4. Un sentiment d'authenticité : Ma vie avec PME-ART

Author

Wren, Jacob, Canty, Daniel, Wren, Jacob, Wren, Jacob, Canty, Daniel, and Wren, Jacob

Abstract

Un sentiment d’authenticité est un livre hybride, sorte de « roman sur PME-ART » qui se situe entre l’autobiographie artistique et le récit, dans lequel Jacob Wren revient sur plus de vingt années de création. Le récit commence lorsque le jeune performeur rencontre Sylvie Lachance et Richard Ducharme, et qu’il déménage de Toronto à Montréal pour concevoir un projet avec eux. C’est alors que s’amorce la passionnante histoire du groupe interdisciplinaire PME-ART.

12. La constellation des métiers bizarres = The Constellation of Odd Occupations

Author

Canty, Daniel, Dorais, Ève, Wren, Jacob, Dubois, Anne-Marie, Martin, Julie, Canty, Daniel, Dorais, Ève, Wren, Jacob, Dubois, Anne-Marie, and Martin, Julie

Abstract

"Here, eleven art projects are united under the umbrella of The Constellation of Odd Occupations, each forming a singular conjunction—of encounters, actions and explorations—whose trajectories, each with their own connection to specific communities and individuals, pulsate at varying and unique intensities. These projects stem from many different forms of interdisciplinary practice, using infiltration-based, in situ, in socius, contextual, participatory and performative approaches. Nonetheless, they all share similar preoccupations: process-based aesthetics, quality of presence within a specific environment, and art as an experience, rather than a way of producing objects." -- Publisher's website.

Abstract

"There are a number of aesthetic similarities between the punk movement and certain 20th-century artistic currents. With its rejection of established values, its strong sense of self-derision and iconoclasm, punk is closely related to Dadaism. Early on, many of its proponents were also influenced by Situationism. The manager of the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren, frequently alluded to the emblematic texts of the movement and even declared, “It’s marvellous to use Situationism in rock.” In addition, the parodic appropriation of religious or political imagery on punk album jackets or posters is very much in keeping with the deviational spirit of Situationism." -- Publisher's website.

23. A Manifesto Has Come to Light

Author

Cheta, Bogdan, Fleck, Jillian, Mersault, Jd, Wren, Jacob, Randolph, Jeanne, Cheta, Bogdan, Fleck, Jillian, Mersault, Jd, Wren, Jacob, and Randolph, Jeanne

Abstract

"From July to August 2015, Dr. Jeanne Randolph, Jacob Wren, Bodgan Cheta, Jillian Fleck, and JD Mersault came together to participate in TNG’s thematic group residency to develop a new work that explored the convergence between art making and art writing. This project addressed questions such as, ‘Can writing about art be art?’ and ‘Does art criticism have to exist as reviews, essays, etc.?’ The artists decided that the outcome of the residency would be a novel called a manifesto has come to light… and that the work would be widely distributed at no cost. Cheta, Fleck, and Mersault each created content for their own episode, a broadsheet-style publication that also included a continuous line of dialogue between Randolph and Wren that contextualized the project. 3000 copies of each episode were distributed throughout Calgary, Winnipeg (MB), Montreal (QC), and Dundee (SCT) in three phases – one at the end of February, March, and April in 2016." -- Publisher's website.

29. Polyamorous Love Song : A novel

Author

Wren, Jacob and Wren, Jacob

Abstract

"From interdisciplinary writer and performer Jacob Wren comes Polyamorous Love Song, a novel of intertwined narratives concerning the relationship between artists and the world. Shot through with unexpected moments of sex and violence, readers will become acquainted with a world that is at once the same and opposite from the one in which they live. With a diverse palette of vivid characters – from people who wear furry mascot costumes at all times, to a group of 'New Filmmakers' that devises increasingly unexpected sexual scenarios with complete strangers, to a secret society that concocts a virus that only infects those on the political right – Wren's avant-garde Polyamorous Love Song (finalist for the 2013 Fence Modern Prize in Prose) will appeal to readers with an interest in the visual arts, theatre, and performance of all types." -- Publisher's website.
