Abstract The aim of my research is to demonstrate how a practice of hand made books based on the materiality of the photographic print and photo-reprography, could engage with notions of touch in the digital age. We take for granted that most artists’ books are made from paper using lithography and bound in the codex form, yet this technology has served neither producer nor reader well. As Hayles (2002:22) observed: We are not generally accustomed to thinking about the book as a material metaphor, but in fact it is an artifact whose physical properties and historical usage structure our interactions with it in ways obvious and subtle.

  • Alec Soth's Journey: Materiality and Time Emily Elizabeth Greer
    Alec Soth’s Journey: Materiality and Time Emily Elizabeth Greer Introduction The photographer Alec Soth is known for series of images and publications that encapsulate his travels through time and place within the American landscape. Each grouping of photographs uses a specific medium and geographical orientation in order to explore unique journeys and themes, such as the loneliness and banality of strangers in a public park, religion and debauchery in the Mississippi Delta, and the isolation of hermits in the valleys of rural Montana. Yet how are we to understand the place of these smaller journeys within Soth’s larger artistic career? How are these publications and series connected to one another, and how do they evolve and change? Here, I will consider these questions as they relate to the specific materials within Soth’s work. Using material properties as a framework illuminates the way in which each series illustrates these specific themes, and also how each grouping of images holds a significant place within the artist’s larger photographic oeuvre. Throughout Alec Soth’s career, his movement between mediums has evolved in a manner that mirrors the progression of themes and subject matter within his larger body of work as a whole. From his earliest photographic forays in black and white film to his most recent digital video projects, Soth creates images that depict a meandering passage through time and place.1 His portraits, still lifes, and landscapes work together to suggest what one might call a stream of conscious wandering. The chronological progression of materiality in his works, from early black and white photography to large format 8x10 color images to more recent explorations in digital photography and film, illuminates the way in which each medium is used to tell a story of temporality and loneliness within the American landscape.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

  • Press Release
    49 Geary Street, 4th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94108 t: 415 981 2661 f: 415 981 4041 fraenkelgallery.com For immediate release: 5 February – 4 April 2015 fraenkel gallery is pleased to announce our first solo exhibition of the work of Alec Soth. On view from February 5 – April 4, 2015, Alec Soth: Songbook will feature approximately 20 new and never-before-seen photographs. The artist will be present for the exhibition opening and signing of his new publication, Songbook, on Thursday, February 5, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Celebrated for his haunting and influential portraits and landscapes in such acclaimed books asSleeping by the Mississippi, Broken Manual, and NIAGARA, Alec Soth has recently turned his lens toward community life in the country. From 2012 to 2014 Soth traveled the United States looking for signs of social life in our era of virtual social networks. To aid in his search, Soth assumed the increasingly obsolescent role of community newspaper reporter. From upstate New York to Silicon Valley, he attended hundreds of meetings, dances, festivals and family gatherings. With Songbook, Soth has stripped these pictures of their news context in order to highlight the longing for connection at their root. Fragmentary, funny, and sad, Songbook is a lyrical depiction of the tension between American individualism and the ongoing desire to be united. Alec Soth (b. 1969) is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His work has been presented at numerous museums, including solo exhibitions at the Jeu de Paume, Paris; Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Among his many publications are Dog Days, Bogotá; The Last Days of W; Fashion Magazine; and the LBM Dispatch series, with writer Brad Zellar.

  • Carroll, Eric William. “I Struggle When I Know the Words to a Place by Heart,” the Design Observer, May 19, 2014
    Carroll, Eric William. “I struggle when I know the words to a place by heart,” The Design Observer, May 19, 2014. Photographs from the irregular newspaper LBM Dispatch Howard in the asparagus patch of a community garden. Detroit. [Photo by Alec Soth, from LBM Dispatch #3: Michigan] Ten years ago, photographer Alec Soth established himself as a master of the 8x10 format in his series Sleeping by the Mississippi; these days he’s known for posting “unselfies” on Instagram. Where others might see creative regression, I see an artist determined to find an effective use for photography in an era when, as Soth says, “a document is being made of just about everything all of the time.” Lately Soth has been issuing “Dispatches” in the form of an irregular newspaper created with writer (and fellow Minnesotan) Brad Zellar. Together, they take road trips to distant states and report the stories of the people and the land. The partners work on their own deadline and produce a self-published broadsheet shortly after they return. The papers are simple — black and white, flash-lit photographs of people and landscapes, presented with titles and often with a brief text. Under the title, Jack. Downtown Dallas. 50th Anniversary of the J.F.K. assassination, we see a boy wearing a fedora and raincoat in front of a nondescript wall, avoiding eye contact with the photographer. We learn that he was named after Jack Kennedy, and that his parents have taken him out of school to attend the memorial. In another photograph, titled 88-year-old Bil (“My mother said she couldn’t pronounce the other L”).

    The Dark Highway Paul Wenham-Clarke Curated by Aaron Schuman Supporting essay by Paul Allen THE ARTIST'S SPACE “I started out as a commercial photographer working for corporate clients such as British Telecom, Hitachi and Hoover, and was one of the first practitioners to embrace the opportunities and potential of digital technologies. This activity generally involved me in being creative in response to the demands of others and producing short-lived outcomes with no social impact beyond generating sales. Throughout this time I was shooting small personal projects about other people’s lives, from documenting the last employees in a bus station before it was knocked down to make way for a shopping mall, to recording the fading charm of Weymouth’s seafront. The shift was realising that I wanted to undertake a more substantial piece of work about a subject of social importance; the result was When Lives Collide. Subsequent projects continued to explore ideas about the road that ultimately led to an aspect of it that was concerned with how I felt about the subject matter rather than it being documentary research. Sacrifice the Birdsong came from a compulsion to explore a lifelong interest in wildlife and mourn its loss on our roads through images that engage the public rather than the art community alone. The Dark Highway is a summary of these works and a record of my changing working processes.” Paul Wenham-Clarke, 2014 Megan on a cold minus 5 degree morning, from The Westway 3 STYLES, STRATEGIES AND SUBJECTS CURATOR'S VIEWPOINT n one sense, The Dark Highway is a somewhat misleading title, in that it implies that the photographic works included in this exhibition are situated in the middle Iof a road, albeit an ominous and metaphoric one.

  • Hyperallergic Contemporary Photographers Remix Modern Masters by Chloe Pantazi on November 12, 2012
    http://hyperallergic.com/60166/contemporary-photographers-remix-modern-masters/ Hyperallergic Contemporary Photographers Remix Modern Masters by Chloe Pantazi on November 12, 2012 “Aperture Remix,” installation view (all images courtesy the Aperture Foundation) The Aperture Foundation, created in 1952, did much to alter photography’s reputation at a time when it was not yet considered art. Sixty years later, for the current anniversary exhibition, Aperture Remix, the foundation commissioned ten photographers — Rinko Kawauchi, Vik Muniz, Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs, Martin Parr, Doug Rickard, Viviane Sassen, Alec Soth, Penelope Umbrico, and James Welling — to revisit and respond to one of its publications, an issue of Aperture magazine or a photography book, that inspired their own work. Exhibited alongside the earlier pieces, the new works, which aren’t limited to photography but also include film and sculpture, raise questions about the nature of beauty and place that are as pertinent as those elicited by the works they pay homage to, drawing on these themes in current, culturally relevant ways. The masters of photography — Edward Weston, Paul Strand, and Robert Adams, among others — have spoken to these contemporary photographers, and now the younger generation is talking back, in terms we can all understand. Penelope Umbrico’s “Moving Mountains,” a magnificent tableau of eighty-seven photographs of mountains responding to those in Aperture’s Masters of Photography series, were taken on her iPhone and manipulated using apps. In an age when anyone can take pictures with her iPhone and, within seconds, upload them to a myriad of virtual galleries, “Mountains” represents a return to nature mediated through technology.

  • The Wandering Spirit
    Photo Booth The Wandering Spirit By Rodrigo Canedo Gattegno December 16, 2013 1 / 14 USA. Denver, Colorado. 2013. The photographer Alec Soth and the writer Brad Zellar have undertaken a long-term project, born out of simple pleasure, that captures both the humanity and banality of the American continent. Their self-described “North American ramblings” are presented in an irregularly published newspaper titled The LBM Dispatch, which recalls the documentary-style photography of days long gone. Soth describes it as “being in the style of both newspaper journalism and the Walker Evans/James Agee approach in ‘Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.’ ” The project began with Soth asking Zellar to indulge him with an imaginary newspaper assignment for his birthday. They ended up covering a story about a stray cat living under a suburban freeway interchange. “Freed from the conventions of working for a real paper, Brad and I were able to get at the poignancy behind the somewhat trivial story,” Soth told me. Exhilarated by working on their own, the friends made their adventure into a more serious undertaking. After they published projects documenting Ohio, Michigan, and upstate New York, they foresaw a more Western future. Last summer, they traveled throughout Colorado for a few weeks, meeting hundreds of people and detailing the trivial, riveting moments of their lives. The images bring us face to face with the treasures (and terrors) of the eeting moment. The photographs document more than the place where they were taken; together, they form a study of the North American soul and the wandering spirit.
