They visited California and the South (Phoenix, Dallas, New Orleans and Atlanta) before heading up to Chicago and Philadelphia, only to reach New York after a month on the road. A Grand Tour comprising cities, architecture, deserts and encounters. An educational journey, but also a discoveryof America in its heyday, captured in magnificent black and white by a group of cultured European travellers. That journey became issue 17 of Zodiac, the international architecture magazine published by Olivetti, while the contact sheets containing the photographs of the four travellers has re-emerged only recently.

Summary:
Robert Frank is one of the most influential of all post-war photographers. Pioneering a revolutionary approach to photography and filmmaking, he combines autobiographical and poetic elements to produce straight black-and-white images that transcend the specific. Speaking of universal experience, Frank has said, "I'm trying to forget easy photo, trying to make something from within." He adds, "Time moves on and never stops or waits." Often involving a progression through a series of images, his work is structured like a musical sequence, creating storylines that resonate beyond the frozen moment of any single photograph. "Storylines" accompanies an exhibition highlighting Frank's experimental use of narrative in photography and film. The exhibition consists of his films and photographs, including Polaroids, contact sheets, and recent digital stills. Photographs from locations as diverse as Peru, London, Wales, Coney Island, and Chicago, appear along with several artist's books.

D’où le terme « politesse ». Au contact des autres, nous adaptons notre manière d’être et de vivre, nous tissons des liens et édictons, sans les nommer ou les verbaliser, des règles qui prescrivent des conduites.Comment demander l’addition au restaurant ? Doit-on signifier au chef que la nourriture qu’on nous a servie est infecte ? Doit-on faire la file pour attendre l’autobus ? Ces situations qui paraissent simples sont aussi complexes que peuvent l’être les individus. Qui a envie aujourd’hui d’un guide de savoir-vivre sur le Québec ? Personne ! Et ça tombe bien puisque ce livre irrévérentieux n’est pas un guide, mais une compilation d’observations des manières d’agir et de vivre à Montréal en ce début du XXIe siècle.

Summary:
Face à la marche en avant du capital, voué à conquérir des territoires toujours plus reculés au dehors comme en dedans de nous-même, des voix s'élèvent et en appellent à prendre en compte les limites. Mais leur nature reste encore à définir : tel est l’objet de ce livre. Les limites sont constitutives de notre être-au-monde, elles lui donnent sa densité et sa saveur. Dans chaque moment de la vie quotidienne, nous évoluons dans un lieu précis du vaste monde, situé autour de notre corps et imprégné de nos manières d'être personnelles. Or le capitalisme s'attaque à cette dimension fondamentale, en sapant toujours davantage les possibilités de contact direct avec notre environnement. Alliant philosophie, sociologie et littérature, ce livre tente de déterminer où se situent désormais les résistances à opposer à la dynamique du capital, en redonnant à notre sensibilité une puissance politique.

Summary:
Madoka Takagi’s first monograph, "My place", previously existed only as a self-published artists’ book. The Museum of Modern Art and The Getty Museum each acquired a set for their permanent collection. Traveling throughout the city with an 8 x 10-inch view camera and making elegant contact platinum prints, Takagi may not have found happiness but she did start a story: a tale etched in light and metal about finding a place and making it special. From the Municipal Building to the Cathedral Saint John the Divine, from Coney Island to Roosevelt Island, from East Houston Street to Frederick Douglas Boulevard, from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the Bronx Zoo, Takagi finds a city transformed by a magical light into a place of stillness and beauty. This book is a facsimile of one of the original artists’ books, printed in a limited first edition of 1,000 copies.

Le photographe Marco Barbon met en scène le lien parental qui subsiste par-delà l'absence de l'enfant. Des textes intimes écrits par ces mères et ces pères dialoguent avec les images photographiques, qui dévoilent avec pudeur cet espace émotionnel où le vide pointe et où la tendresse passée est la plus précieuse des archives. Ce livre ne se limite pas à documenter la souffrance endurée par les parents ; il met également en lumière l'amour inconditionnel qu'ils portent à leurs enfants. L'amour parental est là malgré tout et il ne peut pas être effacé, tel un soleil qui éclaire de toute sa chaleur même la nuit la plus noire.

"The part of the mind that's aware of perfection tells us everything that is good." "You can contact the mind by asking for help." Somewhat uncharacteristically, Martin asked her friend Richard Tuttle to illustrate it. As Tuttle writes in his introduction, "on the one hand, it reconfirms her most classical thought (Beauty is the mystery of life), and, on the other, adds new thought with an urgency only found in a mature artist of her age and persuasion." This beautiful, slim volume constitutes both an important artist's statement and a great collaboration.

Summary:
British photographer Jem Southam (born 1950) is not short on tenacity; he patiently observes the topographical changes at a single location, revisiting a site over months or even years. Sometimes the recorded modifications are driven by man, as seen in his The Pond at Upton Pyne series, which charts a village pond as it is transformed by successive periods of neglect and attempts at landscaping. At other times, the transformations seem less steered by humankind, but still suggest a delicate balance between nature and man, decay and renewal. Southam uses a large-format camera, which produces 8 x 10 inch negatives, in order to attain an extreme degree of detail. While the enlarged prints reveal a captivating wealth of information, smaller "contact prints"—made by placing the negative directly onto the photographic paper—achieve a contrasting intimacy; both affirm Southam's acute sensitivity to place, superbly represented by this handsomely bound monograph.
