Paperback or Softback. Etat : New. Sam Contis: Overpass. Book.

Paperback. Etat : New. Overpass is about what it means to move through the landscape. Walking along a vast network of centuries-old footpaths through the English countryside, artist Sam Contis focuses on stiles, the simple structures that offer a means of passage over walls and fences and allow public access through privately owned land. In her immersive sequences of black-and-white photographs, they become repeating sculptural forms in the landscape, invitations to free movement on one hand and a reminder of the history of enclosure on the other. Made from wood and stone, each unique, they appear as markers pointing the way forward, or decaying and half-hidden by the undergrowth. An essay by writer Daisy Hildyard contextualizes this body of work within histories of the British landscape and contemporary ecological discourses. In an age of rising nationalism and a renewed insistence on borders, Overpass invites us to reflect on how we cross boundaries, who owns space, and the ways we have shaped the natural environment and how we might shape it in the future.…

Paperback. Etat : New. In this book Sam Contis presents a new window onto the work of the iconic American photographer Dorothea Lange. Drawing from Lange's extensive archive, Contis constructs a fragmented, unfamiliar world centred around the figure of the day sleeper - at once a symbol of respite and oblivion. The book shows us one artist through the eyes of another, with Contis responding to resonances between her and Lange's ways of seeing. It reveals a largely unknown side of Lange, and includes previously unseen photographs of her family, portraiture from her studio, and pictures made in the streets of San Francisco and the East Bay. Day Sleeper will be featured alongside other works of Contis' in the exhibition Dorothea Lange: Words and Pictures at the Museum of Modern Art, February-May 2020.…

Fotografie in bianco e nero di Dorothea Lange . Cm 24x17. pp. 160 ca. n.n. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione, terza ristampa (First Edition, Third Printing). . In questo libro Sam Contis presenta una nuova finestra sul lavoro dell'iconica fotografa americana Dorothea Lange. Attingendo al vasto archivio della Lange, Contis costruisce un mondo frammentato e sconosciuto, incentrato sulla figura del dormiente diurno, simbolo al tempo stesso di sollievo e di oblio. Rivela un lato in gran parte sconosciuto della Lange e include fotografie inedite della sua famiglia, ritratti del suo studio e immagini realizzate per le strade di San Francisco e della East Bay. Day Sleeper sarà esposto insieme ad altre opere di Contis nella mostra Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures al Museum of Modern Art, da febbraio a maggio 2020.

paperback. Etat : As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Un testo di Daisy Hildyard. 122 fotografie in bianco e nero di Sam Contis . Cm 25x17,5. pp. 224. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Overpass si occupa di ciò che significa muoversi nel paesaggio. Percorrendo una vasta rete di sentieri secolari nella campagna inglese, l'artista Sam Contis si concentra sugli stiles, semplici strutture-varchi-passaggi creati per superare muri e recinzioni e consentono l'accesso pubblico attraverso terreni di proprietà privata. Nelle sue coinvolgenti sequenze di fotografie in bianco e nero, diventano forme scultoree che si ripetono nel paesaggio, invitando al libero movimento da un lato e ricordando la storia della recinzione dall'altro.  In un'epoca di crescente nazionalismo e di rinnovata insistenza sui confini, Overpass ci invita a riflettere su come attraversiamo i confini, su chi possiede lo spazio, sui modi in cui abbiamo plasmato l'ambiente naturale e su come potremmo plasmarlo in futuro.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Towards the end of her life, Dorothea Lange (American, 1895-1965) remarked that 'all photographs-not only those that are so-called 'documentary,' and every photograph really is documentary and belongs in some place, has a place in history-can be fortified by words.' Though Lange's career is widely heralded, this connection between words and pictures has received scant attention. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue provides a fresh approach to some of her best-known and beloved photographs, highlighting the ways in which these images first circulated in magazines, government reports, books, etc. An introductory text by curator Sarah Hermanson Meister will be followed by plates organized according to 'words' from a variety of sources that expand our understanding of the photographs. The featured photographs will range from Lange's first engagement with documentary photography in San Francisco in the early-mid 1930s, including her iconic White Angel Breadline (1933), to landmark photographs she made for the Resettlement Administration (later the Farm Security Administration) such as Migrant Mother (1936), powerful photographs made during World War II in California's internment camps for Japanese-Americans, major photo-essays published in Life magazine on Mormon communities in Utah (in 1954) and County Clare, Ireland (in 1955), and quietly damning photographs made in the Berryessa Valley in 1956-57, before the region was flooded by the construction of a dam intended to address California's chronic water shortages. Exhibition opens December 2019. …
