Résumé:
When Tod Papageorge began this work, the newspaper saw Central Park chiefly as a site of danger and outrage, and they were doubtless partly right. But the park shown here seems no more dangerous than life itself, and no less filled with beauty, charming incident, excess, jokes in questionable taste, unintended consequence, and pathos, truly described. One might say that(...)

Résumé:
When Tod Papageorge began this work, the newspaper saw Central Park chiefly as a site of danger and outrage, and they were doubtless partly right. But the park shown here seems no more dangerous than life itself, and no less filled with beauty, charming incident, excess, jokes in questionable taste, unintended consequence, and pathos, truly described. One might say that no artist has done so much for this piece of land since Frederick Law Olmstead.

Résumé:
Award-winning documentary maker John Paskievich has made his name making films about places and people throughout the world. His films made for the National Film Board have chronicled groups as different as young Czechs trying to be North American Indians, the impoverished Roma community in Slovakia, and an isolated group of Orthodox Russians on the Canadian prairies. As a filmmaker, his work has been shown at film festivals throughout North America and Europe, including the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto Festival of Festivals. In "The North End", Paskievich returns to his first love, photography. His lyrical black and white photographs chronicle a community closer to home, the iconic Winnipeg neighbourhood in which he grew up. Winnipeg’s North End is the great Canadian melting pot, the place "north of the tracks" that welcomed waves of immigrants from central and eastern Europe at the turn of the last century. It is a place that spawned some of Canada’s greatest cultural events and personalities, from the Winnipeg General Strike to the Guess Who. Paskievich captures the vibrancy and conflicts of the North End and other urban spaces like it, places where history, poverty, and resilience come together.

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.

Darkroom is the first book in a series edited by Martin Parr, for Nazraeli Press, with the aim of presenting work that has never before been published in book form but which most definitely "should have been." 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. Michel Campeau lives and works in Montreal.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.
