A propos de cet article

1st Printing. 8 pages. Published in 1992. Exhibition Catalog. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The Catalog is now scarce. An elegant production by MIT Visual Arts Center: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover, as issued. Photographs by Michiko Kon. Essays by Katy Kline and Michiko Kasahara. Printed on thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the MIT Visual Arts Center in 1992. Presents a selection of Michiko Kon's singular photographs. She works exclusively in the still life genre. Each of her images is of an object assembled from fish, flesh, and fowl, in a post-Modernist nod to Man Ray and Meret Oppenheim. Her Surrealist-inspired art has also been compared to Arcimboldo and Edward Weston. "A contemporary artist of startling originality. Her exploration of the photographic still life, in which perishable materials - raw fish, fowl, vegetables - are combined with familiar, often feminine objects - a schoolgirl's uniform, high-heeled shoes, a pocketbook - triggers our senses of touch, taste, and smell through vision and imagination" (MIT Visual Arts Center). "Michiko Kon takes the Classical tradition of the still life and gives it new life through the re-animation of object parts and body parts in new forms. A fish with legs, a vacuum cleaner turned into an animal, a light bulb turned into a pear, a remote device turned into a living creature, a flower vase display sprouting heads of fish. It is this exchange of the inanimate with the animate that imbues the stillness of her photography with the dynamism of the balance between life and death, being awake and dreaming" (Aperture Foundation). An absolute "must-have" title for Michiko Kon collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog still available online and despite its imperfection (very slight wear on the fragile spine corners, but it's there) is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The wear happened at the publisher's, not from human use or handling, and does not affect any of the inside pages. A scarce copy thus. 7 plates. One of the finest artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy.…
