Writing in the form of both criticism and theory has been an integral part of Jeff Walls work, complementing a corpus of photography that began to form in 1978. His first text comes from 1981, and he still writes today. On the peripheral scene of Vancouver (British Columbia), Wall sought to combine a rather literary approach to what is known as concept art with the practice of screenplay writing. Both in his photography and in his texts, this way of doing things coexists alongside constant, open reflection on the history of the pictorial tradition and of critical thinking.This book brings together sixteen texts, essays and interviews with internationally renowned personalities from the art world. Edited by Jean-François Chevrier, the leading expert in Walls work, it includes seven texts that have never before been translated into Spanish, as well as other, out-of-print pieces of writing.

Un diccionario fundamental contra el ruido y la indigestión que genera la avalancha iconográfica de la cultura contemporánea. Con las cámaras de los teléfonos convertidas en apéndices humanos generamos muchas mas imagenes de las que podemos consumir, imagenes que nos someten y ante las que, a veces, no queda mas que sublevarse. Imagenes que nos degluten y a las que de vez en cuando conviene deglutir. Imagenes que, bajo la alfombra inabarcable de las millones de reproducciones, casi siempre nos ocultan los imaginarios de esta era, que empezo con la nueva derecha poniendo a volar la cabeza sin cuerpo de Lenin sobre el cielo de Berlin y se alarga hasta un presente en el que la nueva izquierda ha echado a cabalgar el cuerpo sin cabeza de Franco en el suelo de Barcelona. El ensayista Ivan de la Nuez define esta omnipresencia como iconocracia, un termino que afianza la tirania de la imagen pero que, al mismo tiempo, nos permite contrarrestarla. Y es que, sin negar esa ubicuidad opresiva, la apoteosis iconografica puede entenderse tambien como un ecosistema de poder y contrapoder, un juego de gobierno y oposicion en el que cabe la vomitona radical de la iconoclasia pero tambien la digestion critica de la iconofagia, concepto que han compartido Norval Baitello o Alfonso Morales y que ahora da titulo a este diccionario que se propone como una sola trama y en cuyos capitulos brillan con luz propia voces e imagenes.Sobre el autor y su obra la critica ha dicho:Ivan de la Nuez es un francotirador que lleva veinte años publicando ensayos que son hitos de una exploracion coherente y original del medioambiente simbolico contemporaneo. (...) Y lo hace con una escritura rigurosa pero tambien accesible y divertida.Cesar Rendueles, BabeliaDe la Nuez es un paria de largo alcance. (...) Pero el autor cubano no va con brujula. Como los parias, como los nomadas, se moja el dedo para detectar el sentido del viento y prospectar el camino del globo. Donde el globo quiera. Donde el viento dicte. De la Nuez, nacido en La Habana, habitante del mundo, vuelca su viscera en cada pagina (...).Franco Chiaravalloti, Revista de las letras Sus libros no se suceden como variaciones de un mismo libro, a la manera de tantos ensayistas, ni tampoco como aplicaciones locales de un canon intelectual propio. (...) En realidad, la metafora mas util -tal vez la unica- para describir la escritura de Ivan de la Nuez es la metafora cartografica.Javier Calvo, Letras Libres Hay que disfrutar en de la Nuez (y esto es algo que lo separa de otros intelectuales cubanos contemporaneos suyos mas graves), eldescarnado humor, la propension critica a salar las cosas, invadir el discurso: darle sabor, darle swing.Alfredo Triff, Tumiamiblog

The London Youth Portraits is Derek Ridgers beautifully illustrated time capsule of style and subculture in 1980s England

Toda la gente que se pasea por Barcelona no deja de sorprenderse por la cantidad de lugares y rincones tan especiales que tiene la ciudad, incluso para la mayoría de ciudadanos que transitamos a diario por la ciudad no deja de sorprendernos todos esos detalles que se escapan a nuestra vista. Al crear este fotolibro he querido plasmar esos rincones, lugares y detalles que muchas veces nos pasan desapercibidos al transitar por la urbe, pero he querido dar a las fotografias un toque personal convirtiendolas en pequeñas obras de arte. Mi intencion no ha sido otra que todos los que vean y examinen este libro contemplen la ciudad desde otro punto de vista mas artistico y puedan darse cuenta de que Barcelona esta repleta de rincones y detalles que muchas veces no vemos.

Omen reexamines the Farm Security Administration's photographic archive, revealing a lesser-known narrative that challenges traditional views of American history.This book's visual sequence breaks norms, creatively cropping images from the Farm Security Administration archives (1935-1944) at the New York Public Library.Lucy Ives, the acclaimed American writer and poet, skilfully penned Omen's captivating text. Ives has firmly established herself as a leading voice in the contemporary literary world, with numerous critically acclaimed publications to her name.Chasing the ghost, the traces of oblivion, and the echoes of what was and no longer is, the book *Omen* is a revision and reframing of a fraction of the photographic archive of the Farm Security Administration (1935- 1944), hosted at the New York Public Library. That program was one of the milestones of modern documentary photography, instrumental in constructing a hegemonic narrative; one mainly about triumph against adversity, division, and catastrophe in the recent history of the United States.But by gazing over that monumental set of images; by scrutinizing the corners of the pictures, the backgrounds, and details; by examining the secondary characters; in what should not be there and what appears by chance, accident or error, it is possible to discover a different narrative, one that is thicker, murkier, more troubled, complex, contemporary and contradictory. Both a shatter and an apex: a premonition of the genealogical continuity of the many (tumultuous, visible, and invisible, thunderous, and silent) systemic violences that make up the face of American society.A book that serves as a mirror for the distressing reality of the United States these days, and, at the same time, as a device for reflection on the way historical and documentary photography is read and understood.

Brutalist architecture is commonly associated with a cold austere aesthetic but architects have long found ways of incorporating greenery into their designs creating a striking contrast between hard concrete and the soft organic shapes of plants And if not designed nature often has its own way of reclaiming the built environment From green roofs to living walls from the pocket gardens of Le Corbusier s Unite d Habitation to the lush couryards and conservatory of London s Barbican Centre Olivia Broome has curated an impressive selection of striking images from around the world
