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.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DAVID LEVINTHAL: Barbie!
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DAVID LEVINTHAL: Barbie! February 28 – April 11, 2009 Reception: Saturday, February 28, 5-7pm Artist Talk: Friday, March 6th at 11am In honor of the iconic doll’s 50th birthday, GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY presents Barbie!, an exhibition of large-format Polaroids by acclaimed photographer David Levinthal. The subjects of these photographs are not toys but rather representations of popular culture, as Levinthal seeks to explore the subliminal effects of the Barbie doll image on the American collective subconscious. A familiar and often polarizing image, the Barbie doll has served as a figure of the idealized female form and the quintessence of glamour as well as a taboo symbol of the oppressive currents in society that have affected generations of American youths. Mattel first manufactured Barbie fifty years ago after the conclusion of World War II, a time when couture houses boomed in France after the ending of wartime restrictions. The Barbie dolls in the photographs featured in this exhibition lack the populist sentiments that later models displayed, instead reflecting a microcosm of mid-century American life inhabited by predominantly white, upper-middle class women. A far subtler series than others in Levinthal’s oeuvre, these unbiased society portraits allow viewers to form their own interpretations of the impact of Barbie’s image on American popular culture. Appropriately, the exhibition is located on Fifth Avenue mere blocks away from both Bergdorf Goodman and F.A.O. Schwartz, titans of haute couture and children’s luxury items, in one of Manhattan’s most highly trafficked shopping areas. Couched in the style of early high fashion photographers such as Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, these dolls showcase the height of post-war fashion from 1959 to the early 1970s.

  • Visiting the Upper Geyser Basin (Old Faithful Geyser)
    ® Visiting the Upper Geyser Basin (Old Faithful Geyser) The Old Faithful Area (Upper Geyser Basin) is one of the most popular and crowded areas in the Summer. Start off with a visit to the new visitor’s center. Tour the center, but most importantly check the information desk for the estimated eruption times of pop - ular geysers in the basin. (Note that they are estimated times... so plan accordingly). Beat the crowds by starting early in the morning before those who did not sleep in the area arrive. Walk around the geyser basin and witness numerous well-known features; Old Faithful, Beehive, Castle, Grotto, Riverside & Morning Glory Pool to name a few. The cool morning air temperature intensifies the steam making the basin more magical. By mid-morning the Summer crowds get larger as the day goes until sunset. (When the area gets congested... head to the hills!, and take the hikes in the back country.) You’ll never get to see all the geysers erupt and will have to pick and chose those you want to invest with your time and how long younger family members can hold out. Prep your walk with a bathroom break and pack bottled beverages. Touring the basin takes time and before you know it you have walked a few miles. (For those in need there is a no frills bathroom near Morning Glory Pool.) Upper Geyser Basin Sites of Interest: 1. Walk through the new Visitor’s Center (opened in the Summer of 2011) 2. Tour the Upper Geyser Basin Boardwalk Upper Geyser Basin is the best place in Yellowstone to see geysers erupt.

  • Mean Streets: Death and Disfiguration in Hawks's Scarface
    Mean Streets: Death and Disfiguration in Hawks's Scarface ASBJØRN GRØNSTAD Consider this paradox: in Howard Hawks' Scarface, The Shame of the Nation, violence is virtually all-encompassing, yet it is a film from an era before American movies really got violent. There are no graphic close-ups of bullet wounds or slow-motion dissection of agonized faces and bodies, only a series of abrupt, almost perfunctory liquidations seemingly devoid of the heat and passion that characterize the deaths of the spastic Lyle Gotch in The Wild Bunch or the anguished Mr. Orange, slowly bleeding to death, in Reservoir Dogs. Nonetheless, as Bernie Cook correctly points out, Scarface is the most violent of all the gangster films of the eatly 1930s cycle (1999: 545).' Hawks's camera desists from examining the anatomy of the punctured flesh and the extended convulsions of corporeality in transition. The film's approach, conforming to the period style of ptc-Bonnie and Clyde depictions of violence, is understated, euphemistic, in its attention to the particulars of what Mark Ledbetter sees as "narrative scarring" (1996: x). It would not be illegitimate to describe the form of violence in Scarface as discreet, were it not for the fact that appraisals of the aesthetics of violence are primarily a question of kinds, and not degrees. In Hawks's film, as we shall see, violence orchestrates the deep structure of the narrative logic, yielding an hysterical form of plotting that hovers between the impulse toward self- effacement and the desire to advance an ethics of emasculation. Scarface is a film in which violence completely takes over the narrative, becoming both its vehicle and its determination.

  • NPG Glamour of the Gods Talk: Ruth Harriet Louise to Eve Arnold The
    NPG Glamour of the Gods Talk: Ruth Harriet Louise to Eve Arnold The story of Hollywood is fascinating. In 1905 Sunset Boulevard was just a dirt track road. Today it is a seventeen mile main road that runs through Los Angeles. By 1910 a community of film companies were emerging and by 1914 Adolph Zukor‘s Famous Players merged with the Lasky Company and it was not long before Paramount Pictures was created and a vertically controlled film industry evolved. Right from the beginning stars were an important ingredient to promote films. One of the earliest stars is Theda Bara who appeared in Cleopatra, Carmen and Salome but most of these films have vanished. However, the popularity of the comedians and in particular Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy have survived. Their films are continuously screened worldwide in a variety of formats. The sex Goddesses also seem to hold up reasonably well and in particular Gloria Swanson and Pola Negri. The iconic face of Louise Brooks remains popular too. Stills were used to promote films in newspapers and magazines and used as art work for the poster design. Stills were also used to promote the film in campaign books and sales catalogues to entice exhibitors. One of the first stills men to arrive was Clarence Sinclair Bull who came to Hollywood in 1917. Another of the pioneers was Harry Waxman a successful New York photographer who set up a studio in Los Angeles and began to photograph many of the Hollywood stars including Gloria Swanson and Pola Negri. Waxman focused on the personality of the star as seen in Waxman’s 1926 portrait of Evelyn Brett.
