ARTICLES AND PORTFOLIOS CV37
EDITORIAL - CV37
By Franck Michel
CVphoto, as our readers have undoubtedly noticed, has been progressively acquiring a new image; we have improved the overall graphic layout and made some changes to the cover page. As of this issue, the space allotted to exhibition reviews has been expanded. From now on, we will be able to cover exhibitions held outside of Montreal, elsewhere in Canada, and abroad.
POINT DE VUE - The Photographic Activity of “Visual Culture”
Last summer, October magazine ran a special issue on “visual culture.” Offering an “initial account of [the] uses and abuses” of this emergent concept, co-editors Rosalind Krauss and Hal Foster defined the term as “both a partial description of a social world mediated by commodity images and visual technologies, and an academic rubric for interdisciplinary convergences among art history, film theory, media analysis and cultural studies.”1 Like it or not, they told us, visual culture is here to stay.2

PORTFOLIO - André Jasinski
There is the moon, the darkness, the ghost of industry. André Jasinski photographs urban remains at night. He highlights their grandeur and lonely poetry. And he sniffs out the scourges that shaped them.
