Go Cowboys - Larissa Aharoni Revolver Publishing by VVV 2014 ISBN 9783868952803 Acqn 22724 Pb 30x20cm 64pp 17ills 21.95 GO COWBOYS presents a photographic journey through the history of executions, both public and private, from different time periods and relating to various cultural and political contexts. The book contains only authenticated pictures of executions that artist, Larissa Aharoni, researched and found on the internet. From the execution of German war criminals in Poland to the public lynchings of the southern United States, viewers are confronted with the horror of this allencompassing human subject matter. The viewer is thrust into the role of the voyeur as the unique binding style of this book requires an act of unfolding in order to reveal its darkness. GO COWBOYS takes as its starting point Bruce Nauman's quote, demanding that Art should be like getting hit in the face with a baseball bat. Due to its implicated cynicism regarding executions, the title for the book GO COWBOYS was inspired by the final statement of Jesse Joe Hernandez, who received lethal injection by the State of Texas on March 28, 2012 in Huntsville.

Peter Hujar - Love And Lust Fraenkel Gallery 2014 ISBN 9781881337379 Acqn 23291 Pb 28x36cm 82pp 36ills 32.50 Celebrated and revered by artists, the work of Peter Hujar remains something of a public secret, but his photographs dealing with sex and eroticism, made between the years 1969 and 1986, have come to define a certain era in New York. Today they are widely considered to be his finest and most radical work. Hujars view of the human body is uninhibited and uncompromising, but his poignant explorations of sexuality and desire also project a universal humanity; as Nan Goldin said of Hujars nudes, "Looking at his photographs of nude men, even of a naked baby boy, is the closest I ever came to experience what it is to inhabit male flesh." This monograph, published in conjunction with an exhibition at Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco, is the first to deal specifically with Hujars photographs of love and lust. Captured in deeply textured black and white, these photographs present a view of human relationships that encompasses both the tender and taboo. This volume also contains an interview with author Fran Lebowitz from 1989, and newly commissioned essays by Vince Aletti and Stephen Koch.

Brian Dailey - America In Color Osmos 2014 ISBN 9780988340473 Acqn 23333 Hb 31x36cm 300col ills 57 Over the course of a two-year period, photographer Brain Dailey traveled across the country with the objective of capturing individual portraits of the uncelebrated American electorate. From Jackson Square in downtown New Orleans to the open range in Texas, he organized impromptu photo shoots with more than 1,200 citizens, including those with no interest in politics or voting. In the portraits each individual expresses their personal identity casually in dress and pose, while their political identity is a chosen backdrop: blue for Democrat, red for Republican, grey for Independent, green for the Green Party and orange for those who dont vote. The resulting monograph, Brian Dailey: America in Color challenges our perceptions of the components and individual characters that shape the American political process.

Walking through the streets of different places and countries, Struth fixes his gaze on how architectural spaces inform us about the stances taken by their inhabitants to populate them. Decisions that create the structure and soul of cities. Images that represent a particular way of looking at what is around us.

Tim Hall - Above The Clouds Lecturis 2013 ISBN 9789462260160 Acqn 23549 Hb 31x29cm 108pp 85ills 70col 41.95 In this series of photographs, British photographer Tim Hall embraces the vast expanses and craggy landscapes of Austrias Arlberg mountains in an effort to convey the scale and majesty of the place, as well as the sense of liberation it evokes. All of the regions aspects are pictured, from ski slopes, chair lifts and white-covered mountain villages, to sublime peaks reaching above the clouds and the graceful greenery of the warmer seasons. His work sets humans before the enormity of nature, exploring the fragile relationship between that world and those who venture into it. Completing this sense of awe are passages from writers, artists and others, plus an essay by Anna Tyzack.

Another Happy Day Presentation House Gallery 2014 ISBN 9780920293898 Acqn 23324 Hb 17x22cm 96pp 73col ills 25 Another Happy Day is a compilation of anonymous, mostly black-and-white photographs found on eBay from the private collection of the Canadian artist, collector and writer Jonah Samson. Titled after a line from Samuel Becketts play Happy Days ("This is going to be a happy day! ANOTHER HAPPY DAY"), the book can be read as an ironical or darkly humorous take on happiness, as its vintage imagery traverses the melancholy, the obscured, the forlorn and the preposterous. Throughout, sepia scenes of mildly homoerotic posturing, slapstick play or gymnastic antics mix freely with mistier, more sober imagery of obliterated faces and what seem to be long-forgotten moments and places, strung together along a carefully orchestrated narrative flow. Intimate in its production and feel, this handsome clothbound volume offers a warm-hearted paean to photographic history and lifes perpetual brevity.

Brian Ulrich - Close Out VCU Arts 2014 ISBN 9780935519013 Acqn 23325 Pb 22x28cm 72pp 48ills 27col 14.50 Over the past four years, American photographer Brian Ulrich (born 1971) has collected found images and objects that offer an idiosyncratic history of postwar consumerism. Featured in this volume are images printed by Ulrich from long-buried newspaper negatives documenting the "Great Prosperity" of the 1940s and 50s that he acquired from private collectors on eBay. He explains: "Almost all of the pictures were taken with a Speed Graphic press camera equipped with flash bulbs, which produces a very specific and, in my opinion, wonderful photographic language that goes well beyond our understanding of Weegees street photographs, for instance." An extensive cache of salvaged Polaroids depicting shoplifters evokes one consequence of the "Great Regression" of the 1980s and 90s, reinforcing just how successfully the previous era manufactured and exalted desire as the indelible core of a consumer culture. Objects such as neon signage, department store door pulls, architectural plans and an array of other documents extend this captivating narrative.

How To Be A Photographer In Four Lessons Andre Frere Editions 2014 ISBN 9791092265125 Acqn 23523 Pb 17x22cm 48pp 80ills 3col 21.95 In this small, tongue-in-cheek booklet, Thomas Vanden Driessche outlines how to be a number of photographer types in four simple steps. Using humorous stereotypes, photo booth self-portraits and no little amount of self-depreciation, he enlightens the curious layperson who seeks to become, for instance, a contemporary photographer, war photographer, conceptual or surrealist photographer, wildlife photographer or modern photojournalist, and even goes so far as to include a (bad) amateur, wedding, kitsch, crowdfunded or emerging photographers. Steps toward becoming a photographer aligned with either the Helsinki or Dsseldorf school are an added bonus.

Jan Hendrikse Kaleidoscopia Lecturis 2014 ISBN 9789462260528 Acqn 23551 Hb 16x21cm 48pp 29ills 27col 21 In 1959 Jan Henderikse distanced himself from traditional, academic materials, such as pigments and paint on canvas. What followed were assemblages made of corks and packaging material, unadulterated kitsch, licence plates on brightly coloured panels and photos from the rubbish skips of photo laboratories. The assemblages of corks and coins, but also the photographic works with rejects are expressions of an intensive and long-standing relationship with the material. Thus, choice is not an impulsive deed or casual act for Henderikse. His work raises questions about what constitutes art, how we recognize it as such, and who actually decides these things; it forces us to consider the complex relationship between aesthetic value, functional value, and exchange value.

Building The Rotterdam - Building Rem Koolhass Vertical City Day By Day. Photos By Ruud Sies Lecturis 2014 ISBN 9789462260269 Acqn 23557 Hb 24x34cm 238pp 200ills 120col 52.50 De Rotterdam is a unique multifunctional building on the banks of the river De Maas. Covering an area of 160,000 m2 it is a new masterpiece in the oeuvre of architect Rem Koolhaas and his firm OMA and an absolute eye-catcher in Rotterdam. Because of the many functions it can truly be called a 'vertical city'. Photographer Ruud Sies followed the building of the Rotterdam from 2009, when the first shovel went into the ground, until the completion in 2013. The building and construction show the creativity and commitment of many people, revealing a vision for urban life in the 21st century and advances in technology. The book puts Ruud Sies in the footsteps of Lewis Hine, who captured the building of the Empire State Building in New York and also in those of Cas Oorthuys and his book Rotterdam dynamic town (1959).

Michael Kerstgens - Coal Not Dole Peperoni Books 2014 ISBN 9783941825611 Acqn 23563 Hb 23x21cm 132pp 71ills 14col 33.75 In 1984, the young German photographer Michael Kerstgens went to document the miners strike in the United Kingdom. Although people were at first wary of this outsider, he eventually found an opportunity to get inside the action and behind the scenes, photographing soup kitchens, secret meetings and the newly politically active miners wives. The pride and courage of the workers is captured in the images Kerstgens made, along with their despair and exhaustion following defeat. The last significant labour strike in the UK, it marked the end of an era, and forever transformed the country. The book also includes new images by Kerstgens that record the changes, 30 years later.

Taku Aramasa Annely Juda Fine Art 2014 ISBN 9781904621577 Acqn 23628 Pb 25x22cm 30pp 15ills 12col 18.75 The Border series consist of multiple images taken with the position and optical axis of the camera being shifted sideways between each shot. This is different from the way in which panoramic views are taken from a single position, and produces a more enveloping effect with enhanced spacial and tem- poral depth. The Visible Transfiguration series are more performative in conception. Aramasa manipulates close-up images of plant forms by blurring light with dark, and shadow with reflection. Most interesting is the way in which Aramasa has been using OROgraphy, a special method of printing he has recently developed, to alter the appearance of his works and give them added depth. What Aramasa does is to scan a negative, to create a digital image, which he prints onto clear film with an inkjet printer. Having done this, he applies gold leaf of the sort used by traditional Japanese craftsmen to the back of the film. The gold backing adds depth to the image, intensifies the effects of shading, and causes the foreground and background to merge into one another.

Exit 52 - On The Edge Olivares & Associates 2014 no ISBN Acqn 23648 Pb 21x26cm 168pp 139ills 114col 32 What are the limits of photography? This issue examines the topic by traveling to the most remote places one can reach and exploring their relation to the production of images, seeing just how far photography and photographers can go today. It is the eye that defines the limits, that increasingly deepens and expands the possibility of forging ahead, of conquering. Although the world grows increasingly smaller, it is still the solitary individual who reaches the most inaccessible landscapes and frontiers, documenting these limits and making them reality. With contributions by Chrystel Lebas, Thomas Joshua Cooper, Gerco de Ruijter, Luisa Zanzani, Cline Clanet and many more.

JH Engstrom - Ende Und Anfang Early Trips Andre Frere Editions 2014 ISBN 9791092265088 Acqn 23521 Hb 20x25cm 128pp 78ills 44col 45 In the late 1990s, Swedish photographer JH Engstrm travelled across Europe and the United States with his camera in hand. The series of colour and black-and-white images in this book shows but fragments of what was apparently an impressionable time for him: snippets of everyday life, urban scenes and portraits, and brief glimpses into the lives of the various people he encountered along the way. Highway rest stops, diners, construction cranes, pool halls, railways, domestic scenes and abandoned buildings are just some of the many settings in which the human aspect is always sought out and honestly perceived through Engstrms inquisitive lens.

Antoine D'Agata Paraiso Andre Frere Editions 2014 ISBN 9791092265149 Acqn 23524 Pb 16x23cm 34pp 45ills 43col 25 Sordid, grimey and unapologetic, this is the photographic diary kept by controversial photographer Antoine dAgata during the 2012 International Festival of Photography in Valparaso, Chile. As usual, he spends his time there immersed in a world of drugs and prostitution in order to narrate the dark underworld of urban life first-hand. Tales of a past relationship with a woman in Phnom Penh are interwoven with the present moment, snippets of email correspondence and streams of consciousness that border on nonsensical musings, while flashbulb images of drug use and sex interject to create a schizophrenic roller coaster repulsive and strangely fascinating.

The raw French photographer sought out migrants in Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia in order to experience, document and understand the often harsh reality of their journeys. In a desperate quest to reach a better life in Europe, many migrants inhabit deteriorating urban landscapes, endure detention centres and slip past ports and borders undetected, fully aware of the danger and illegality of their situation, and nameless to the world. Includes striking photos and images from videos, statistical data and texts by Bruno Le Dantec and Rafael Garido.
