Summary:
Lynne Cohen photographie depuis plus de trente ans, des espaces intérieurs sans personnages : laboratoires, stations thermales, salles d'attente ou d'entraînement. Leur décoration, souvent très kitsch, peut être comique, même si elle contribue à en renforcer l'aspect intriguant, voire inquiétant. Les cadrages rigoureux, à même distance, la lumière qui met en relief matières et couleurs confèrent à ces images une apparence construite. S'attachant à l'aspect factice des lieux, parfois à l'usage mal défini, Lynne Cohen n'en suggère pas moins un contrôle social qui s'exerce de manière diffuse. Le titre fait jouer la polysémie du terme anglais cover (couverture) qui peut signifier couvercle, revêtement, protection, ou réserve. Il renvoie au livre lui-même, au croisement de la photographie utilitaire et de l'art contemporain, du sens et du non-sens, de l'ordinaire et de l'onirique. Publiée à l'occasion de l'exposition 'Cover,' Le Point du jour,Cherbourg-Octeville, juillet- septembre 2009.

Summary:
The current urban landscape in the Netherlands is more and more derived from neo-traditional architecture: complete suburbs are built in this style. The houses appear old but gleam with newness. Project developers do not sell individual houses but 'images' that look familiar and safe. Colourful artist's impressions on billboards with appealing slogans win still hesitant(...)

Summary:
The current urban landscape in the Netherlands is more and more derived from neo-traditional architecture: complete suburbs are built in this style. The houses appear old but gleam with newness. Project developers do not sell individual houses but 'images' that look familiar and safe. Colourful artist's impressions on billboards with appealing slogans win still hesitant buyers over. Many picturesque examples from the history of Dutch architecture are nonchalantly copied and some locations could be mistaken for Disneyland. The photographer Korrie Besems documents this new urban landscape in her photographs. The guiding principle is the need to show the artificial and unnatural transformation process of the densely populated Netherlands.

Carlo Valsecchi: lumen
$84.00
(available to order)
Summary:
From monumental industrial architecture to the interiors of strange machines, the photographs of Carlo Valsecchi alternate between precise figuration and poetic abstraction. Devoid of human presence, these large-format images often adopt unexpected vantage points, which initially destabilize our perception and then encourage us to engage more actively with the image.(...)

Summary:
From monumental industrial architecture to the interiors of strange machines, the photographs of Carlo Valsecchi alternate between precise figuration and poetic abstraction. Devoid of human presence, these large-format images often adopt unexpected vantage points, which initially destabilize our perception and then encourage us to engage more actively with the image. Although much of his work clearly occupies the strong tradition of the industrial landscape developed by the German school (Becher, Gursky), Valsecchi inhabits his own expressive register, with a soft palette and nuanced chromatic scale.
