Résumé:
Ari Marcopoulos is best known for documenting boyish subcultures from the inside out. His work on professional snowboarding appears in Transitions and Exits and his photos on hip-hop--five years of images of the Beastie Boys--in Pass the Mic. Aaron Rose, who showed Marcopoulos at Alleged Gallery, has said of the artist's uncanny connection with one set of subjects, a crowd of New York skateboarders ten years his junior, "There was just something in his personality that said, 'Hey man, it's cool.'" It shows. Marcopoulos's self-taught snapshot style brings his subjects in close, and captures, without sentimentality or voyeurism, the intimate feeling of their daily life. Here he focuses on the subculture that is his own family. Even the President of the United States Sometimes Has Got to Stand Naked is a journal-like collection of images of the accidents and pleasures of "normal" life, full of the artist's loved ones, of landscapes and of American social reality.

Résumé:
Founded by architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969) in 1919, the Bauhaus was the 20th century’s most influential school of art, architecture, and design. After the school was shuttered under pressure from the Nazis in 1933, many Bauhaus artists brought their innovative practices and teaching methods to the United States. Gropius himself accepted a position at Harvard, where he would help establish a collection of Bauhaus material that has since grown to more than 30,000 objects—the largest such collection outside Germany. Harvard in turn became an unofficial center for the Bauhaus in America. Written by established and emerging voices in the field, the scholarship presented here expands on the special link between the two institutions, while highlighting understudied aspects of the Bauhaus, such as weaving, photography, and art made by women. Accompanied by illustrations—some of never-before-published objects—this book yields fascinating insights for Bauhaus devotees and design aficionados.

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:
For three years, Caleb Cain Marcus has been photographing what Robert Frank calls, in his haiku-esque preface to this volume, “the light of night.” The black-and-white photographs collected in this monograph explore the silent and haunting experience of walking alone after dark on the streets of New York City. Caleb Cain Marcus savors the strange solitude that follows the familiar crowded confinement of the city's daylight life; amid vacated construction sites, empty pews in churches, parking lots and subway tunnels, an eerily placid beauty resounds, consuming spaces that were once filled with bustle and chaos. As each shot marks the passing of another night, the collection accumulates a quiet, consistent resonance. Cain Marcus' work urges the viewer to slow down, to look at and breathe in the mute magic of night-time New York. "The Silent Aftermath of Space" is presented in large format, allowing viewers to submerge themselves in its mood. Exposed from direct light sources, these images are grainy and enigmatic nocturnal gems.

Résumé:
This thought-provoking volume offers a critical reevaluation of the term foreclosure: it can refer not only to a forced eviction but also to processes of exclusion - a shutting down of recognition, reflection, and debate. Through work in photography, film, video, installation, and performance, the seven artists represented in this volume (Kamal Aljafari, Yto Barrada, Tania Bruguera, Claude Closky, Harun Farocki, Allan Sekula, and David Shrigley) investigate the expanded meaning of foreclosure by reexamining the systems that have produced crises, instead of focusing on the aftermath. Four essays from a team of international curators discuss foreclosure as both a generative concept and a curatorial strategy, allowing the text itself to become a platform for critique.

Résumé:
«La photographie en France» dresse un panorama complet de la photographie française contemporaine et retrace, sur les trois dernières décennies, les principales évolutions d'une pratique considérée aujourd'hui comme une composante essentielle des arts plastiques. Christian Gattinoni rend compte de ces trois grandes étapes afin de mieux saisir les enjeux de la photographie française actuelle. Quatre textes de critiques européens viennent compléter cette étude et un portfolio donne à voir, avec une cinquantaine d’images reproduites, la vitalité de ce qu’il est désormais convenu d’appeler un «art contemporain» à part entière. L'ouvrage comprend également une bibliographie actualisée de plus de deux cents titres et un carnet d'adresses recensant les principales structures d'exposition, de collection, d'édition et de diffusion de la photographie française.

Résumé:
La vie et l'oeuvre de Sergio Larrain, un des photographes chiliens les plus importants, sont entourées d'une aura de génie et de mystère. Il réalisa dès les années cinquante un travail précieux et brillant qui, jusqu'à sa mort en 2012, demeura quasiment inconnu au Chili. Personnage contradictoire, il s'est retiré de la vie publique à la fin des années soixante-dix pour se consacrer à la méditation, au yoga et à l'écriture. Larrain resta connecté au monde de la photographie en maintenant une multitude de relations épistolaires, avec la singularité qui le caractérise. Ce livre, écrit aux confins du cercle familial, explore les clairs-obscurs de sa biographie. Sergio Lorrain, la photo perdue est le sixième titre de la collection TXT, dirigée par Agnès Sire.
