Mélancoliques, ses tableaux sont empreints de nostalgie et de terreur, associées à une « inquiétante étrangeté ». Ils évoquent, de manière allégorique, son enfance disloquée et déracinée par la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. S’inspirant du livre de Juliana Schiesari, « The Gendering of Melancholia », j’analyserai la « poétique du deuil » de Pflug à l’intérieur des paramètres d’une analyse féministe de la mélancolie, considérée comme un discours culturel montrant les difficultés qu’éprouvent les femmes à rendre culturellement significatif leur sentiment de perte. En analysant la pratique artistique particulière de Pflug, nous positionnerons son travail comme un anti-récit qui s’oppose à la tradition du génie mélancolique qui a privilégié la création masculine au ...

Ces oeuvres, inspirées par la trope du readymade duchampien, ont servi de média d’apprentissage à la faculté de médecine de Dalhousie et d’une forme d’autoportrait ; elles utilisent un régime visuel associé au traumatisme physique qui permet d’inscrire le traumatisme psychique. L’auteur soutient que Wan a exploité une impulsion expressionniste de la rigueur systématique du domaine de l’illustration médicale qui correspond à une période subjective sur la scène artistique des années 1970 ; qui mettaient en question l’héritage d’indifférence légué par les readymades de Duchamp et épousé par le mouvement conceptualiste. Cette époque marque un tournant important pour le mouvement féministe. Wan travaillait en relation étroite avec les leçons du conceptualisme pour explorer les questions de subjectivité sur lesquelle...

Exemplifying CFAP’s arms-length relationship to artists, their diverse responses explore narratives of genocide, the traumatic legacy of colonialism and the War on Terror. With the works in the show encompassing a varied array of media including photography, video, painting, drawing and installation, Terms of Engagement offers a multifaceted and critical engagement with Canada’s international role as a nation of warriors and peacekeepers.

Includes a selected videography of 12 artists' work and notes on 19 videotapes. 34 bibl. ref.

Conley situates the artist’s images of nude female torsos within the theoretical contexts of Freudian psychoanalysis and “ecriture feminine.” The author also draws attention to the importance of feminine libidinal pleasure by comparing the play of meaning in Martin’s work with H. Cixous’ notion of “writing the body.” Issues of representation, sexuality, eroticism and fetishism are considered in relation to the following psychoanalytic concepts: repression, the uncanny and the Real. Includes list of works. Biographical notes. 20 bibl. ref.

Alongside ten additional texts by various authors, Hurtig analyses the entire body of work, focussing on "Take It To The Teeth" (1993). Artist's statement. Biographical notes. Bibl. 2 p.
