PUBLICATIONS	Ciudad Moderna Essays by Craig Buckley, Priamo Lozada and Itala Schmelz. Terence Gower is Canadian, but lives and works between New York and Mexico City. Ciudad Moderna, which includes photography, graphics and video stills from his eponymous short film, is his homage to Mexican modernist architecture, and to the alluring aesthetics of mid-century Latin America: in keeping with those aesthetics, it is designed after the glossy magazines of the era. Turner/ A&R, Mexico City, 2006 http://www.a-rpress.com/ Distributed by DAP Paperback, 8.75 x 9.5 in. 88 pages ISBN: 8475067271
Terence Gower PROJECTS EXHIBITIONS PUBLICATIONS tg@terencegower.com
	Appendices, Illustrations & Notes Co-authored by Terence Gower and Monica de la Torre This surreal and funny artist’s book is a collaboration between conceptual artist Terence Gower and writer Mónica de la Torre, who have created an anthology of meaningless book-marketing blurbs, reviews of dubious exhibitions, evil-spirited notes by editors, and obsessional letters addressed to a psychiatrist. Presented as an appendix of ancillary material to a fictitious book, the texts take referentiality to a level of Borgesian absurdity. The humor is dry and understated, and it is only upon rereading that the uncanny thread uniting the seemingly found and disjointed fragments becomes apparent. For anyone whose day-to-day encounters with discourse include texts riddled with jargon and psychoanalytical babble, Appendices, Illustrations & Notes offers the opportunity for sweet revenge.

	Display Architecture Essays by Juan Carlos Cano, Michel Blancsubé, Moises Puente Display Architecture is a survey of Terence Gower's recent work on Modernist strategies of display and representation in architecture. The book focuses on one of this artist's principal subjects: Exhibition pavilions. The book's title is derived from the artist's interest in the pavilion as a form of "display architecture." Whether built for a world's fair or for a temporary trade exhibition, the artist sees the pavilion as both a support for the display of artifacts as well as an architectural artifact, itself on display. In a conscious reference to the form of the architectural monograph, the artist's pavilion projects are documented with plans, scale models, and specially commissioned photographs.
