Abstract

“The more I reflect on her work, the more it appears to me as a peculiar form of Land Art”, is how arthistorian Ory Dessau describes the art practice of Marie Cloquet. The artist put together an extensive archive of photographs and uses it time and again to create her monumental landscapes on canvas. She considers the images, both digital and analog, as sketches and sees similarities between her process and that of classical painters. Close to the way in which, for example, the Flemish masters arranged the sketches they made on site, once back in their studios, into new, realistic looking compositions, Cloquet cuts up and mixes her images into independent entities that remain only loosely connected with the real world. After manipulating the photos in the darkroom, she prints them on drawing paper, tears them up and reconstructs them collage-wise, using watercolor paint. The rugged, anonymous worlds that emerge, play with scale, size and perspectives and simultaneously appeal, as places of devastation, to our collective memory. Marie Cloquet says, that at his core, her work is about collateral damage. If initially her pictures, mainly because of the analog production method, remained confined to the black and white spectrum, the artist has recently begun to gradually introduce color in her work. Subtle, pale and sketchy, so that the works tend towards the realm of the suggestive. It is an attempt to place a gentle veil over dramatic footage, to cover confrontational facts on the current state of the world and the human condition with a layer of beauty.

Abstract

Sophie Thun (b. Frankfurt/Main, 1985) works with analogue photography techniques. With her works, she ties in with the tradition of self-portrayal in European art history. Weaving together references going as far back as the sixteenth century, she also addresses the precarious conditions in which aspiring young artists labor in today's art system. Thun spends much of her creative time in the darkroom, where she brings her body directly into contact with the light-sensitive paper. In this way, she creates shadows, imprints, and traces that are fed into new images and transformed into complex arrangements in space. In the direct processing of her photographic works, painting - her original artistic medium - is always perceptible and visible. The book is the inaugural volume in our series of First Monographs. Initiated by Phileas, the series is dedicated to first publications of rising artists who were born or live in Austria. With essays by Lucy Gallun, Catherine Wood, and Lisa Long and an interview with the artist by Charlotte Cotton.

Abstract

Photography was entangled with art from the very moment of its invention by painter and printmaker Louis Daguerre in 1839. This is the first publication to explore photography's complex and fascinating inter-relationship with painting and sculpture in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Spanning seventy-five years from the daguerreotype to very early colour photography, the book explores pioneer photographers, the Pre-Raphaelite circle and ravishing Symbolist and Pictorialist works. It features stunning works from artists such as Millais and Rossetti to Henry Fox Talbot, Roger Fenton, Julia Margaret Cameron, James McNeill Whistler and Alfred Stieglitz. Showcasing iconic and rarely seen works, this book includes 200 illustrations accompanied by refreshing new scholarship making this the essential book for collectors, gallery-goers and photography enthusiasts alike.

Abstract

Performer, photographer, and painter Teun Hocks is "an innocent Everyman in an always strange and often funny world," as Janet Koplos recently noted. In scenes burlesque to tragicomic, his lonely Buster Keaton-like persona struggles to find stable ground in an unstable universe. Life's complications take the form of impossible Rube Goldbergian contraptions fraught with psychological implications. Each image captures one moment of an implied narrative, triggering questions about how the protagonist ever got himself into such a fix and what in the world will happen next. The wit, elaborate technique, and rich colors of his images combine to form an irrepressibly original oeuvre. In addition to his painted photographs, the book includes drawings, Polaroids, and studio shots, which illuminate his creative process. This is the first English-language volume devoted to the artist. "Hocks is the master of the short story compressed into a single image."—Janet Koplos. Teun Hocks was made possible with generous support from The Netherland-America Foundation and the Mondriaan Foundation, Amsterdam.

Abstract

From as early as 1839, artists began exploring photography's enormous potential for storytelling and often went to great lengths to create pictures for the camera. Here, a short introductory essay summarizes the history of staged photogaphy, highlighting key debates on the medium's blunt factuality and its capacity for deception.
