Based on an exhibition with the same name, Back to the Sandbox records an ongoing multifaceted project that comprises exhibitions, conferences, workshops, surveys, and online roundtables, connecting local communities with international networks.

Wilfrid Laurier University Press Evan Macdonald: A Painter's Life
Book Synopsis A master draughtsman, artist Evan Macdonald had extraordinary facility as a painter, printmaker, and book illustrator. Born in Guelph, Ontario, in 1905, to one of the city's founding Scottish families, Macdonald was a young contemporary of the Group of Seven and pursued his practice in Canada during the Great Depression. He joined the Second World War as an artist-soldier. After the war, Macdonald became a professional portraitist, fulfilling commissions from heads of government, industry, and academia. His paintings chronicling the destruction of Guelph's historical buildings in the 1950s and 60s both celebrate industrial progress and lament the loss of nineteenth-century craftsmanship. Evan Macdonald: A Painter's Life is a richly illustrated chronicle of Macdonald's life and work from the perspective of the artist's daughter, Flora Macdonald Spencer, whose insightful essay creates a lasting image of a great Canadian artist. The book offers a unique perspective on the history of Guelph as well as commentary on one of the city's founding families, their Scottish ancestry, and the establishment and evolution of twentieth-century social and cultural ideals. Co-published with the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre Trade Review``A Painter's Life is a shot in the arm for any creative soul who feels blocked or uninspired. It's for those of us who, when staring at a blank screen or pristine canvas, point to our family or job as an excuse for our poor productivity. It's easy to relate to Evan Macdonald in this book. He too railed against the limitations of business and domestic life. The difference is that, instead of holding out for the perfect time and place to create, he took every opportunity to develop his craft. He also opened his mind to depicting the people and places that surrounded him. The result is a range of unpretentious works that reveal the artist's skilled hand and fresh vision. The story of Evan Macdonald reminds us to enjoy making art. And what's possible if just open your eyes, focus on what interests you, and get to work.'' -- Deb Davis, painter and writer (Guelph, Ontario) -- 200809``The study reflects the commitment of both the art gallery and the university press to significant regional achievement in the arts.... Intimate, personal and affectionate.'' -- Robert Reid -- Guelph Mercury, September 22, 2008, 200809``There is an intimacy, a quiet fierceness in a daughter's watching of her father. A looking upto that escapes language, a stirring in and out of light and dark that gathers among silver mines, walks the edges of Hope Bay, and traces architectural ruins of memory and return. With narratives sketches, Flora Macdonald Spencer revisits and awakens the temporal spaces of Evan Macdonald, to tell what has not been told of her father's lie, a painter's life.'' -- Sorouja Moll, writer, playwright and MA candidate, School of English & TheatreStudies, University of Guelph, Ontario -- 200809Table of Contents Evan Macdonald: A Painter's Life by Flora Macdonald Spencer Remembering Evan Macdonald Judith Nasby Evan Macdonald in Grey and Bruce Counties Stuart Reid Drawn from Life Flora Macdonald Spencer Acknowledgements Appendix 1: Plates Appendix 2: Chronology Appendix 3: Exhibitions Appendix 4: Convocation citation and address Bibliography Index

University of South Carolina Press Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from
Book SynopsisThe radical changes wrought by the rise of the salon system in nineteenth-century Europe provoked an interesting response from painters in the American South. Painterly trends emanating from Barbizon and Giverny emphasized the subtle textures of nature through warm colour and broken brush stroke. Artists' subject matter tended to represent a prosperous middle class at play, with the subtle suggestion that painting was indeed art for art's sake and not an evocation of the heroic manner. Many painters in the South took up the stylistics of Tonalism, Impressionism, and naturalism to create works of a very evocative nature, works which celebrated the Southern scene as an exotic other, a locale offering refuge from an increasingly mechanized urban environment.Scenic Impressions offers an insight into a particular period of American art history as borne out in seminal paintings from the holdings of the Johnson Collection of Spartanburg, South Carolina. By consolidating academic information on a disparate group of objects under a common theme and important global artistic umbrella, Scenic Impressions will underscore the Johnsons' commitment to illuminating the rich cultural history of the American South and advancing scholarship in the field, specifically examining some forty paintings created between 1880 and 1940, including landscapes and genre scenes. A foreword, written by Kevin Sharp, director of the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, Tennessee, introduces the topic. Two lead essays, written by noted art historians Pennington, Estill Curtisand Martha R. Severens, discuss the history and import of the Impressionist movement--abroad and domestically--and specifically address the school's influence on art created in and about the American South. The featured works of art are presented in full colour plates and delineated in complementary entries written by Pennington and Severens. Also included are detailed artist biographies illustrated by photographs of the artists, extensive documentation, and indices. Featured artists include Wayman Adams, Colin Campbell Cooper, Elliott Daingerfield, G. Ruger Donoho, Harvey Joiner, John Ross Key, Blondelle Malone, Lawrence Mazzanovich, Paul Plaschke, Hattie Saussy, Alice Ravenel, Huger Smith, Anthony Thieme, and Helen Turner.

Distributed Art Publishers Fire Figure Fantasy
Book SynopsisA thematic introduction to the thriving Miami museum's permanent collectionSince its founding in 2014, ICA Miami has established itself as a singular voice in artistic stewardship with a collection that champions leading emerging and established artists. Fire Figure Fantasy revolves around important focal points of ICA Miami's collection. Artists working in a wide range of mediums, including McArthur Binion, Lauren Halsey, Rashid Johnson and Martine Syms, draw on conceptualist strategies to critically explore structures that perpetuate injustice. In works by Andra Ursuta, Louise Bonnet, Christina Quarles and Avery Singer, themes of identity, community, and technology are drawn out through explorations of the body, materiality and form. Works by Vivian Caccuri, Tau Lewis, Vaughn Spann and Henry Taylor contend with some of the most pressing issues of our time, while works by Hernan Bas, Tomm El-Saieh and Jared McGriff, among others, reflect the artistic production of Miami artists that the museum has long championed.

Includes archival photos of Isabella?s world, museum,and the artshe collected.Isabella Stewart Gardner?s museum, with its plain exterior enfolding an astonishing four-story Italian palazzo, rose from Boston?s Fens at the turn of the twentieth century. Its treasures encompassed not only masterwork paintings but tapestries, rare books, prints, porcelains, and fine furniture.An extraordinary achievement of storytelling and scholarship, Chasing Beauty illuminates the fascinating ways the museum and its holdings can be seen as a kind of memoir, dazzling and haunting, created with objects instead of words and displayed per Isabella?s wishes in the exact placements she initially curated.Born in 1840 to a privileged New York family, Isabella Stewart married Boston Brahmin Jack Gardner as she turned twenty.

Bernard Berenson, leading connoisseur of the Italian Renaissance, was her art dealer.From award-winning author Natalie Dykstra,Chasing Beautyis the story of the complex and singular woman behind one of the most fascinating museums in the nation and the world?a tale of beauty and loss, grit and American self-invention.

Douglas & McIntyre Pictures on the Wall
Book SynopsisThe deeply personal story of a milestone North American art collection.“There are many ways to collect art, many motivations and points of departure. In my estimation, Michael Audain’s is of the socially beneficial variety: avid and personal enough to cultivate the eye, local and deep enough to generate knowledge. Would that his approach were more common. This generous book shows how it’s done.” (Marc Mayer, C.M., former director and CEO of the National Gallery of Canada.)Michael Audain’s passion for art began when he was a teenager, taping reproductions of Bruegel paintings to his dorm room walls. Over the years, his eye for art developed and together with wife Yoshiko (Yoshi) Karasawa, he acquired one of North America’s most notable collections. In Pictures on the Wall, Audain tells the story of this assemblage: from the first tentative purchases to the collection’s home, today, at the Audain Art Mus

Liverpool University Press Are We All Addicts Now?: Digital Dependence
Book SynopsisAre We All Addicts Now? Digital Dependence is an artist-led enquiry by Katriona Beales into digital hyper-connectivity and the normalization of addictive behaviours through our everyday interactions with digital devices. While internet addiction is not yet considered an official psychiatric disorder, it is gaining increased recognition as a behavioral phenomenon in both scientific study and the popular press. This project is the first interdisciplinary exploration of this burgeoning diagnostic territory. The book combines visual and textual research, including artistic works from Katriona Beales and Fiona MacDonald : Feral Practice, alongside essays from contributors in the fields of anthropology, digital culture, psychology and philosophy. Informed by the latest scientific research, the book acknowledges the increasing difficulty many people experience in controlling their online habits. At the same time, it also thinks beyond the biological model of internet addiction toward the social and political dimensions that shape everyday online activities and habit-forming behaviour. This book is co-edited by curator Vanessa Bartlett and medical doctor and neuroscience researcher Henrietta Bowden-Jones. It is published to coincide with a major exhibition of new artwork by Katriona Beales at Furtherfield, London.Trade ReviewReviews 'Henrietta’s perspective has been invaluable,” says Beales. “She’s brought this very robust medical research, and also this enthusiasm for the way that art can expand the audience for scientific research.'

JRP Ringier The Garden of Forking Paths
Book SynopsisDuring the summer months of 2011, the Migros Museum f?r Gegenwartskunst inaugurated a sculpture project on the grounds of the Froh Ussicht estate in Samstagern, Zurich. The project was inspired by Bomarzo, the famous Italian Renaissance garden populated with fantastical and monstrous sculptures and follies (i.e. buildings constructed primarily for the embellishment of a landscape). Artists Pablo Bronstein, Liz Craft, Ida Ekblad, Geoffrey Farmer, Kerstin Kartscher, Ragnar Kjartansson, Fabian Marti, Peter Regli and Thiago Rocha Pitta all devised their own fantastical narratives in response to Bomarzo. The Garden of Forking Paths enlarges upon this innovative exhibition with reproductions of installed works, and essays by some of the finest architecture and garden theorists and writers on the history of follies and the interaction between art and garden: Lars Bang Larsen, Michael Bracewell, Horst Bredekamp, Brian Dillon, Patrick Eyres, Heike Munder, Anthony Vidler and Catherine Wood.
