Prestel In the Limelight: The Visual Ecstasy of NYC
Book SynopsisEichner was a fixture of 1990s New York City nightlife and served as both its official and unofficial photographer in an era before cellphones and selfies. In this book, readers go beyond the velvet ropes and into the spaces that witnessed some of the decade’s most incredible and sought-after parties. Previously unpublished, these intoxicating full-color photographs capture the over-the- top costumes, non-stop dancing, glitter, confetti, sex, drugs, and music that made 90s New York unlike any other place. Celebrities abound, from Leonardo DiCaprio, Dennis Hopper, and Tupac to Joan Rivers, Michael Musto, and Donald Trump. Eichner takes you to many of the city’s hot spots, including the Limelight, the Tunnel, Webster Hall, Club Expo, and Club USA. Texts by famous club owner Peter Gatien and BuzzFeed photo essay editor Gabriel H. Sanchez offer a historic and cultural perspective on an era when New York City was more affordable and every night saw artists, bankers, drag queens, musicians, and poets reveling together.

Rm La Verdadera Historia de Los Superhéroes (the
Book SynopsisLa Verdadera Historia de los Superheroes es una serie de retratos ambientales de las personas que desde los Estados Unidos - en particular en la ciduad de Nueva York - ayudan económicamente a sus comunidades en México y significan una importante fuerza económica en el desarrollo de ambos países. Esta serie consiste de 20 fotografías a color de inmigrantes mexicanos vestidos con los trajes de los superhéroes de la cultura pop norteamericana y los superhéroes de la cultura popular mexicana. Cada superheroe ha sido retratado en su ambiente laborla y la fotografía incluye un pequeño texto con su nombre, el de su comunidad en México, cuánto tiempo tiene trabajando en Nueva York y la cantidad de dinero que manda a México semanalmente. El principal objetivo de esta serie es homenajear al hombre ordinario que sin ningún poder super natural, logra que su comunidad sobreviva y progrese.In our thirst for Hollywood action heroes and caped crusaders, we sometimes overlook the everyday heroes in our midst. U.S.based Mexican photographer Dulce Pinzón (born 1974) pays homage to Mexican immigrant workers in New York, heroes who sacrifice extraordinary hours in extreme conditions for very low wages, all for the sake of families and communities in Mexico who rely on them to survive. The Mexican economy has quietly become dependent on the money sent from workers in the United States, while the U.S. economy has quietly become dependent on the labor of Mexican immigrants. These color photographs present these immigrants in their work environment, but dressed in the costumes of popular American and Mexican superheroes. Short texts present the worker's secret identity, their hometown and the amount of money they send to their families each week.

Promopress Vasco Szinetar: PHotoBolsillo
Book SynopsisThe new volume of the PHotoBolsillo collection focuses its gaze on the Venezuelan photographer Vasco Szinetar, whose career is strongly linked to the history of his country. His passion for culture has led him to portray writers and artists for 40 years, while continuing to develop into the most experimental profile of his work, where he conjures the past and death from an intimate and close experience. With family roots closely linked to Europe, Vasco Szinetar soon discovered his passion for culture in his native Venezuela, which led him in 1979 to become a photographer in the literary supplement of the newspaper El Nacional de Venezuela. Later he studied cinema in London, which allowed him to learn to organize images in order to build a certain syntax. Vasco Szinetar (Caracas, 1958), in addition to his career as a photographer, works as curator, and researcher at the Archivo de Fotografía Urbana de Caracas and publishes poetry and photography books, both his own and those of others.

RM Verlag SL A Little Louder
Book SynopsisThe photobook titled A little louder by Abdo Shanan on the protests in Algeria is the result of the I Premi Mediterrani Albert Camus Incipiens, organized by the Trobades & Premis Mediterranis Albert Camus of Menorca. This project whose strength of vision is combined with the universality of the revolts against injustice shows the absence of crowds, flags and banners, despite the ever-present determination of the protesters. From an estranged proximity, Abdo Shanan questions and documents in his own way the “hirak”, the peaceful protest movement that has shaken Algeria since February 22, 2019 and that continues with vigor despite the pandemic. The Premi Mediterrani Albert Camus Incipiens wants to highlight emerging trajectories in journalism that resonate with the ethics of the journalist that Albert Camus was.Among the 16 finalist proposals from nine different countries, which included text, photography and illustration, the proposal by the Algerian photographer Abdo Shanan, A Little Louder, struck the jury, made up of Mustapha Benfodil, Sophe Dufau and Juan Valbuena and who deliberated in September of 2020.

Leuven University Press Minor Aesthetics: The Photographic Work of Marcel
Book SynopsisNew perspectives on Belgian Surrealism and the photographic practices of Marcel Mariën. Marcel Mariën (1920–1993) was a key figure of Belgian post-war Surrealism. He is widely acknowledged for his landmark work on Belgian Surrealism and his collaboration with future Situationists like Guy-Ernest Debord in his journal ‘Les Lèvres nues’. Nevertheless, Mariën’s texts, collages, photographs, film, and (art?) objects have to date remained understudied. This is the first volume devoted to Mariën's photographic work. Through a series of close readings, Mieke Bleyen connects the collage and photographic practices of Mariën with his wider oeuvre, particularly with his archival and editorial activities. By applying Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's concept of the ‘minor’, this book proposes an alternative reading of Mariën’s anti-aesthetics and focuses on the affective range of his work. The figure of Mariën also serves as a case study that offers new perspectives on Belgian Surrealism's relation to mainstream Surrealism and the role of photography within Surrealism. This volume, moreover, raises a critique on ‘major’ art history's conception of time as linear progression and argues instead for twisted and extended temporalities in the case of Marcel Mariën. With previously unpublished images from Mariën's private archive. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Trade ReviewKU Leuven-;based scholar Mieke Bleyen succeeds in integrating several important achievements in 'Minor Aesthetics: The Photographic Work of Marcel Mariën'. Within the first study dedicated to the photographic practice of a prolific Belgian Surrealist (1920-;1993), she raises a number of pertinent questions, such as the importance of queer studies and feminist criticism for a better understanding of Surrealist visual arts.Additionally, as the title suggests, Bleyen develops a strong theoretical argument through the notion of minor literature, grounded in the writings of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, to unpack different pressing issues in the scholarship concerned with art history, including its problematic insistence on interpretation and linear progression. Bleyen combines rigorous archival research with a solid critical enquiry to put forward a rich and referential volume that can be engaged with as a valuable source of information and otherwise inaccessible visual material, as well as a welcome instance of a more inclusive approach to the work that is not easily fitted in the existing art historical categories.

Mieke Bleyen’s 'Minor Aesthetics: The Photographic Work of Marcel Mariën' is particularly helpful. She reads him in a Deleuzian vein as a ‘minor’ artist, spilling out and past the coherent subjectivities of the poet or the artist.'McKenzie Wark, Public Seminar, January 27, 2016Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Prologue Part 1 Towards a Minor Photography Minor Literature Deterritorialization Politicization Collectivization The people to come A canon of minor masters and other reflections on the minor Deleuze and Guattari’s Cartography of Art A Minor History of Art?
