Résumé:
A widely connected pioneer of Pop and mail art, Ray Johnson was described as ''New York’s most famous unknown artist.'' Best known for his dense, allusive collages, he stopped exhibiting in 1991, but his output did not diminish. Between 1992 and 1994, using 137 disposable cameras, he created a large body of work that is only now coming to light. Staging his artworks in settings near his home in Locust Valley, Long Island — parking lots, sidewalks, beaches, cemeteries — Johnson made photographs that make the world of everyday ''real life'' a part of his art. Within a few months, he devised a large new freestanding format for the simplified collages he began calling the ''movie stars'' of his camera tableaux. When he swam to his death at sea on 13 January 1995, Johnson left behind a vast archive that included over three thousand of the late photographs. What he called his ''new career as a photographer,'' which makes its debut in print here, marked the close of a romance with the camera that had spanned four decades of relentless invention.

Résumé:
Although Hare experienced a significant, if fleeting, degree of professional success, including a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1977, an Aperture monograph, and three Guggenheim fellowships, his work has not received the critical attention it deserves and his extraordinary life story remains obscure. This lack of recognition has much to do with Hare's fanatical aversion to the commercial realms of the art world even at the height of his professional success. Perhaps his most overt declaration of aesthetic disavowal was his ultimate decision to renounce his identity as an artist in 1985 and pursue a career as a clinical therapist specializing in 'work abuse'. Hare would subsequently donate his entire archive to the Bancroft Library at the University of California with the provision that any reproduction of his work must include a caption that states that the photograph was created ''to protest and warn against the growing domination of working people by multinational corporations and their elite owners and managers.'' ''Quitting your day job'' considers the vexed relation between art and politics that defined Hare's career, drawing upon largely unexamined archival materials, new interviews and analyzing Hare's brilliant and moving photographs alongside the prolix and oftentimes bathetic prefaces he wrote for the three collections of his photographs.

Résumé:
According to old pagan beliefs, Il Malocchio or ''the evil eye'' is a curse causing bad luck and misfortune. In his debut book ''Il Malocchio'', Italian photographer Andrea Simonato depicts the quiet villages of his home region of Vicenza in the Northern Italy as upon this curse of unluckiness causing decay and abandonment. On his walks through sleeping villages and their empty buildings, dark woods and resting groves, Simonato makes extraordinary findings in the seemingly common surroundings. The work echoes both longing and hope, creating a beautiful and poetic, yet mysterious ode to a place called home.

Résumé:
This publication presents a collection of eerie underwater images from the Lampaul Canyon in the Bay of Biscay, France. Made at depths of up to nearly 2,000 metres, these seascapes of otherworldly geologies seem rather barren at first sight, until a lone creature appears, caught by the camera’s flash. The bay’s canyons were formed as the continents drifted apart 120(...)

This publication presents a collection of eerie underwater images from the Lampaul Canyon in the Bay of Biscay, France. Made at depths of up to nearly 2,000 metres, these seascapes of otherworldly geologies seem rather barren at first sight, until a lone creature appears, caught by the camera’s flash. The bay’s canyons were formed as the continents drifted apart 120 million years ago, opening up the Atlantic Ocean. These bathyal visions by Nicolas Floc’h are filled with rocky outcrops, cliffs, falls, and folds, where marine particulate “snow” merges with living things, the unseen denizens of the ocean depths.

In her photographic work Austrian Aglaia Konrad has developed a distinctive way of documenting global urbanization. Her archive contains thousands of pictures concerning infrastructure and architecture, an almost unlimited collection that elucidates the relationship between society and place. The pictures allow the viewer to participate in a scenario where the dividing-lines between the old and the new, between architecture, nature, power and symbols are fluid.

Résumé:
This publication concentrates on the Functionalist stylistic register and ideology. Espen Gleditsch takes his point of departure in the architecture exhibition Weissenhofziedlung in Stuttgart, which opened in 1927 with the Functionalist icon Mies van der Rohe as artistic director. The criteria for the apartment blocks in the competition required all facades to be white and all roofs to be flat. But most of these houses were in fact painted in bright colours, although the black-and-white photographs in the catalogue maintained the impression of whiteness. The whiteness of the modern architecture was disseminated through the press, an impression that is still being reproduced.

Résumé:
Line B. Løkken takes her point of departure in documentary strategies, but empties her pictures of obvious action. The specific place is allowed to appear through isolated objects and tableaux which represent something larger. In this publication Løkken penetrates to a backdrop of heritage and memories by way of a place that seems impregnated with human activity. The motifs appear to be linked to the idea of the humble cottage. Here there is space for potentially nostalgic bric-à-brac, but also objects with an unclear practical purpose. Løkken’s title plays on a typical spring game, and interweaves images of Scrabble, piles of chalk and an old crossword book. On the opposite face of the squares and alphabet dice of the Scrabble box (which quietly spell b-r-ø-l – “roar”) is a horn on which some tufts of grass have been caught. Maturing, aging and new freshness play together over the pages, also in tactile and colouristic ways.

Résumé:
Avec ce livre, Éric Poitevin introduit le lecteur avec générosité dans l’univers de son atelier en proposant une sorte de journal, résultat de deux ans d’un travail intérieur qui documente, par le texte et par l’image, le processus de création. Il y dévoile les influences qu’ont pu avoir sur son travail ses lectures ou les images des autres. Le livre s’ouvre par un entretien entre Éric Poitevin et Jean-Christophe Bailly, qui permet de saisir son cheminement vers l’art, son parcours de photographe autant que ses intentions artistiques. L’artiste a ensuite sélectionné des extraits de sa correspondance, qui mettent en lumière ses rapports avec les galeries et les musées, ses relations avec ses contemporains (intellectuels et critiques), les affinités avec le territoire qui l’entoure, son rôle de professeur. L’ouvrage contient aussi une large sélection de photographies de sa collection personnelle, qui laissent entrevoir à la fois son intérêt historique pour le médium et une attention généreuse envers ses contemporains. Enfin, sont reproduites huit nouvelles séries de photographies inédites de l’artiste.
