Summary:
Based around an out-of-print anthology devoted to prehistoric collections unearthed by archaeological expeditions in Algeria, French artist Camille Henrot's latest project treats this ethnographic material as motifs of a contemporary grotesque. The scientific document photographs, diagrams, and captions becomes part of a layered array incorporating traces of our present age: humans, animals, plants, minerals, and other objects. Freely mixing the pre- and post-historic, archaic and actual, Henrot constructs an exploration of human bodies, information media, and meaning using dated pornography, technological refuse, tools and instruments, signs, and more.

Summary:
Artisanal production in Cairo takes place in open-air workshops and directly on the street. Stucco producers in the city are grouped into clusters where interior walls and facades are covered with patterns and serve as a catalogue of ornaments. The result is often chaotic and grotesque. Decorative styles of the Belle Époque are deconstructed and reassembled as a spatial(...)

Summary:
Artisanal production in Cairo takes place in open-air workshops and directly on the street. Stucco producers in the city are grouped into clusters where interior walls and facades are covered with patterns and serve as a catalogue of ornaments. The result is often chaotic and grotesque. Decorative styles of the Belle Époque are deconstructed and reassembled as a spatial collage, while symbols from pop culture are juxtaposed with historical forms. In his photos, Luc Merx reveals these unique aesthetics and diverse references to building practice and art history. The plaster casts reflect Egypt’s contradictory relationship to its colonial past, to modernity, and to the country’s own identity.

Summary:
The leading Russian propaganda artist Aleksandr Zhitomirsky (1907–1993) made photomontages that were airdropped on German troops during World War II. He later worked for Pravda and other leading publications, satirizing American politics and finance from the Truman through the Reagan eras and educating his public about Egypt, South Africa, Vietnam, and Nicaragua as well. Zhitomirsky favored the grotesque and the eye-catching. In this comprehensive account of Zhitomirsky’s long career, Erika Wolf explores his connections to and long friendship with the German artist John Heartfield, whose work inspired his own. Wolf also examines more than 100 of Zhitomirsky’s photomontages and translates excerpts from his one published book, "The Art of Political Photomontage: Advice for the Artist" (1983).
