Summary:
The short-lived Japanese magazine Provoke, founded in 1968, is nowadays recognized as a major contribution to postwar photography in Japan, featuring the country’s finest representatives of protest photography, vanguard fine art and critical theory in only three issues overall. The magazine's goal was to mirror the complexities of Japanese society and its art world of the 1960s, a decade shaped by the country’s first large-scale student protests. The movement yielded a wave of new books featuring innovative graphic design combined with photography: serialized imagery, gripping text-image combinations, dynamic cropping and the use of provocatively "poor" materials. The writings and images by Provoke's members—critic Koji Taki, poet Takahiko Okada, photographers Takuma Nakahira, Yakata Takanashi and Daido Moriyama—were suffused with the tactics developed by Japanese protest photographers such as Nobuyoshi Araki, Eikoh Hosoe and Shomei Tomatsu, who pointed at and criticized the mythologies of modern life. Provoke accompanies the first exhibition ever to be held on the magazine and its creators. Illuminating the various uses of photography in Japan at the time, the catalogue focuses on selected projects undertaken between 1960 and 1975 that offer a strongly interpretative account of currents in Japanese art and society at a moment of historical collapse and renewal.

Summary:
Despite its apparent throwaway status, the stock image comprises the primary commodity of a billion-dollar global industry with far-reaching effects in the marketplace and the public sphere. Taking this overlooked facet of contemporary life as a point of departure, "Ordinary Pictures" explores the photographic apparatuses and commercial interests that have given rise to our generic image culture through the conceptual image-based work of some 40 artists, including John Baldessari, Steven Baldi, Sarah Charlesworth, Anne Collier, Liz Deschenes, John Divola, Aleksandra Domanovi c, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Morgan Fisher, Hollis Frampton, Jack Goldstein, Rachel Harrison, Robert Heinecken, Leslie Hewitt, Elad Lassry, Louise Lawler, Sherrie Levine, Steve McQueen, Jack Pierson, Peter Piller, Seth Price, Amanda Rossotto, Ed Ruscha, Steven Shore, Sturtevant, Mungo Thomson, Wolfgang Tillmans, Tseng Kwong Chi, Julia Wachtel and Christopher Williams. Spanning generations, movements and artistic strategies from the 1960s to the present day, this publication brings together works by artists who have probed, mimicked and critiqued this aspect of our visual environment as well as its industrial modes of production and distribution. Through the work of these artists and a series of scholarly essays, the catalogue aims to examine different operations of the generic image in culture, namely its anonymous circulation and editorial uses, its adaptability and reproducibility, its technical processes of production, its claim to copyright and artistic license and its tendency toward abstraction. Featuring a unique, coil-bound design reminiscent of stock photo catalogues and a flexidisc recording by the artist Jack Goldstein, this highly collectible book ultimately reflects on contemporary art's own complicit function as an expanding industrial image economy.

Summary:
Dès l'invention du premier procédé de photographie, la daguerréotype, il apparaît évident que la nouvelle découverte doit être mise au service de l'archéologie, et remplacer désormais le dessin ou la gravure. Très vite, les vues des monuments se multiplient et les sites archéologiques italiens, fréquentés depuis deux siècles par les voyageurs du « Grand Tour », deviennent un motif de prédilection des photographes, en particulier des frères Alinari, qui, en 1854, ont créé à Florence leur atelier de reproductions d'art. Du nord au sud de l'Italie, de Suse à Ségeste, ils nous font découvrir l'immense amphitéâtre de Vérone, Rome, mille et mille fois glorifiée, entre Palatin, Forum et Colisée, la villa Hadriana et le temple de la Sibylle à Tivoli, les vestiges d'Herculanum, et surtout Pompéi, qui dévoile son immensité, ses intérieurs décorés, ses morts aussi, figés dans l'éternité. Dans le sud, ils montrent Paestum et ses temples immergés dans la solitude, les sites de Sicile, plus sauvages encore... Des images singulières, tout à la fois porteuses d'informations et d'émotion, entre décor antique « authentique » et cadre pittoresque du XIXe siècle, qui sont les premières représentations de ces lieux qu'aujourd'hui nous parcourons en touristes aisés, guide et appareil photo en main, trop rarement seuls. Outre les frères Alinari, d'autres photographes, italiens mais aussi anglais, allemands, français, ont fixé ces ruines et figurent dans ce livre : Brogi, Crupi, Caneva, Anderson, Graham, Macpherson, von Gloeden, Flachéron... Préface de Charles-Henri Favrod.

Summary:
Le numéro 6 de la revueTransbordeur revisite cette histoire de la photographie aérienne en éclairant en particulier sa dimension politique et épistémologique. Dans cette perspective, nous privilégions la notion d’« image verticale » à celle, plus générique, de vue aérienne. Cette notion permet non seulement de renvoyer à un arrangement spatial spécifique, mais également de souligner les relations de pouvoir qui le soutiennent et le modélisent. À la fois représentation et matérialisation de rapports de domination coloniale et impérialiste ou de politiques de surveillance policière et militaire, l’image verticale est productrice d’un savoir qui forge ces rapports et les rend possibles. À l’inverse, dans une démarche militante ou citoyenne, elle peut fournir une preuve permettant d’exposer et de dénoncer la violence et l’illégalité des agressions commises par des acteurs étatiques et institutionnels.
