Résumé:
With "Bloom", Thomas Flechtner continues to go his own way as an artist. In his internationally acclaimed debut publication "Snow", he took viewers by surprise with a compelling visual metaphysics of snow as the exploration of a psychological state. After exhibitions in London, New York, Bilbao, and Tokyo, Flechtner is now free to pursue a new passion, the unbridled color and movement of organic nature, which he examines with lyrical lightness and tremendous precision in these densely atmospheric studies of plants. As a photographer, Flechtner goes in search of the essence of nature, abandoning the ostensible safety of distance and allowing proximity and for the first time also movement. In "Bloom", the viewer is invited to take in a feast of light and color and to enter a space beyond nature’s supposed laws.

Résumé:
Depuis la seconde moitié des années 1960, Victor Burgin développe une œuvre d'une rare exigence plastique autant que théorique. D'abord identifié comme l'un des acteurs majeurs de l'art conceptuel, Victor Burgin s'est employé, dans son travail articulant texte et photographie, à décoder les présupposés et les usages des images. Son œuvre fait fonds des médias de masse, du cinéma ou de la peinture aussi bien que de la littérature, de la sémiologie, de la psychanalyse ou des études culturelles. Dans les années 1990, la vidéo s'ajoute aux photo-textes et devient le médium privilégié de l'artiste. Si cet ouvrage offre une vision d'ensemble du parcours de Victor Burgin, c'est à cette pratique de vidéaste qu'il s'attache plus particulièrement. Rassemblant des écrits de l'artiste lui-même (pour la plupart inédits ou traduits pour la première fois en français), des essais critiques de Philippe Dubois, Evgenia Giannouri, Marianne Massin et Françoise Parfait, deux entretiens (l'un avec Homi Bhabha, datant de 1991, l'autre avec les étudiants du Master professionnel "Métiers et arts de l'exposition ", réalisé en 2007) et des notices consacrées à ses différentes vidéos, cette monographie propose une analyse approfondie de l'art de Victor Burgin et permet d'apprécier l'ampleur de ses enjeux esthétiques et politiques. C'est en effet une véritable politique de et par l'image qui se construit au fil de ses œuvres et de ses essais. Cet ouvrage documente enfin Fogliazzi, l'installation photo-vidéo que Victor Burgin a créée pour son exposition à la galerie Art & Essai de l'université Rennes 2 Haute-Bretagne (3 mai/15 juin 2007).

According to photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, "For the chosen few, flying Concorde is apparently a glamorous but cramped and slightly boring routine while to watch it in air, landing or taking off is a strange and free spectacle, a super modern anachronism and an image of the desire to overcome time and distance through technology."

Résumé:
According to photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, "For the chosen few, flying Concorde is apparently a glamorous but cramped and slightly boring routine while to watch it in air, landing or taking off is a strange and free spectacle, a super modern anachronism and an image of the desire to overcome time and distance through technology." With no text other than the inner-front flap's description, this fourth printing of Tillmans' iconic artist's book consists of 62 color photographs of the Concorde airplane--taking off, landing or in flight, and sometimes as just a tiny, bird-like silhouette in the sky. The photographs speak of both the beauty and the environmental devastation produced by this fabled French airplane, both sides of which Tillmans captures in his casual yet formally elegant signature style.

Résumé:
Arthur Fellig, better known as Weegee, and his 1945 photography book, Naked City, with its tabloid-style images of Manhattan crime, crowds, and nightlife, overturned prevailing journalistic practices almost overnight. In this volume, art historians Anthony W. Lee and Richard Meyer bring different outlooks on photography to their discussions of Weegee. Meyer looks at Weegee's pictures before they were collected and assesses how his practice of tabloid photography was inseparable from his own lowbrow appeal. Lee paints the world of leftist journalism in 1930s and 1940s New York and shows how it shaped the photographer's vision.

Résumé:
Milan Sklenar Photographs brings together for the first time over 100 photographs by this Czech-American artist, whose work was previously unpublished and virtually unknown. Drawing on the social documentary currents of photography in the mid-20th century, Sklenar's work transcends the fascination with the "decisive moment" which figures so prominently in the work of his contemporaries. Here, we discover the work of an artist whose unique talent resides in his ability to connect the purely momentary to the broader continuum of shared experience. This book also includes a biographical introduction by the New York writer Rosemary Mahoney and an insightful essay by the young English critic Chris Morgan.
