    –

    Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to present A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, an exhibition of color photographs by Mike Brodie, aka The Polaroid Kidd. The exhibition opens on Thursday, March 7 and will be on view through Saturday, April 6.

    An artist’s reception and book signing of his new monograph, A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, published by Twin Palms, will be held on Thursday, March 7 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. This will be the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery and is concurrent with an exhibition of Brodie’s work at M+B Gallery in Los Angeles from March 16 – May 11, 2013.

    A Period of Juvenile Prosperity depicts the gritty youth subculture of freight train hoppers and squatters. From 2004 – 2009, Brodie created a prolific body of work which introduces viewers to an alternative lifestyle based on the constant movement of train travel across America. The gallery will present 30 photographs from Brodie’s series. (mehr …)

    Most Beautiful Books Australia & New Zealand | Call for entries 2013

    The Most Beautiful Books Australia & New Zealand (‘MBBANZ’) award program has been established to recognise innovation and excellence in book design and publishing in Australia and New Zealand. This biennial award program welcomes entries of all types, but the program seeks to emphasise the most innovative contemporary book design and publishing activity in Australia and New Zealand, including titles from independent and small press publishers. Importantly, the program seeks to minimise barriers to entry: there are no entry fees, and books may be nominated for consideration not only by designers and publishers, but also by readers and collectors.

  • Amaury da Cunha | Après tout

    Amaury da Cunha | Après tout

    Après tout (After All) represents a turning point in the work of Amaury da Cunha.
    His previous series, Saccades (Jolts), was somewhat luminous, infused with a sense of wonder facing the world. Après tout darkens in tone, as wonder gives way to bewilderment. Invading shadows are the backdrop for a photographer depicting himself as blinded. Death and sex are less allusive. A dog bares its fangs, while a bird of prey claws a branch. Yet shafts of light or a glimpsed road suggest that the end is not as impending as we may think. (mehr …)

  • Lars Tunbjörk | Vinter

    Lars Tunbjörk | Vinter

    Snowbound streets, buildings and abandoned cars, a dirty snowman standing forlorn in a garden.
    But interiors too, and portraits of people in their homes, at work, in cafés and at parties.

    For his series Vinter (Winter), Lars Tunbjörk travelled through Sweden from 2004 to 2007 capturing the melancholy winter atmosphere of Northern Europe and recording the mental state that closes in on the people of Scandinavia in the dark months of the year. For Tunbjörk himself, the project was originally primarily a creative way to cope with his own depressive mood, which regularly beset him in the winter months. (mehr …)

    Shane Lavalette | Picturing the South

    In 2010, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, which for decades has been the leading art museum in the South, commissioned Lavalette to produce a new collection of photographs for their „Picturing the South“ series, which includes past artists Sally Mann, Emmet Gowin, Richard Misrach, Dawoud Bey, Alex Webb and Alec Soth.

    When I began my project, […] I set out not to create any documentary about Southern Music but something more distinctly lyrical, inspired by the music.
    In particular, I’m interested in how the music is shaped by the landscape of the region as well as how our understanding of the landscape is shaped by the music.“ – Shane Lavalette, interview with Kate Levy, Daylight Magazine

  • Maxwell Anderson | Stop Making Sense

    Maxwell Anderson | Stop Making Sense

    Stop Making Sense is a series of ever so slightly awkward images, which sit between the lines of peculiar anomaly and quotidian normality. Each photograph is a second look at what we may take for granted in our visual everyday lives. Sometimes simply documenting the ‘hidden in clear view’ oddities of things as they exist, and sometimes looking closer at specific details, recontextualising certain aspects of things outside of the ‘whole picture’.

  • José Luis Abalo | Luchadores

    José Luis Abalo | Luchadores

    „A world of revenge, honor and glory. Enter the vision of José Luis Abalo. A native of Venezuela, he devoted his photographic efforts to the documentation of Lucha Libre – Mexican and South American wrestling. His photography manages to be humorous, dark, and startling in the same moment.
    His photo-book, Luchadores, will be a ticket to the front row of a wrestling match that will surprise you in its ferocity.“
    —Donovan Ortega
