Abstract

In dit boek wordt een beeld geschetst van het alledaagse leven in katholieke meisjesscholen en internaten. De statige architectuur van de historische gebouwen waarin de internaten zijn gevestigd, de slaapzalen met chambrettes, hoge gangen, refters, de kapel en het ommuurde schoolplein vormen de context waarbinnen opgroeiende meisjes zoeken naar hun identiteit. De tekst geeft de ervaringen weer van meisjes die tussen 1990 en 1997 'internen' waren. De foto's vertellen het verhaal van een wereld die op het punt staat te verdwijnen. Steeds meer historische gebouwen worden gemoderniseerd en kleine internaten sluiten. Het dragen van een uniform is in verschillende scholen reeds afgeschaft. Door de vergrijzing in de meeste zuster-congregaties zijn in het onderwijs en de internaten steeds minder religieuzen werkzaam. Vanaf 1998 zijn scholen in Vlaanderen verplicht om zowel jongens als meisjes toe te laten.

Abstract

"Manuel Alvarez Bravo has been the most significant single force in Mexican photography and one of the twentieth century's great Mexican artists, as well as an artist of international acclaim, yet the story of his contribution to the medium of photography has not previously been told in terms of his long and deep artistic development." "Alvarez Bravo has produced a body of photographs of exceptional quality throughout his lengthy career: early pictorialist work and other experiments, formal abstractions, images allied to international surrealism, and mature work of many kinds - portraits, urban and rural views, religious and vernacular subject, landscapes, and nudes - all unified in their originality, poetry, and insistence on human dignity. His profound affection for his country and its people has to a great degree formed our lasting image of Mexico itself." "This splendid book provides, for the first time, the most representative and faithfully reproduced summation of Alvarez Bravo's life achievement as well as the most complete documentation available. The majority of the book's 175 tritone plates were made from rare vintage prints furnished by the artist or assembled from private collections. Many of these have become well-known icons of modern photography, but close to half of them have never before been published and some not seen or exhibited since the 1930s." "Susan Kismaric has conducted an extensive series of interviews and conversations with the artist. Her essay traces his extraordinary career (the artist is now in his ninety-fifth year) and discusses his exceptional body of original work, acknowledging his international stature and the universality of his intimate poetic imagery. It gives us a comprehensive treatment of his oeuvre in terms of his own life, his deep pride in his Mexican heritage, and other avant-garde art and artists of his time in Mexico and elsewhere."--Jacket.

Abstract

An unbridled celebration of a life beyond guilt and expiation

As sweet as raspberry ripple, as tempting as popcorn. Welcome to the seductive pictures of Pierre et Gilles. Again and again they show people in kitschy scenarios against a background of flowers and hearts. When they are not snapping portraits of the well-known - most of whom are close friends like Marc Almond or Nina Hagen - and not-so-known, they photograph themselves.

Bizarre, and full of obscure significance, the photographs are reminiscent of stills from film melodramas.They are always colourful and presented with beguiling polish. They plunder the repertoire of historical presentation as though they were leafing through a collection of fabrics, and assume identities as though they were part of a mail-order catalogue.

Now the latest and most comprehensive collection of the works of these two photographers can be presented to the public - in a format designed by the artists themselves. In matt skin-colour, with a golden edging, the embossed cover is reminiscent of a quilted counterpane and promises a cuddly experience within. Once between the covers one can frolic at will in a soft, artificial world of pictures. This saccharine collection of kitsch encompasses all aspects of homosexuality and offers them in an appetising form even to those who abhor them. A straight challenge is issued to all readers to participate - at least with their eyes - in this unbridled celebration of a life beyond guilt and expiation.
