Rotating Bodies : Alexis, Crystal and Blake

In this artists' book, Radul proposes a revised version of the text of a 1987 performance while Moiseiwitsch's images are described as "part of an ongoing inquiry into the complete nature of the feminine"

Jin-me Yoon : Between Departure and Arrival

Radul's analysis of the installation "between departure and arrival" considers the concepts of "boundary" and "movement" in relation to ways in which Yoon's previous works address the role of photography in the formation of identity and memory. Kang calls attention to the performative strategies at play in Yoon's "Souvenirs of the Self" and "Screens", situating the artist's diasporic genealogy and "autobiographical staging of self" within the contexts of postcolonialism and multiculturalism. M.K. Gagnon's interview with the artist focuses on questions concerning national identity, Asian Canadian femininity, narratives of home/displacement, and interrelationships between race-body-nation.

Mina Totino

The essays in this catalogue focus on Totino's concern with the sublime as a category of aesthetic experience and as an object of contemporary theory. By situating Totino's paintings within the modernist frameworks of abstraction, Minimalism and Conceptualism, as well as the postmodern critique of representation, the authors show how the repression of the feminine within the history of Western painting is countered by the artist's "interruptive logic" and concern with ornamentation. 51 bibl. ref
