Bom Dia Boa Tarde Boa Noite Gimene Family
Book SynopsisElaborated from an eponymous exhibition held at the Latvian National Museum of Art in 2020,Familyexamines the visual, autobiographical, and theoretical strands that inform Eriks Apalais' practice, featuring texts on his work by the curator Katerina Gregos and Latvian art critic Santa Hirša.Apalais draws from fields as diverse as psychoanalysis, literary theory, psycholinguistics, structural linguistics, and semiotics to pose pointed picture-form questions about the nature of memory, language, representation, and the self. Linked to these inquiries are the uncanny childhood experiences that seem to permeate his work.As Gregos notes the strength of his work lies in his power of allusion, of understatement and enigma.The effect achieved is liberating, lending audiences a fresh pair of eyes with which to examine a variety of experiences.

Roshin Books Untitled
Book SynopsisRoshin Book's seventh publication focuses on Japanese photographer Shin Yanagisawa (1936-2008), whose photography was highly regarded by contemporaries such as Daido Moriyama and Ryuichi Kaneko. From 1963 on, after having recovered from an illness, Yanagisawa focused on photographing a variety of places throughout Japan. It was Yanagisawa's philosophy to create photos that require no further commentary, that already say and contain everything there is to convey. Yanagisawa held only four exhibitions in his lifetime and published only three photobooks. He chose to focus on his work at his own pace, ignoring trends in contemporary photography. In the 1970s, this work ethic has even led him to decline a request by Shoji Yamagishi, editor at the influential Camera Mainichi magazine, to publish new work. Shin Yanagisawa - Untitled?collects photography shot throughout Japan between the years 1965 and 1992 and includes a short essay by Naomi Yanagimoto in Japanese and English

Shanghai Culture Publishing House Closing Ceremony Issue 2
Book SynopsisThe second issue of Closing Ceremony Magazine is about Americano. In this issue, Instead of taking the American Photography History as the editing orientation, we attempt to continue our Not-Too-Serious narrative, and present the observation of contemporary America and American Photography in a relatively relaxing context. Centering American Spirit, we invited more than 10 U. S. based photographers, expanding this issue into topics such as gender, politics, class and consumption. By re-constructing and visualizing the minor details of the daily life, setting them in a bright and clear lighting, these photographers create a new order, in which the realness and fiction is hard to distinguish. And through the images, their voices can be heard among the chaos which America is going through. Either the images about tourists lost in the bottom of Trump Tower, or the images of white middle-class men cooking healthy food in a mansion located in L. A. , a series of images are created by th

Mousse Publishing The Strangeness of Beauty
Book SynopsisWhat happens when delusion and reality merge in some unthinkable combination? What is our reaction to such occurrences? When and how does thoughtful reflection replace the initial shock? What role does time play in the process? What do we learn from such incidences? The Strangeness of Beauty project was inspired by Ligeia, an engaging short story by Edgar Allan Poe, in which the Romantic writer and poet explores the interconnected aesthetic of strangeness in beauty. The variety of thoughtful contributions to the project by artists, the wider art community, and Ziba Ardalan in her introductory texts, suggest that such sensitivities are an inherent part of humanity. Presented in 2021 as a digital magazine in twelve themed weekly issues, The Strangeness of Beauty was, after O Sole Mio, the second digital project curated by Ziba Ardalan during the repeated lockdowns of the Covid-19 pandemic. In it, contemporary artists and other art professionals consider the concept of beauty in art and in their own practice, how it appears in so many ways, and how it is usually the intriguing element of strangeness that makes the experience of true interest and value. Thus, parallels are drawn with the unprecedented challenges faced by humanity during the pandemic. Edited by Ziba ArdalanContributions by Maria Thereza Alves, Carla Arocha, Aline Asmar d'Amman, Heather Bause Rubinstein, Oliver Beer, Luca Berta, Aaron Cezar, Richard Deacon, Jimmie Durham, Cecilia Edefalk, Carlos Garaicoa, Francesca Giubilei, Thomas Hirschhorn, Katy Moran, Si On, Sam Samiee, Stéphane Schraenen, Rayyane Tabet, Jakub Julian Zió?kowski

AGENDA magazine AGENDA Magazine
Book SynopsisAGENDA is a capsule of thoughts and feelings of the moment each issue is created in a co-curation together with each artist contributing to the publication. In the third in a series of sporadical issues the drama of the everyday unfolds. The home is our stage. The curtains framing our arena are not of draped red velvet but of handed-down sun-bleached cotton, heavy with memories. Here our lives swing from comedy to tragedy via prosaic day-to-day. Emotion and intrigue take place against a backdrop of Tinder swipes and brushing teeth. In our theatre there is work to do and dishes to wash. Warm hands to hold and stories to hear. Skin to taste and love to make. Tears to cry and fights to fight. A home to make, and its rent to pay In the play of our extraordinary life, where we're the main character and friends and lovers make cameos, it is the ordinary moments together that become most important; the duvet tugs, the comfort tv, the sleepy hugs and the midnight teas.
