We just received the catalogue accompanying ZOO, the summer exhibition currently up at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal.

| David Almetjd |
The exhibition features works by twenty or so Québec, Canadian and international artists, including Jana Sterbak, Kiki Smith, Montrealer David Altmejd, store-favourites Shary Boyle and David Shrigley, as well as dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei (who, by the way, speaks with curator Hans Ulrich Obrist in this wonderful new book of interviews)

More than just an exhibition turned into a book, this catalogue is organized like a natural history manual and comes with pages and pages of exclusive essays and illustrations (more than usual), which makes it the perfect companion for the show, and not just a substitute for it. In English and French.
