After the Supreme Court of Canada's 1999 Marshall decision recognized Mi'kmaw fishers' treaty right to fish, the fishers entered the inshore lobster fishery across Atlantic Canada. At Burnt Church/Esgenoopetitj, New Brunswick, the Mi'kmaw fishery provoked violent confrontations with neighbours and the Canadian government. Over the next two years, boats, cottages, and a sacred grove were burned, people were shot at and beaten, boats rammed and sunk, roads barricaded, and the local wharf occupied. Based on 12 months of ethnographic field work in Burnt Church/Esgenoopetitj, Fishing in Contested Waters explores the origins of this dispute and the beliefs and experiences that motivated the locals involved in it. Weaving the perspectives of Native and non-Native people together, Sarah J. King examines the community as a contested place, simultaneously Mi'kmaw and Canadian. Drawing on philosophy and indigenous, environmental, and religious studies, Fishing in Contested Waters demonstrates the deep roots of contemporary conflicts over rights, sovereignty, conservation, and identity.

In SITE Santa Fe's Eighth International Biennial, held in 2010, curated by Sarah Lewis and Daniel Belasco, emerging and established artists working in many media displayed works that mined techniques of early animation and moving-image technologies to create a hybrid practice of homespun plus high-tech. This exquisitely designed volume arising from the event is titled The Dissolve, a title that points both at this new sensibility emerging from the old and at the two-way nature of the dissolve in moving images as both ephemeral and generative. The Dissolve presents art by Robert Breer, Paul Chan, Martha Colburn, Thomas Demand, Ezra Johnson, Bill T. Jones, William Kentridge, Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, Raymond Pettibon, Rob Pruitt, Robin Rhode and others. Scholars Nancy Mowll Mathews, Sarah Lewis and Daniel Belasco contribute essays on the concept of the hybridization of new media combined with painting, drawing and collage. Also included are a timeline of animation practices and an artists' panel discussion.

The curatorial premise behind Lucky Number Seven--SITE Santa Fe's seventh international biennial, curated by Lance Fung--is to invite a host of emerging artists, all sponsored by international institutions, to create new commissions that are ephemeral and site-inspired. This two-volume catalogue is the only documentation of these temporary works. The first volume includes essays by Fung and Laura Heon, Director of SITE Santa Fe, as well as documentation of the exhibition from idea to implementation and a discussion by the artists of their work. The second volume includes color images of the final, installed projects. This exhibition features an innovative design by renowned architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. The volumes that make up this highly collectable publication fit together magnetically, and both of them have foam covers. Featured artists include Martí Anson, Studio Azzurro, Erick Beltrán, Luchezar Boyadjiev, Michal Budny, Piero Golia, Soun Myung Hong, Rose B. Simpson and Shi Qing, among others.
