How Humans Made God, my new bookwork from SUPER LABO

 

 
Japanese publisher SUPER LABO has just released my new photobook, How Humans Made God. 
 
The title of this bookwork – How Humans Made God – came from a lecture given by the controversial New Zealand theologian Sir Lloyd Geering at the Auckland Writers Festival in 2013. Geering presented his idea that man has invented God and in saying this he rejects the notion that God is a supernatural being who created and continues to look over the world. My book is not about how humans made God but simply a series of pictures that are open to interpretation and are united in their inability to actually explain anything. This work considers the oneness of things where in many respects everything and nothing is God. I am interested in not prioritizing one thing over another which occurs when disparate pictures are placed together in a photo book. It is my hope therefore that this series of pictures will set a stage for the possibility of invention and lead to thoughts of what do we believe and why the world is the way it is.

Printed in a limited edition of 500 copies, each book comes with one of five, each different, signed and numbered C prints, 15 x 10 cm. The book is an offset printed, cloth-bound, hardcover edition, 17.7 x 25 cm, 76 pages with 66 images.  

The book is available direct from SUPER LABO and also at PARIS PHOTO where I will be doing a book signing 5-6pm Thursday Nov 13 and 2-3pm Sunday Nov 16.

Other new books available from SUPER LABO at Paris Photo include editions from Takashi Homma, Ed Templeton, Jim Goldberg, Joel Meyerowitz, Antoine d'Agata, JH Engström and Margot Wallard.

Jörg Colberg - Conscientious Portfolio Competition 2014

Jörg Colberg has just announced the call for entries in the 2014 incarnation of his Conscientious Portfolio Competition.
The Conscientious Portfolio Competition (CPC), which is now in its sixth year, is free to enter. It always has been, it always will be. There are no costs involved other than the time it takes to select and send in your work. CPC is aimed at emerging photographers. Photographers not represented by a gallery will get preferential treatment. However, the quality of the work itself plays the most important role.

This year to determine the winner(s) there are two guest judges joining Jörg, curators Arianna Rinaldo and Thomas Weski.

CPC happens in two stages. The first stage is the submission stage. where photographers are asked to send in their application via email. The deadline for this is 31 October 2014, 11:59pm ET.

From the pool of submissions, 25 candidates will be picked for the second round. The photographers in this pool will receive an email, and they will have to send in ten jpeg images.
The winner(s) of the competition will have their work featured on the  Conscientious website, presented in the form of an extended conversation.

Full details can be found HERE on the Conscientious site.

This is an exceptional opportunity to have work seen by Jörg Colberg (and potentially Arianna Rinaldo and Thomas Weski) who in my opinion has an unequaled  level of knowledge, taste and credibility. What's more this Portfolio Competition is FREE unlike other offerings where participants have to front up with hefty $ to have their work seen by reviewers whose opinion often doesn't count for much.

Conscientious Photography Magazine is a website dedicated to contemporary fine-art photography. It offers profiles of photographers, in-depth interviews, photobook reviews, and general articles about photography and related issues.
Founder and editor Jörg M. Colberg began publishing Conscientious in 2002. American Photo included Colberg in their list of “Photography Innovators of 2006,” writing “a new generation of thought leaders has emerged to give photographers and photography fans new avenues of information.”
In addition to working on Conscientious, Colberg has contributed articles/essays to magazines and artist monographs (such as Hellen Van Meene’s Tout va disparaître). He has served on review panels and has reviewed portfolios at various locations.
Colberg is a professor of photography at Hartford Art School/University of Hartford.

BRIGHTON PHOTO BIENNIAL UK's largest photography festival opened this last weekend

Brighton Photo Biennial, the UK’s largest international photography festival, returns for its sixth edition. For BPB14, they break with the single curator model and instead are working in close partnership with a host of regional, national and international collaborators to develop a series of new projects on the theme of Communities, Collectives and Collaboration. BPB14 embraces novel perspectives and fresh approaches to generate commissions, new work and represent archive material.
Designed to inspire, challenge and celebrate the most democratic medium of our age, BPB14 takes place online and in public spaces, galleries and pop-up venues across Brighton & Hove and beyond, involving more than 45 photographers and collaborators all bound by a common approach.
Featuring re-discovered archives and premiering new commissions, BPB14 addresses the role of photography across genres and includes established and emerging talent, across communities and continents. Photography is explored as prints, projections, pixels and pages.
The core programme takes place throughout October and offers a packed schedule of workshops, talks, screenings and other events to complement the exhibitions, ensuring everyone – whatever their level of interest or expertise, can participate in BPB14.

Marks of Honour - revisited at The PhotoBookMuseum Cologne

 

The exhibition shows the inspiration a new generation of photographers has had from the history of photography in the form of books. The photo book is a source for artistic inspiration and creative reference, especially since Robert Frank published his Les Américains in 1958. Photography in books has not only influenced collectors and curators, but also generations of photographers.
54 international photographers were invited to choose a photo book, which was influential to the formation of their work, and to pay it artistically homage. All participating works contain the original photo book and its complementary ‘homage’. Besides the original works the exhibition consists of multimedia presentations, photographs and reproductions.

Marks of Honour is a library that references to the important historical influences in contemporary photography. It was initiated in 2005 by Markus Schaden (Schaden.com, Cologne) and Willem van Zoetendaal (Van Zoetendaal Gallery, Amsterdam). 2008 the project was continued by photographers Nina Poppe and Verena Loewenhaupt. There was a major exhibition at FOAM, Amsterdam and at several international exhibition spaces. A catalogue has been published by Schaden.com.

Paul Graham's book of Yellow is loaded with possibilities

 

Paul Graham’s new book – Does Yellow Run Forever? - arrived in my mail box today. It’s a small and perfectly formed edition, with the tactile feel almost of a hymn book or a volume of sacred texts. The book contains pictures of rainbows, Paul’s partner Senami asleep and sad gold / pawn shops in New York City. Graham describes the book as his little book of rainbows a diversion about love, illusion, wealth, dreams and finding happiness. This is a quiet and deceptively simple work, yet it’s loaded with metaphoric possibilities.The book is not so much about the photographs (Graham has the ability to take a cliché and give it meaning and resonance) but more about what they represent. Love is certainly central to the work, as is the truth of impermanence and the idea that the most unlikely of things coexist. 

The book is a testament to equanimity which surely is the ground for wisdom, freedom, compassion and love. 
There are many mysteries to unravel in this little book which makes it a pleasure to keep coming back to.

Paul Graham will be signing copies of Does Yellow Run Forever? at the New York Art Book Fair at 4pm this Saturday September 27. There will also be a signing at Paris Photo, November 13 - 16.

ARAM TANIS, master of the typological and more...

 

Aram TanIs - Binding Image

Aram TanIs - Binding Image, Oscar Pistorius

Dutch interdisciplinary artist Aram TanIs started his blog Binding Image in 2007. He has created a platform for a fascinating typological assembly of images from current events to everyday trends. TanIs finds images from facebook, newspapers, television, books and even advertisements. This is a crash course in looking at the everyday, the ignored and the obvious. It's both serious, funny and sometimes violent. TanIs's practice is a study of isolation, standardization and mass production and via Binding Image a strategy to confront readers with subjects they often pass by. 

Apart from Binding Image, Aram TanIs's art output is well worth a look.
His website HERE presents a series of his projects and bookworks. And you can go to Binding Image HERE.

PARIS PHOTO - 2014

 

With 143 galleries and 26 publishers / art book dealers Paris Photo 2014 promises, again, to live up to its reputation as the preeminent photography art fair.

Paris Photo this year will honor one single institution for its pioneering force for the promotion of the language of photography: The Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA). An exhibition of nearly 100 works by leading practioners of American photography including artists Walker Evans, Edward Weston, László Moholy-Nagy, William Klein, Geraldo de Barros, Susan Meiselas, Regina Silveira, Liliana Porter, Sarah Charlesworth, Lyle Ashton Harris, Mark Morrisroe, Oscar Munoz, Collier Schorr, and Lisa Oppenheim will be presented in the Salon d'Honneur, curated by Quentin Bajac and Sarah Meister. MoMA began collecting photography in 1930 and founded the first Department of Photography in 1940. Today it is one of most impressive and historic photographic collections in the world.

The Alkazi Collection of Photography, New Dehli, will present a selection of meticulously staged portraits, studio studies, painted portraits and other iconic samples from South Asia representing a meld of realistic documentation and artistic manipulation characteristic of popular Indian culture in visual practice at the turn of the 19th century. Over the past 30 years, Ebrahim Alkazi, one of India's most influential theatre directors and a prominent figure in the arts, has amassed a private collection of 19th- and 20th-century photographic prints amounting to over 90,000 images, housed today at the Alkazi Foundation for the Arts.

Continuing the narrative of the photobook, this year's Open Book exhibition is dedicated to artists books published between the 1960s and today with singular works by many of photography's most innovative protagonists, including Andy Warhol, Christian Boltanski, John Baldessari, Gilbert & George, and Hans-Peter Feldmann. This tradition is carried through the 1980s by contemporary artists and photographers such as Richard Prince, Sophie Calle, and Wolfgang Tillmans.

JH Engström at FOAM Amsterdam

 

Open now and running until December 10, FOAM museum Amsterdam presents the work of the Swedish photographer JH Engström in an exhibition titled Close Surrounding. Engström lives and works between Paris, France and his birthplace in Värmland, Sweden. The dynamic between the leisurely pace of country life and the high octane energy of the city is essential in Engström's life. This is reflected in the   authenticity of his photographs and in the exhibition at Foam. The books Engström has published are important element of the exhibition. JH Engström's photographs - which always reflect his engagement with his surroundings - reveal the loneliness and absurdity of the human condition. Engström uses his camera and its artistic possibilities to communicate in a meaningful and direct way with the viewer. He also shares his doubts about whether it is possible to truly understand what life is about. He explores various photographic genres such as the self-portrait, landscape, the snapshot and aerial photography. JH Engström's oeuvre is multi-faceted. He documents the ambience of the places he photographs, but at the same time his work can also be interpreted as a personal, visual 'stream of consciousness', a continuous flow of images that portray feelings, observations and memories of the photographer. Furthermore he 'plays' with one of the traditional characteristic of photography: depicting reality. In his photographs he emphasizes the fact that they are visual interpretations of that reality, by experimenting with technical imperfections such as overexposure, motion and dust. The edges of the negatives are sometimes visible in the printed photograph. The results vary from raw images to appealing photographs in pastel tints. Above all, the work of JH Engstrom can be interpreted as a restless and never-ending quest for answers to the question of what it is to be human. JH Engström was born in Karlstad, Värmland, in Sweden. When he was ten years old, he moved with his family to Paris - an immeasurably large city in comparison to his birthplace. When he was thirteen years old, the family moved back to the country, but since then he has constantly returned to Paris, the city to which he is devoted. He worked as an assistant to fashion photographer Mario Testino and the documentary photographer Anders Petersen. In 1997 he graduated from the Photography and Film Department of Gothenburg University. He developed his own unique style, which is characterised by a combination of raw and highly aesthetic images. Engström likes to present his work in books. To date, he has published twelve. He has received many prizes and nominations, including a shortlist nomination for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize (2005) and the Best Photobook of the Year Award (Arles, 2009).

Paul Graham, Does Yellow Run Forever? TIME LightBox talks to Mack about the project

 
LightBox: Your working relationship with Paul Graham dates back seven books and more than a decade to American Night. What draws you to his work?

Michael Mack: Paul’s practice involves a compelling use of straight photography documenting everyday moments to invoke significant notions. He uses the blank observational capacity of the medium to transform the banal and the mundane into work which is engaged with very human issues. I think that this is incredibly tough to do, especially with his lightness of touch which avoids the mawkish grandiloquence endemic to such concerns. And he constantly challenges us to explore what is possible in that process of translating his work and ideas into a book. If you look back, his career has involved an extraordinary collection of books. And this new book is once again wonderfully original – it is a tiny, gem-like object, intimate and personal, like a hand-made diary.

William Eggleston at Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson

William Eggleston, 1970 untitled

William Eggleston: From Black and White to Color which opened at Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson September 9 and runs until December 21st includes some exceptional and as yet unpublished photographs borrowed from the artist collection and various lenders. There is an opportunity to discover the evolution, the ruptures and above all the radicalness of Eggleston’s work when he began photographing in color at the end of the 1960s. There are similar obsessions and recurrent themes present in Eggleston's early black-and-white work including ceilings, food, and scenes of waiting, as well as unconventional croppings, all definitive traits of the photographer well known for his statement, I am at war with the obvious.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue, published by Steidl with text by Thomas Weski and an introduction by Agnès Sire. The exhibition will be held at musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne from January 30th to May 3rd 2015.
