Robert Filliou : From Political to Poetical Economy

Abstract

In this anthology of writings on or by Filliou, Sava adresses the French artist's Canadian connection (especially to the Vancouver video scene), while Robertson, Craig and Bull provide personal accounts. Filliou's text is a transcription of segments from videotapes where the artist expands his propositions and principles. Includes a videography, a chronological sketch of the artist's relations to Canada, and a chart characterizing institutional practices in Canadian art between 1968 and 1988
