Summary:
Ari Marcopoulos is best known for documenting boyish subcultures from the inside out. His work on professional snowboarding appears in Transitions and Exits and his photos on hip-hop--five years of images of the Beastie Boys--in Pass the Mic. Aaron Rose, who showed Marcopoulos at Alleged Gallery, has said of the artist's uncanny connection with one set of subjects, a crowd of New York skateboarders ten years his junior, "There was just something in his personality that said, 'Hey man, it's cool.'" It shows. Marcopoulos's self-taught snapshot style brings his subjects in close, and captures, without sentimentality or voyeurism, the intimate feeling of their daily life. Here he focuses on the subculture that is his own family. Even the President of the United States Sometimes Has Got to Stand Naked is a journal-like collection of images of the accidents and pleasures of "normal" life, full of the artist's loved ones, of landscapes and of American social reality.

Summary:
«In the end Otte devotes himself to a dream: He builds a new road. The rotary snowplow is his tool. It drives upon the existing, the direction determining ground, in order to erect another edifice upon it. It follows an old track, but lets itself not be diverted from its undertaking. A gorge offering no escape emerges between the masses of snow, in whose uniformity the spatial coordinates are lost. The photographer has moved from the neutral grey to arrive at the white of fantasy. This road appears to be a path into the unreal, away from the certainties of daily life- and yet, heaping up the snow is only the trite means to make a road also passable in the winter.» Timm Starl 2007

Summary:
When Tod Papageorge began this work, the newspaper saw Central Park chiefly as a site of danger and outrage, and they were doubtless partly right. But the park shown here seems no more dangerous than life itself, and no less filled with beauty, charming incident, excess, jokes in questionable taste, unintended consequence, and pathos, truly described. One might say that(...)

But the park shown here seems no more dangerous than life itself, and no less filled with beauty, charming incident, excess, jokes in questionable taste, unintended consequence, and pathos, truly described. One might say that no artist has done so much for this piece of land since Frederick Law Olmstead.

Summary:
Award-winning documentary maker John Paskievich has made his name making films about places and people throughout the world. His films made for the National Film Board have chronicled groups as different as young Czechs trying to be North American Indians, the impoverished Roma community in Slovakia, and an isolated group of Orthodox Russians on the Canadian prairies. As a filmmaker, his work has been shown at film festivals throughout North America and Europe, including the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto Festival of Festivals. In "The North End", Paskievich returns to his first love, photography. His lyrical black and white photographs chronicle a community closer to home, the iconic Winnipeg neighbourhood in which he grew up. Winnipeg’s North End is the great Canadian melting pot, the place "north of the tracks" that welcomed waves of immigrants from central and eastern Europe at the turn of the last century. It is a place that spawned some of Canada’s greatest cultural events and personalities, from the Winnipeg General Strike to the Guess Who. Paskievich captures the vibrancy and conflicts of the North End and other urban spaces like it, places where history, poverty, and resilience come together.

On doit à l’éditeur allemand Daab l’initiative de publier Japan du photographe français Pierre Faure avec une courte introduction de Franz van der Grinten. L’ouvrage est un des plus impressionnants de l’année, avec un format majeur (26 x 36,5cm) et un nombre d’images en proportion (125). La chose n’est toutefois pas étonnante puisque Pierre Faure – trop peu montré en France il est vrai (nous l’avions présenté dans "La Région humaine" au MAC de Lyon fin 2006 avec une sélection du corpus édité aujourd’hui) – est représenté par la galerie de Cologne Kudlek van der Grinten. Les visiteurs de la dernière édition de Paris Photo ont pu découvrir quelques tirages de Japan sur le stand de la galerie allemande. Aujourd’hui mieux connu outre-Rhin qu’en France, Pierre Faure affirme donc un travail qu’il est urgent de diffuser ici. Mission que remplit aujourd’hui le livre Japan.

Summary:
Since the late 90s, Dan Holdsworth has developed a reputation as one of the most innovative British photographers currently working with landscape. His early series concentrate on the quiet moments in everyday spaces: office buildings after work, car parks at night and deserted motorway flyovers. Such subjects are the basis for Holdsworth’s more recent examination of technology and isolation in modern society. In more recent years he has traveled internationally, studying the areas where technology and architecture are representative of an accelerated economic world at their most removed and alien. The photographs are silent and iconic, witnesses of our world.
