💥 Currently on display in Denmark: the exhibition ‘Not Bliss But Relief’ as part of Photobook week Aarhus. Including the work ‘Today, too, I experienced something I hope to understand in a few days’ by @sannevandenelzen , and ’Noir’ by @martine.stig
‘Not Bliss But Relief’ Is curated by @tuminasdaria and brings together publications produced in the last decade by women artists that explore the interconnections between the photobook medium, motion, and (cinematic) montage. The artists search for ways to represent movement — from a dance to the passage of time. Some of them adopt and transform filmic visual language or use video stills, working with the tension that the moving image can create when placed in the still and fixed form of a book. GALLERI IMAGE, Denmark, 14-17 October 2021✨✨

✨✨ We proudly present the new book by Raimond

✨✨ We proudly present the new book by Raimond Wouda: 'Polder VIII’, about 100 years of Tuindorp Oostzaan, Amsterdam. ‘Polder VIII’ covers 30 years of work by Raimond Wouda, in combination with the use of photographs from institutional and personal archives from inhabitants of Tuindorp Oostzaan.

The exhibition is currently on display at @stadsarchief
💫🪐💫
Tuindorp Oostzaan was the first real garden village in Amsterdam, intended to offer working-class families light, air and space and a decent accommodation. Each family has its own front door and a garden at the front and back. Located near the shipyards, but far from the city center. The village grew and the world changed. The Vegabuurt was added and in the 1950s Tutti-Fruttidorp and Tuindorp Oostzaan-West. New residents moved to Noord, thousands of people worked on the yards. Now heavy industry has disappeared, North is trending and the houses are popular with young city dwellers.

✨✨ Very happy with this new title: OUTS ✨✨made in close collaboration with @skylarkeditions

For this publication, 70 artists were asked to provide a photograph which didn’t fit into any of their projects, their OUT, but remained compelling for them nonetheless. Using the 1978 text “Brief Notes on the Art and Manner of Arranging One’s Books” by George Perec, we embraced the challenge of sequencing these 70 disparate images resulting in a unique object. The images included in OUTS create new relationship pairings that are printed using gold ink on black paper, an ode to honoring these outliers.

Every {edit} answers a twofold need, which is often also a twofold obsession: that of conserving certain objects ({photographs}) and that of organizing them in certain ways.- George Perec ✨✨

When I first went to Adak in July of 2015 I didn’t know what I would find. But for six years I’d been dreaming about making pictures amongst the ruin of the abandoned WW2 and Cold War outpost in the middle of the Aleutian Chain. I did have a feeling, however, for the tone I trying to create, and as the pictures took form I could see clearly the book and exhibition that could be a result of the work.

Now, after several covid related setbacks I’m on the verge of seeing Atomic Island born as a book with @hans.gremmen and @fw.books and a November exhibition @alaskastatemuseum.

The world is a mess right now, and I’m immensely grateful to be able to see this work through.

Thank you if you’ve already pre-orders a copy of the book, or otherwise supported the work. I’m sincerely grateful.

If you’re interested in receiving one of the first copies of Atomic Island - now is the time. Your order now will help us get the book to press this month. These pre-orders will be the only copies to come with a small signed print. Books are available via my bio. Also, Juneau folk note there is a ‘studio pickup’ option to avoid shipping.

"This is a book the viewer needs to let wash over themselves in order to fully appreciate. It’s a book that rewards patience. It’s a book that will make the viewer want to re-examine the places walked past and the things passed by on a daily basis.

'Soft Copy Hard Copy Enter Enter' - the zine! - by Stephan Keppel and published by @fw.books
—
Produced for a recent exhibition at Enter Enter - a space for books - Stephan Keppel has translated his book into physical objects for the project space, producing installations based on the pages of the book and investigating the relationship between the book and the installation space as a form of representation and re-creation. These spatial installations are —for this zine— translated back onto paper in a layered collage-like registration, blending all parts of the proces into a new object.
—
Simply yet perfectly produced, the 20 page publication is housed in a folded sheet, and a total bargain at only £9. Over in the N.E.W-I.N section on the website and on the shelves from Weds.

💥 "With so many archives being unearthed and rediscovered these days, it can be hard to get freshly excited about yet another group of t (or family) photos from some obscure locale, and optimistic nostalgia often clouds our judgement of just how good the photographs actually are. But Encampment, Wyoming is an outlier – few photobooks of historical material that I have seen recently have felt as powerful and well made as this one.” — Loring Knoblauch on Collector Daily about 'Encampment Wyoming' 💥 @nicolejeanhill @lorawebbnichols @hans.gremmen

✨✨New Book ✨✨
‘This Creaking Floor and All the Ceilings Below’ by @bart.lunenburg and texts made in collaboration with @taco.hidde ▫️▪️▫️▪️
Where does a book begin and a building end? ‘This Creaking Floor and All the Ceilings Below’ brings together many different facets from the artistic practice of Bart Lunenburg, and his explorations in the built world. Including reproductions of photographs, drawings, scale models, installations, film stills and exhibition views, this labyrinthine book is conceived as an imaginary building. The viewer-visitor is guided along foundations, corridors, rooms brimming with sunlight, radiant windows, concealed doors, enfilades, winding staircases, banisters, and a woven wall. The eyes of the artist fuse with the eyes of the built world, offering fresh reflections on what it means to dwell, remember and dream among the basic elements of architecture through which we daily travel.

⚪️⚫️ ‘There are many pictures of ordinary life, unremarkable moments made remarkable through pictures. All of this is seen through the eyes of an incredibly gifted photographer who despite the generation he belonged to (with its very strong sense of machismo) managed to reveal very tender moments as well.’ Thanks @joergmc for writing about ‘My Japan’ by Issei Suda. 🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔 Read the full review at cphmag.com

◾◽Today we go to Japan with an exceptional book

My Japan
by Issei Suda
Published by @fw.books

👉Available in bookshops
👉and soon in our online shop

For Issei Suda (1940–2019), photography was a means to document the ordinary and reveal the extraordinary.

Traditional country festivals were a favourite subject, but he also saw theatre in Tokyo’s street life.

Suda had a talent for square format compositions and is known for the technical perfection of his black-and-white prints as well as for his unique and surrealistic visual style.

'Issei Suda – My Japan' is an introduction to his life’s work, from the 1960s until the publication of his final book in 2018. It includes rarely seen photographs from his early stage photographer days for the avant-garde theatre troupe Tenjo Sajiki, and iconic series, such as Fushi Kaden and Waga Tokyo 100.
