Cv Journal was published to 1992 and the collection of interviews and features provided the foundation of Cv/Visual Arts Research archive and subsequent publications.

The documentary power and graphic clarity of the medium challenged and persuaded artists such as Degas, Sickert, Andy Warhol and Richard Hamilton, and innumerable creative voices. In their essays Marina and Anne explore the conjunctions and variations where document and dream intermingle, in a revolutionary medium which transformed the classical canons of Western tradition. The volume includes biographical details of leading figures and a guide to National Collections and study centres. of the spectacle of battle and the horrors of war and human conflict.

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERFrom global art superstar Kent Monkman and his long-time collaborator Gisèle Gordon, a transformational work of true stories and imagined history that will remake readers’ understanding of the land called North America.For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character—an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named Miss Chief Eagle Testickle. Though we have glimpsed her across the years in films and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words. And, in doing so, to hear the whole history of Turtle Island anew. The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island is a genre-demolishing work of genius, the imagined history of a legendary figure through which profound truths emerge—a deeply Cree and gloriously queer understanding of our shared world, its past, its present, and its possibilities.Volume One, which covers the period from the creation of the universe to the confederation of Canada, follows Miss Chief as she moves through time, from a complex lived experience of Cree cosmology to the arrival of European settlers, many of whom will be familiar to students of history. An open-hearted being, she tries to live among those settlers, and guide them to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and the world itself. As their numbers grow, though, so does conflict, and Miss Chief begins to understand that the challenges posed by the hordes of newly arrived Europeans will mean ever greater danger for her, her people, and, by extension, all of the world she cherishes.Blending history, fiction, and memoir in bold new ways, The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle are unlike anything published before. And in their power to reshape our shared understanding, they promise to change the way we see everything that lies ahead.

Landfall explores themes of memory and history through an exploration of the islands off the coast of Maine. Photographs and poetry explore how family and personal history is reflected in the landscape and in the objects that we imbue with meaning. In an island context these issues are condensed, as the history of each island has undergone often extreme change over relatively short periods of time. The sense of what has gone before is intensified and palpable in these isolated settings.

Questo volume costituisce l'esordio editoriale di Patricio Reig, fotografo ispano-argentino residente a Milano, e ne mette in luce un tema per lui fondamentale quale il ritratto di donna. Attraverso la sua fotografia spiega il sottile equilibrio del suo immaginario femminile: il verso come l'ovvio, il rovescio come la sua contrapposizione. Così, un volto e la nuca, il dietro e il davanti, la luce e l'ombra si incontrano per dar vita alla magia di un ritratto. Patricio Reig stampa e fissa le sue immagini su carte speciali provenienti dall'Oriente, piegate e ripiegate, e infine oggetto di un bagno di caffè e iposolfito di sodio. Il risultato raggiunto lo affascina fin dai primi esperimenti: le macchie di caffè accidentali diventano cicatrici che connotano ciascuna fotografia e, di conseguenza, ognuna delle storie raccontate. Come egli stesso afferma "un ritratto non è una registrazione unica dell'identità, ma è la stratificazione di molti altri elementi. Per tanto, l'immagine può anche essere segmentata, ricucita e persino piegata, senza perdere la sua essenza".

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were notorious for representing the opposite of “Family Values.” To reframe their notoriety, they consented to a rare photoshoot for Spin magazine with their newborn, Frances Bean. Only 5 images were originally published; the rest of the photoshoot is seen here for the first time."Now the entire family was in bed together, and Hansen remembers how beautiful it was to see everyone in sync. “They just were loving Frances. It was really so apparent,” she said. “It was really about her. They were oblivious to us in a lot of cases, anytime they had the baby.”' -- Guzman Interview in CNN "Three decades later, Hansen and Peacock are revisiting this fabled shoot for the first time in their new book, Family Values (powerHouse Books), an intimate chronicle of a young couple driven by passion and love that eschewed the trappings of fame and celebrity for truth and art. Through Guzman’s portraits, we see the last of a fading breed: the true rock star who spoke for outsiders, misfits and radicals who wanted nothing more than to live by their own rules." -- AnOtherWith an ineffable ability to connect with people through his music, Kurt Cobain was charismatic and full of pathos, something of a lost boy poet struggling against his personal demons while holding the world in thrall. And yet in the midst of his struggles with success, fame, fortune, drugs, and the wounds of a traumatic childhood, he managed in his brief adulthood to get married to Courtney Love—who of course had her own accomplishments as an electrifying and unrestrained lead singer and lyricist. The couple had already emerged as a cultural touchstone when their baby, Frances Bean, was born in 1992. Photographers Guzman captured, amidst toys and pajamas, the sweetness, humor, irony and the simple happiness of a new mom and dad at home with their baby girl. Family Values is a photography book presenting approximately 90 images featuring Kurt, Courtney, and their baby Frances, one morning in their modest Hollywood home selected from a photoshoot that Guzman did for Spin magazine in 1992. Only five photographs from the shoot were published in the magazine at the time, including the cover. Another appeared in Rolling Stone at the time of Kurt Cobain’s death. In Spin, the photos originally accompanied an interview by Jonathan Poneman, which Guzman plans to license to reprint in the book. The book will also include a memoir of the photo shoot written by Guzman and an introduction by curator and music journalist Michael Azerrad. Family Values is a photographic assignment that revealed two famous rock stars who during one brief moment transcended the magnifying glass of fame and were revealed, amidst all the chaos, as being just a mom and dad

Seine Arbeit gilt zu Recht als außergewöhnlich. Mit einer weltumspannenden Karriere über sechs Jahrzehnte schöpft Norman Foster , einer der einflussreichsten Architekten unserer Zeit, aus dem Vollen: Für ihn gehören kreative Innovation und ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz untrennbar zusammen, wenn es darum geht, architektonische Wahrzeichen zu erschaffen. Der Apple Park im kalifornischen Cupertino, der Berliner Reichstag , der Innenhof des British Museum in London oder der Millau-Viadukt in Frankreich - die mit seinem Architekturbüro Foster + Partners entworfenen Werke beweisen nicht nur erfinderische Modernität, sondern auch Fosters ureigenes "nachhaltiges Konzept zur Gestaltung der gebauten Umwelt" . Erstmals offenbart Foster in einer umfassenden Gesamtschau seltene Einblicke in seinen kreativen Schaffensprozess . Der vielseitig interessierte Architekt schildert seine Arbeitsweise und schlägt den Bogen sowohl von der Kunst zur Architektur als auch von seinen Leidenschaften - beispielsweise für das Fliegen - zu seiner Arbeit. Die XXL-Monografie in zwei Bänden führt uns durch ein Leben voller Originalität und Schaffensdrang. Während das erste Buch Fosters architektonische Arbeit mit mehr als 2000 Fotos und Skizzen aus seinen persönlichen Archiven präsentiert, enthält das zweite neben fast 1000 weiteren Illustrationen acht Essays des Architekten zu den Quellen seiner Inspiration . Diese visuelle Erkundungsreise bringt uns nicht nur die außerordentliche Leistung, sondern auch das Genie Norman Fosters näher, zu dessen Auszeichnungen der Pritzker-Preis 1999, die Goldmedaille für Architektur des American Institute of Architects, die Royal Gold Medal for Architecture sowie die Goldmedaille der French Academy of Architecture gehören. Gemeinsam mit dem Autor und dem Designer schuf Norman Foster mit viel Leidenschaft ein wahres Gesamtkunstwerk . Auch erhältlich als Art Edition, limitiert auf 300 Exemplare. Mit einem signierten Kunstdruck einer Zeichnung des künftigen Innovations- und Begegnungszentrums InnHub La Punt in der Schweiz und einem maßgefertigten, zum Buchständer aufklappbaren Schuber.
