Son et Lumière – the two essential elements of expression and celebration and both are present in this issue. The light (photography) is presented by the photographs of two American masters: Robert Frank and Lee Friedlander. The sound is here in the music work of Michael Snow and the eminent contemporary composers: Joan Tower, David Lang and Barbara Monk Feldman. And meet the first postmodern multi-media communications diva, Canadian polymath Emma Gendron, 1895–1952.
Robert Frank, Michael Snow, Lee Friedlander, Joan Tower, Barbara Monk Feldman, David Lang, Emma Gendron, Ed Burtynsky, Collin Zipp, Jon Sasaki, Shary Boyle & Shuvinai Ashoona
