	*Dominique Rey: Erlking / Pilgrims, 2012 Essays by Jos�e Drouin-Brisebois and Leon Bernard Johnson. 80 pages, illustrated, hard cover. $40.00 Dominique Rey is a photographer, painter, and performance artist whose work is marked by a fascination with the marginal figure. This publication documents two new series, one photographic and the other pictoral.

Drawing from psychoanalysis and the literay works of Angela Carter, Rey invokes personas in flux. Her painting series Pilgrims* shows the influence of her involvement as a performer and attests to the intimate knowledge and experience she invests in her work.�Recalling sideshow circus �freaks� and 1950s burlesque, Pilgrims, explores notions of the �unbeautiful� and how the unbeautiful becomes permissible, and even desirable, under the guise of performance and public display. Coproduced with Southern Alberta Art Gallery.
