They are also able to appeal to people’s sensitivity across the board, especially that of the critics and Western public, who seem to have been dulled by redundant aestheticism for years.

Summary:
This is the first book about the history, influences, and impact of the "Werkstatt für Photography" (Photography Workshop) founded by the Berlin photographer Michael Schmidt at the Volkshochschule Kreuzberg in 1976. In the midst of the Cold War, the Werkstatt initiated an artistic "airlift" to the United States, a democratic field of experimentation beyond the pale of traditional vocational and political-institutional standards. Those same years witnessed the establishment of infrastructures in West Germany that paved the way for the emancipation of photography as an art form. These included documenta 6 (1977), the first photo galleries and photography journals, and a number of pathbreaking exhibitions. Berlin, Hanover, and Essen played important roles in that process. All in all, the picture of a medium in transition emerges, a medium that developed an autonomous form of artistic authorship in the field of documentary. This book presents the story of German photography in the 1970s and 1980s, its international ties, its protagonists, and its networks.

Summary:
La production massive d’objets tend aujourd’hui à redéfinir la frontière entre les choses matérielles, prétendument inertes et passives, et l’être humain, considéré comme l’unique sujet doté d’agentivité. Loin d’être imperméable à cette redéfinition, l’image s’épand désormais hors de l’espace bidimensionnel : elle devient un objet en soi. Les artistes, auteures et auteurs du présent ouvrage s’intéressent ainsi aux univers qui se construisent entre les individus et leur environnement matériel, mettant en relief les rapports de réciprocité qui s’opèrent entre sujet et objet.

Summary:
'The Soviet Century' is a comprehensive new assessment of Soviet photography from the years 1917 to 1972. Over 500 photographs from the collection of Spain’s Archivo Lafuente present a deep survey of Soviet life through depictions of political meetings, factories, demonstrations and farms, as well as portraits of political leaders, artists, peasants and workers. This 600-page volume includes three historical essays that examine the complex artistic and ideological status of photography throughout the period, caught between state-led imperatives to achieve political ends and formal, artistic experimentation, especially with the 1920s avant-garde.

Entre les lignes de « Architecture exquise », la dernière publication de la Maison de l’Architecture Occitanie-Pyrénées, coéditée par la jeune maison d’édition Building Books accompagnant l’exposition éponyme, on explore un récit épistolaire et une dérive photographique entre trois photographes Eric Tabuchi, Patrick Tourneboeuf et Cyrille Weiner qui se sont prêtés au jeu proposé par un architecte, Jean-Baptiste Friot, endossant pour l’occasion le costume du commissaire. L’exercice est simple : les photographes sont invités à chercher dans leur collection personnelle l’image qui répondra à une autre image, à tour de rôle, dans une version photographique du célèbre cadavre exquis, pour embarquer le visiteur-lecteur en voyage dans un paysage imaginaire et sans limites. Une seule règle régit la commission : l’équité du temps de « parole » et une séquence.

In the early 1970s, Lew Thomas set out to disrupt photography in San Francisco. Tired of the mystical thinking and emotionalism that had underscored Bay Area photography since the 1940s, Thomas pursued a photographic practice grounded in ideas gleaned from conceptual art and Structuralist philosophy. A cohort of other photographers, including Donna-Lee Phillips and Hal Fischer, embraced Thomas’ mission, joining him in what became known as the ‘Photography and Language’ movement, named after a book and group exhibition of the same title produced by Thomas in 1976. This book is published in conjunction with an exhibition featuring photographs by these three artists that will be on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art January 4 – August 9, 2020, this volume assesses their work, their relationship to one another and their place in the history of photography in the 1970s.

Summary:
France experienced a golden age of photobook production from the late 1920s through the 1950s. Avant-garde experiments in photography, text, design, and printing, within the context of a growing modernist publishing scene, contributed to an outpouring of brilliantly designed books. Making Strange offers a detailed examination of photobook innovation in France, exploring seminal publications by Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Pierre Jahan, William Klein, and Germaine Krull. Kim Sichel argues that these books both held a mirror to their time and created an unprecedented modernist visual language. Sichel provides an engaging analysis through the lens of materiality, emphasizing the photobook as an object with which the viewer interacts haptically as well as visually. Rich in historical context and beautifully illustrated, 'Making Strange' reasserts the role of French photobooks in the history of modern art.

Summary:
It is the seemingly peripheral details and gestures that anchor this collection of images. Like the building they document, these photographs of the Drawing Matter Archive at the Shatwell Farm in Somerset are reflections of the project’s backgrounds, contextual minutiae, and footnotes. Taking the form of a three-way conversation between Hugh Strange (the archive’s architect), photographer Max Creasy, and architect and academic Elizabeth Hatz, this book offers a subtly poetic and expansive examination of the building, the collection it houses, and its place in the surrounding farm, as well as a wider evaluation of the built form.
