Summary:
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.

This evocative set of images has risen from visits to over darkrooms in Campeau's native Canada, and while it might be a stretch to imagine a less promising subject matter, the end result is a superb and fascinating tribute to an increasingly rare working environment.

Summary:
Over the past two decades, Roy Arden has become one of Canada�s most respected artists. Along with that of Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace, Rodney Graham and Stan Douglas, his work has contributed to Vancouver�s reputation as a vital centre for contemporary photographic art. This important book looks at Arden�s unique approach to photography and his investigations into modern city life. Arden�s work can be divided into three periods. From 1981 to 1985 he produced Fragments, lyrical colour portraits and urban details. The years 1985 to 1990 were dedicated to what Arden calls his �meta-photography,� art about photography and its history. Since 1990 he has focused on �the landscape of the economy� in images of the city and its never-ending transformations. This handsome catalogue includes two major scholarly texts about Arden�s work along with shorter texts by six artists, curators and critics.

Il incarne à lui seul l'esprit tchèque de l'entre-deux-guerres et la vitalité de la scène praguoise dont l'apport à la culture européenne reste essentiel. Née du pictorialisme, l'œuvre de Drtikol est profondément marquée, dans une première phase, par le courant symboliste.

Summary:
Il incarne à lui seul l'esprit tchèque de l'entre-deux-guerres et la vitalité de la scène praguoise dont l'apport à la culture européenne reste essentiel. Née du pictorialisme, l'œuvre de Drtikol est profondément marquée, dans une première phase, par le courant symboliste. Au tournant des années 1920, fonctionnalisme, cubisme, abstraction et art déco imprègnent ses recherches : la composition fait place à une géométrie nouvelle, l'éclairage se contraste, le nu se fragmente. De Prague, où il fut le fameux portraitiste des élites en vogue, à Paris, où la publication de ses nus consacra sa renommée internationale, Frantisek Drtikol a imposé par sa technique magistrale, son originalité et sa profondeur conceptuelle une photographie résolument novatrice.

Summary:
Observation, whether by the human eye or the eye of a surveillance camera, requires an architectural structure that elevates the viewer into a position of advantage. The system of Iron Age hill forts, built across Britain from around 500 B.C., used natural promontories to survey the surrounding landscape; 2000 years later the British army used a similar system of(...)

Summary:
Observation, whether by the human eye or the eye of a surveillance camera, requires an architectural structure that elevates the viewer into a position of advantage. The system of Iron Age hill forts, built across Britain from around 500 B.C., used natural promontories to survey the surrounding landscape; 2000 years later the British army used a similar system of watchtowers to survey the occupied territories of Northern Ireland. These high tech towers, constructed in the mid 1980s, primarily in the mountainous border region of South Armagh, were landmarks in a 30-year conflict in and over Northern Ireland, euphemistically called "The Troubles." The Towers were finally demolished between 2003 and 2007 as part of the British government's "demilitarization" program for Northern Ireland. For over a year Donovan Wylie photographed these towers, working entirely from an elevated position enabled by military helicopter, observing the observers and ensuring that their actions were not forgotten.

Summary:
Florian Maier-Aichen's photographs portray the natural, industrial and cultural landscape with stylized eccentricity. By using the tropes of documentary photography in unconventional ways, Maier-Aichen creates sublime images rich with reference and allusion. His photographs of the California coast, the Alps and other tourist destinations are openly beautiful and seductive in their rich hues and expansive viewpoints. However, these and other images of melting cathedrals, failed industry and tragic ghost ships are nuanced with a subtle disquiet and ensuing criticality. Born in Stuttgart, Germany, and educated at the University of California, Los Angeles, Maier-Aichen begins with a traditional large-format image that he captures on film. He then applies a myriad of creative adjustments to each component that become building blocks for intricate and layered compositions. This succinct paperback contains color reproductions of new and recent works, documentary images of Maier-Aichen's process, and an essay by MOCA curator Rebecca Morse.

Summary:
Since 1995 Peter Friedl has been photographing public playgrounds from around the world and compiling them alphabetically by reference to the names of the places. Friedl’s conceptual photography project engages at a discursive level with themes of socio-history, design, and urbanism. It makes no claim to being a comprehensive typology but is instead a narrative study in which the photographed playgrounds are as important as those not shown in his photographs. This is a story of the world told through the prism of its playgrounds.

Summary:
This concise and beautiful exhibition catalogue features arresting, colorful, Rorschach Test-like photograms of flowers by the Los Angeles-based conceptual photographer James Welling. For this series, Welling placed the blossoms of a common southern California plant on sheets of 8x10 film and exposed them to light. The negatives were then projected onto special photo paper through a color mural enlarger and color filters, to produce the dramatic, spectral, almost sun - or moon - dappled images reproduced here. Currently a professor of fine art at UCLA, Welling studied at CalArts in the early 1970s. Welling was the subject of a midcareer retrospective at the Wexner Center for the Arts in 2000, which traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. He is represented in New York by David Zwirner Gallery and in Los Angeles by Regen Projects.
