LIFE SIZE is a photographic journey where the scale of human being confronts the scale of natural or industrial sites. Throughout the pages, Man occupies an increasingly important place.

This work proposes a reading of the iconographic source under an imposed constraint of the scale and measurement: the industrial culture and archaeological sites, anonymity and human presence, reality and virtuality, accumulation and unity.

Eric Tabuchi invites us to investigate the details, the perception, the incompatibility and the similarities in that flux of hiding informations, chaotic and systematic at the same time. The artist’s work reveals the issues in his practice : the image as source, the atlas as and artistic act.

Pássaros silvestres do interior do Mato Grosso, caça-níqueis em um galpão de Belo Horizonte, metralhadoras de São Paulo são alguns dos “modelos” de Bob Wolfenson em seu segundo livro pela Cosac Naify. Registros dos mais diferentes objetos (e animais) apreendidos pela polícia em diferentes regiões do país, as fotografias se revelam elas mesmas apreensões de uma certa realidade brasileira. Mas mais do que críticas ou elogios à atuação do Estado, os trabalhos aqui reunidos dialogam com o próprio ato de fotografar. Em imagens que lembram naturezas-mortas, o fotógrafo paulistano deixa claro um fundamento central da arte de capturar imagens. Como salienta o cineasta Carlos Nader em texto de apresentação do volume, “Wolfenson nos lembra que a própria fotografia é em sua essência também uma apreensão, uma captura.”

Lost Art is a catalog of post-modern artworks that have suffered a material destruction, displacement, or disappearance. Conceived as a print archive, this book collects the documents and remains of twenty-five lost works ranging from Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel, lost a century ago, to a Warhol film destroyed by police, a suite of prints from Richard Prince that hung in the World Trade Center, and Tracey Emin’s shattered Always. The book also includes descriptions for each of the works, followed by a collection of notes from Nosenzo falling somewhere between art-history and personal account. Grounded in research and committed to assimilation into the art-world as a specific object, the exhibition catalog as artists’ publication allows for a unique type of subversive interaction.

This impeccably designed artist’s book presents a selection of images collected by Puerto Rican artists Allora & Calzadilla over the course of a decade. A parallel component to the duo’s practice, the collection is presented as a succession of intuitively arranged pairings that offers insight into their thinking and methodology. & Etcetera reveals a contradictory but revelatory and absorbing system of interests and motivations.
