronologie détaillée et des extraits des propres écrits de Joyce Wieland montrent sous de nouveaux angles l’extraordinaire carrière de l’artiste et le contexte sociopolitique dans lequel son art s’est épanoui.

Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was a radical inventor: an artist who discarded convention and disrupted hierarchies, overturning the traditional basis of culture while revolutionising the way people perceive and interact with art. Calder's 'new line' was not simply an evolution of forms and styles. From the start, it was quite clear to all who witnessed him at work that - in his way of drawing attention and gaining notoriety - he was doing something radically new. This catalogue shows how Calder's work emerged from expectations of change in American popular culture. Calder, who was initially attracted by the structure and functions of the circus, looked for alternative models to triumph over respectability, public decorum, and the ambitions of industry. The catalogue, with twelve essays from major contributors, will examine how Calder, among the first college-trained artists, found techniques and inspiration in many disciplines and their development: technology, engineering, architecture, physics, and astronomy, among others. All these contributed to the development of his wire sculptures, mobiles, and stabiles. More than 100 works and comparative illustrations will guide the reader through this innovative and unique path.
