VISIONS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: A LANDSCAPE MANUAL was published to accompany the Vancouver Art Gallery exhibition currently on view until April 18. It pairs the artwork of 7 female/20 male artists with writings of 8 women/23 men to highlight the diversity of British Columbia through literature, legends and art. Drawn primarily from the collections of the Vancouver Art Gallery, the artworks include representational, abstract, conceptual, sculptural and photographic pieces, with a fair bit of Emily Carr and First Nations content.
THE MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, edited by Carol E. Mayer and Anthony Shelton, celebrates the completion of the museum’s major renewal project. This weighty book highlights 150 pieces from the Museum’s vast collection of thousands of historic and contemporary carvings, totem poles, baskets, ceramics, sculptures, paintings, textiles and other artifacts and artworks, all accompanied by passages of text detailing their history and cultural significance. 
THE SHORES WE CALL HOME: THE ART OF CAROL EVANS, showcases more than 80 watercolour paintings by Salt Spring Island artist Carol Evans. Applying a magic realist style and emphasizing the play of light on water, Evans has captured vistas of BC coastal nature for 30 years. Many of the images of scenes from the Georgia Strait to Haida Gwaii are reproduced full-page. An introductory essay by Evans describes her idyllic island life and sailing trips with her husband.
CRITICAL MESSAGES: CONTEMPORARY NORTHWEST ARTISTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT was published for a regionally travelling exhibition that explores how artists are responding to the natural, diverse Pacific Northwest in the context of a rapidly changing environment and a gathering crisis of degradation. The catalogue includes artist statements by the 26 featured artists alongside full-colour images. Essays by curator Sarah Clark-Langager and award-winning environmental journalist, William Dietrich, provide further context for the specific art works. The exhibition travels to Salem, OR and Boise, ID after it closes at the Western Gallery in Bellingham, WA on May 29.
TIM ROLLINS AND K.O.S.: A HISTORY is an in-depth look at the paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures that comprise the most important series made by Rollins and his collaborators, K.O.S. (Kids of Survival). Rollins and K.O.S. are internationally recognized for their collective art practice that emerged from Rollins’ classes at a public school in South Bronx during the 1980s. The catalogue includes new photographs of the work, multiple essays, and a selection of writings by Martin Luther King, Jr. – a key inspiration for Rollins. The travelling exhibit is on view at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle through May 31.
