Lynne Cohen
Since the early 1970s, Cohen has been using a box camera to photograph "found" interior spaces, always empty of occupants, which the works' titles usually do not specifically identify. Over the years, interiors and public or semi-public places - skating rinks, dance halls, hotel lobbies, men's clubs - have given way to more complex, less readily accessible environments, such as classrooms, science laboratories or military installations. Despite the sometimes disturbing nature of the places pictured, the artist underscores the humour, artifice and illusion that lie therein, documenting her "fascination with how the world echoes art." Punctuated with nearly two dozen full-colour plates, this publication features forty photographs by Lynne Cohen, most of them recently produced.

Faking Death
In Faking Death Penny Cousineau-Levine examines the work of over 120 Canadian photographers, revealing important aspects of Canadian identity and imagination. Contrasting Canadian photography with American and European traditions, she shows that Canadian photographers are often preoccupied with a place that is "elsewhere," a doubling and duality that also occurs in Canadian literature, film, and political life.

The Bardo of Waking Life
An avant garde set of improvisational essays, Richard Grossinger’s The Bardo of Waking Life is a meditation on the Tibetan Buddhist bardo realm which, in popular culture, is viewed as the bridge between lives, the state people enter after death and before rebirth. This book examines waking life and its history and language as if it were a bardo state rather than ultimate reality, and thus seeks a context for life (and dreams), even as it addresses more "mundane issues" including genetic theory, the war in Iraq and George W. Bush's presidency, North Korea, advertising, global warming, Prison Industrial Culture, childhood trauma, even country western music. Written with playfulness and precision, Bardo takes a new, probing approach to all the important questions of creation, destruction, and existence. In these intellectual field notes, Grossinger proves thematically fearless as he crosses quantum mechanics with totemic hexes and draws transcendental insight from the ephemeral space-time we call daily life. If, as Tibetan cosmology holds true, all conditional realms are bardos, then the state we all share is nothing less than the bardo of waking life.
