Taylor & Francis Ltd Uncertain Images Museums and the Work of
Book SynopsisAlmost all museums hold photographs in their collections, and museum professionals and their audiences engage with photographs in a myriad of ways. Yet despite some three decades of critical museology and photographic theory, and an extensive debate on the politics of representation, outside art museums, almost no critical attention has been given specifically to the roles, purposes and lives of these photographs within museums. This book brings into focus the ubiquitous yet entirely unconsidered work that photographs are put to in museums. The authors'' argument is that there is an economy of photographs in museums which is integral to the processes of the museum, and integral to the understanding of museums. The international contributors, drawn from curators and academics, reflect a range of visual and museological expertise. After an introduction setting out the range of questions and problems, the first part addresses broad curatorial strategies and ways of thinking about phTrade Review’This most needed volume represents a highly inspiring investigation into the role of photography as object and tool of representation in museums and archives today. Through a comprehensive selection of contributions by an interdisciplinary variety of authors - all drawing on hands-on experience - this volume fills up a void in photography and cultural studies. It is a must-read for everyone working with the materiality and meaning of photography.’ Mette Sandbye, University of Copenhagen, Denmark ’We have been needing a book like this for a long time. Looking at what photographs do, and could do, in museums, it beautifully fills a gap that has for too long stayed open in the literature on museums, museum practice, representation and photographs. On these pages we see photographs as acts of remembrance, as haunting, as absent, as representational forms and as much more besides. And throughout, this essential new volume not only explores the work of photographs in museums, but also makes a significant contribution to far wider debates on the processes of representation.’ Sandra Dudley, University of Leicester, UKTable of ContentsList of Figures, Notes on Contributors, Acknowledgements, Introduction, The Affective Photograph, Curatorial Strategies 1: Working Images, Curatorial Strategies 2: Photographi Art Works, Curatorial Strategies 3: Contested Stories, Working In The Real World, Digital Environments and Photograph Collections, Index

Book SynopsisThe renowned designer’s views on dressing and behaving well: Ivy League meets street, sartorial rules are made and broken in this must-have style guide for traditionalists and hipsters alike, filled with Mark McNairy’s humorous, sometimes snarky, spot-on observations.Trade Review"McNairy prefers to focus his creative efforts on the intersection of new-wave streetwear and traditional menswear-a street crossing where, if it were a real place, McNairy would be mayor." (Review of McNairy's spring 2015 menswear show). -- Style.com "Mark is a rare gem that was found in the sediments of southern soil. He has incredible taste and tone-and he's a friend." -- Pharrell Williams "What makes Mark's vision work is that he is, at his core, classic. He understands the rules, protocol, and tradition. Then he turns it all on its ear. That, for me, is the hallmark of a genius." -- Nick Wooster "I've long admired Mark for his subversive take on preppy. He's one of the few designers who is able to mash up tradition with street references and conceptual ideas successfully." -- Andy Spade "...a quick, fun read for anyone wanting a no-B.S. look at men's style." -- John Zientek, Gear Patrol "one of the most authoritative, educational, and gut-splittingly funny books about the do's and don'ts of men's style...McNairy is pretty f-king brilliant!" -- Jeffrey Feiner, New York Journal of Books "Mark McNairy doesn't care what anyone thinks, and the menswear designer's devil-may-care attitude is encapsulated masterfully in his newest tome ... " -- -Zachary Weiss, New York Observer "F**k Ivy and Everything Else" is a cheeky guide to men's style filtered through a hip, crazy-quilt lens." -- Jacob Gallagher, Wall Street Journal "... a richly illustrated, easy-to-understand, straightforward style guide for the multi-tasking, attention-deficit-disorder crowd that doesn't take anything (including itself) too seriously and dispenses wardrobe wisdom the way an older brother...might." -- Adam Tschorn, Los Angeles Times "A masterclass in style...how to dress and act like a modern gentleman, illustrated... There's a lot to learn, which isn't surprising given McNairy's status as one of America's foremost menswear tastemakers." -- --Cillian O'Connor, Fashionbeans.com

Book SynopsisHorseshoe crabs are far from the only contemporary manifestation of Earth's distant past. This book leads readers on a journey through those lingering traces of a lost world.

That is the entirely pleasurable feeling a reader will have after traveling through The Smaller Majority. Among the spineless wonders captured in macrophotos are giraffe weevils, tiger beetles, ant lions, shovel-snouted lizards and even a ghost-crab, dancing.... Small is beautiful-and powerful, too." -Patti Hagan, Wall Street Journal "Relics is an exciting, adventure-filled, and scientifically important presentation by one of the world's best naturalists and photographers." -E. O. Wilson "This is more than a collection of excellent photographs and words-it is one person's private view of the small majority's world, one person's ardent, even passionate, attempt to help others get closer and understand the wildlife in miniature that surrounds us all. And his passion is infectious." -Richard Jones, BBC Wildlife"

University of Illinois Press Life along the Illinois River
Book SynopsisA panoramic odyssey down the Illinois RiverTrade Review"A work of love ... this is a book you'll continue to be drawn to, irresistibly."--IllinoisTimes "Countless American landscapes languish in the shadows of such cherished icons as Zion, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon, waiting patiently until someone like David Zalaznik comes along to search out their rhythms and beauties. The Illinois River is fortunate to have his attention, and we are the richer for what he has shown us."--Jim Richardson, photojournalist, National Geographic Society“David Zalaznik’s Life along the Illinois River artfully captures river life with an eye informed as much by the hallmarks of American painting as by the tenets of documentary photojournalism. His studies of abandoned civic buildings evoke the solemnity of an Edward Hopper painting, and his awe-inspiring glimpses of wildlife recall the ornithological studies of John James Audubon. The emblazoned skies and pastoral vistas found in landscape paintings of the Hudson River School reverberate throughout these breathtaking photographs. This collection epically depicts the coalescence of life and landscape in the Illinois River Valley, vividly creating a contemporary portrait of Mid-Americana.”--Bill Conger, artist and curator of University Galleries at Illinois State University“David Zalaznik’s photographs are nuanced, layered in tone as well as pictorial content. There is a richness to them, in the stories they tell and in their sensuous beauty. He has a clear eye, a sound vision, and a love for the river that is a source of life for the central Illinois valley. These lush photographs remind us of the river’s importance in our lives as a vital commercial link between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, a recreation site, a resource of drinking water and food, a nesting place for migrating birds, and a source of beauty, inspiration, and connection to our community’s past.”--Channy Lyons, author of Peoria Women Artists through 1970

Book SynopsisOpening Chicagoscapes propels the reader into the breathtaking grandeur and warm humanity of one of the world's great cities, a metropolis both lavish with its pleasures and as hard as weathered steel, a prairie-bound Oz that demands commitment from those seeking its truths. Larry Kanfer and native Chicagoan Alaina Kanfer have captured authentic moments that invite the viewer into pocket universes achieved in collaboration between an acclaimed photographic artist and the living world. From the deep blues of Lake Michigan to imposing winter cityscapes, from awe-inspiring skyscrapers to corner hot dog joints, and from the lakefront chess obsessives to Maxwell Street's indefatigable vendors, Larry Kanfer brings the mesmerizing sensibility acclaimed in his collections Prairiescapes and On Firm Ground to illuminate the subtleties of mood and forces of nature that make Chicago a city unlike any other.Trade ReviewPraise for previous books by Larry Kanfer: "Kanfer's atmospheric photographs evoke the quiet drama of Midwest prairies, the immensity of skies and cornfields, the poetry of changing seasons, moods, twilights, textures. . . . Poignantly, unexpectedly beautiful." --Publishers Weekly "Kanfer's gift is that he can endow the ordinary landscape . . . with an almost magical sense of beauty." --Judith Loy, Associated Press"Chicagoscapes is a love letter to what is magical and romantic about the Windy City. Kanfer has in these pages captured this beautiful city through atmospheric lighting, interesting angles, intriguing composition, and great timing. . . . Chicagoscapes is full of great moments in a great city."--Chicago Book Review"Larry Kanfer’s photographs capture the majesty of Chicago’s skyscrapers and the humanity of the city’s urban haunts. Larry’s artistic eye reinterprets our internationally acclaimed city into a wonderland of towering architectural forms and angles, illuminated dreamscapes of light caught in perfect moments."--David Chasco, Director, Illinois School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"Kanfer has conjured up images that are uniquely and distinctly American." --Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World

MIT Press Ltd Framework Houses The MIT Press
Book SynopsisA new edition of the first book by photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher, featuring framework houses of the Siegen region of Germany.Bernd and Hilla Becher have profoundly influenced the international photography world over the past several decades. Their unique genre, which falls somewhere between topological documentation and conceptual art, is in line with the aesthetics of such early-twentieth-century masters of German photography as Karl Blossfeldt, Germaine Krull, Albert Renger-Patzsch, and August Sander. Framework Houses, their first and most famous book, was originally published in Germany in 1977 and quickly went out of print. This new edition of that classic work takes advantage of reproduction and printing technologies not available in 1977. Most of the houses in the book were built between 1870 and 1914 in the Siegen region of Germany, one of the oldest iron-producing areas of Europe.

MIT Press On the Camera Arts and Consecutive Matters The Writings of Hollis Frampton Writing Art
Book SynopsisThe collected writings of artist and filmmaker Hollis Frampton, including all the essays from the long-unavailable Circles of Confusion along with rare additional material.As Hollis Frampton's photographs and celebrated experimental films were testing the boundaries of “the camera arts” in the 1960s and 1970s, his provocative and highly literate writings were attempting to establish an intellectually resonant form of discourse for these critically underexplored fields. It was a time when artists working in diverse disciplines were beginning to pick up cameras and produce films and videotapes, well before these practices were understood or embraced by institutions of contemporary art. This collection of Frampton's writings presents his critical essays (many written for Artforum and October) along with additional material, including lectures, correspondence, interviews, and production notes and scripts.
