Madrid off se configura como una cartografía de espacios abandonados o en desuso de la Comunidad de Madrid. Nos muestra un Madrid oculto, un territorio paralelo, una topografía compuesta por diferentes tipologias arquitectonicas, tanto civiles como religiosas, cultas o populares, historicas y contemporaneas, que conforman un particular catalogo que puede leerse como una unica ruina contemporanea, un espejismo temporal de ese otro Madrid. Carrasco se fija en la luz y en atmosfera remarcando, co

For over 30 years, Nan Goldin has created photographs that are intimate and compelling: they tell personal stories of relationships, friendships and identity, while chronicling different eras and exposing the passage of time. Eden and After is a new collection of photographs of childhood by the highly influential contemporary photographer, capturing the energy, emotion and mystery of childhood. The book features an introduction from Goldin's close friend and art dealer, Guido Costa.

In the late 50s after an unsuccessful stint in college, master photographer Larry Fink dropped out and began an odyssey of hitchhiking through America. Starting out in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and moving on to Chicago, Larry travelled eastward through Cincinnati and finally back to his native soil on Long Island where his family waited with dismayed but open arms. Clearly Long Island was not an optimal place for young Fink to remain. Striking out on his own once again, but this time for nearby Beat mecca, New York City, Fink settled down on Minetta Lane with a chap who fancied himself a poet. Larry was quick to hit MacDougal Street where he met Turk, Mary, Bobbie, Motha, Ambrose, Randy, and Mike Stanley, not to mention Hugh Romney (a.k.a Wavy Gravy), LeRoi Jones, and so many more. Photographing, singing, and smoking weed scored in small brown paper bags on the avenues of the Village, Fink was living with internal rage, infernal optimism, and oh so many new freedoms. Just a kid, Larry yearned to get out and fight the revolution and to photograph while doing so. The crew lived all together in the sub-basement of the Sullivan Street Theatre. Being next to the Village Gate, a now legendary jazz club, they dug their way to the rear of the club brick by brick to listen to their princes of expressive freedom: John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, and Art Blakey. Fink, a Marxist and red diaper baby, didn't immediately fit in with Turk's crew, but they needed a young, drug-fueled, jazz-loving (and playing) photographer to document their visionary plight. So, it was decided that Larry sign on--they soon left New York to cross America for Mexico--in search of the soul of the Aztecs, the freedoms of the road, the compulsion of speed, the needy thrust of exaggerated adolescence. They moved fast and hysterically forward...

One of the most compelling celebrity photographers of his generation, Rankin brings a charged vitality to all the subjects he portrays. Never afraid to break with convention, he always brings a distinctive artistry to his saucy and irreverent interpretations of sex and glamour. This comprehensive overview combines the best of his work from the worlds of fashion, music and the media. Rankin manages to have us see familiar faces such as Heidi Klum or Beth Ditto in new and challenging ways. Never content with the status quo, he constantly innovates with daring projects such as his current Hunger magazine. Although a master of carefully constructed staging and composition, Rankin's images are always packed to the brim with freshness and spontaneity.

Estas son las memorias de uno de los grandes fotoperiodistas del mundo. Sebastiao Salgado no ofrece un retrato de nuestra tierra inmenso y se convierte en el más grande fotoperiodista en activo, tanto por la calidad de su obra, como por su compromiso con los mas desfavorecidos.

Catálogo de la exposición celebrada en Tabacalera, diciembre-2013 a febrero-2014 bajo el título"Contexto crítico. Fotografía española siglo XXI".Explora la obra de veinte autores que han dado lugar a nuevos planteamientos esteticos que se apuntalan en el conocimiento y en el respeto de los grandes fotografos españoles e internacionales. Ruben Acosta, Paula Anta, Juan Baraja, Mikel Bastida, Cristina De Middel, Jorge Fuembuena, Julio Galeote, Jose Guerrero, Paula Gortazar, Ali Hanoon, Anna Huix, Jesus Madriñan, Juan Carlos Martinez, Ignacio Navas, Vanessa Pastor, Aleix Plademunt, Angel de la Rubia, Alberto Salvan Zulueta, Miguel Angel Tornero y Antonio Xoubanova son creadores cuya presencia y trabajo cotidiano suponen un repunte generacional, pese a que apenas son unos pocos nombres entresacados de una autentica pleyade de nuevos valores. La seleccion de obras incluidas en Contexto critico obedece a un rigor metodologico que se corresponde con esa urgencia por comunicar que demuestran casi todos los trabajos fotograficos que se muestran, con series que deambulan desde la prefiguracion del colapso economico de nuestro pais hasta la exploracion de memorias particulares y contextos locales con cierto anhelo de universalidad Su enorme diversidad no oculta, sin embargo, un denominador comun: la necesidad de explorar de manera discrepante el contexto economico, social y cultural de nuestra sociedad y de la propia disciplina fotografica. Y desde ahi, construir nuevos horizontes para el propio medio.

In 1975, the young Parisian photographer Brigitte Lacombe met Donald Sutherland and Dustin Hoffman at the Cannes Film Festival; these new acquaintances would go on to open doors for her. That same year she was hired as a photographer for the filming of Fellini's Casanova. Since then, Lacombe's famous images have reflected a who's who of Hollywood cinema. This collection spans a masterfully choreographed array of photographs Lacombe took-all the way from the sets of 1970s cinema classics to film milestones of the new millennium, including Alan J. Pakula's All the President's Men, Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York, and Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Conveying a certain intimacy without unmasking any mystery, Lacombe's images capture classical beauty in a way that is fresh and exciting.
