CALAIS LACE   Published by Nazraeli Press   Signed by the Photographer    Since 1993 Michael Kenna has visited Calais many times and wandered at length throughout the town, photographing its urban landscapes and its proud industrious heart: the lace factories. On his first visit he met Annette Haudiquet, then head curator of the Mus?e des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle. It was during this meeting that the idea for the book Calais Lace, and the exhibition it accompanies, was born. Pursuing the memories that still haunt the old laceworks of Calais, Michael Kenna's photographs capture a past deeply ingrained in the life of this town. The artist's own childhood in a working-class neighbourhood near Liverpool, together with his work on the Lancashire and Yorkshire cotton mills, led him to develop a language specific to a geography of disaster, the poetics of working-class escapism and the outdoors as a refuge. In Calais Lace, Kenna captures the spirit of this town and marks out the character-traits of a hardworking people. This first Nazraeli Press edition of Calais Lace is limited to 1,000 copies. It opens with an essay by No.l Jouenne, a PhD in social anthropology who shares with us his intimate knowledge of the vocabulary, the names of the sometimes eccentric-looking objects and their uses.   Hardcover, 10 x 12,  92 pages, 52 duotone plates. ISBN 1-59005-050-9

Stern Portfolio #31 - Andre Kertesz

In The Museum Project, Korean photographer Atta Kim commandeers average scenes-city streets, department stores, freight depots, and forests-and turns them into exhibition spaces. On display are people crammed into acrylic boxes, stacked in sets, on end, or sometimes alone. In selecting his subjects and isolating them in their boxes, Kim aims to  detach them from reality; to display and deconstruct at the same time my own concept of the world.  Kim compares his efforts to that of an archaeologist, sifting through the cultural strata in order to unearth and hold up exemplary objects for our contemplation. The Museum Project is comprised of a number of series, such as  War Memorial, Sex, Suicide, and other human typologies, each intended to highlight a particular mode of behavior or belief. In certain series, the subjects are isolated from their natural settings, each display case simply framed and offset by backdrops in primary colors. The resulting images are curious and startling, straddling the indeterminate ground between performance, photography, and an alternate form of anthropology.  The subject of history is, finally, nothing but human beings,  Kim says.  [The] great order of . . . the cosmos is that all kinds of acts conducted by human beings are always watched by someone.

Atta Kim: The Museum Project

Mont St Michel  by Michael Kenna  Limited Editiion of 250 signed and numbered copies in Slipcase.     The small tidal island of Mont St Michel is situated just off the Normandy coast, connected to the mainland by a single causeway. Its abbey rises like a mirage, high above the sea, on this craggy, rocky perch. It is a spectacular sight, and one that Kenna has been drawn to many times over the years. By day, the island is alive with cars, buses, people, noise. It can seem a garish place. But at night, it becomes as originally intended: a place for peace, prayer, and quiet contemplation. It is that gentler face of Mont St Michel that Kenna wanted to photograph and, after the crowds have gone home, he has been able to do so. Alone, he has climbed the bell tower, explored the crypts and chapels, and ambled along the silent lanes of the island. He has watched, totally undisturbed, as the light changed, shadows came and went, and clouds subtley floated this way and that. While his camera shutter was open for long, long exposures, Kenna cherished the silence. He sees these photographs as a personal record of this time of solitary exploration; it is a record we are privileged to share. Kenna has dedicated this book to his father and, in a deeply moving introduction, he describes the connection he feels between this solid, calm, inspirational place and his much-loved parent.      Hardcover, 8 x 12, 84 pages, 64 duotone plates.   ISBN 978-1-59005-205-1

Japan   Nazraeli Press    Signed by the Photographer     Third Edition hardbound in red cloth and presented in a Japanese folding slipcase, new. The beauty of the binding is surpassed only by the images.    Signed by the photographer.    JAPAN by Michael Kenna 'He has been reflective when others have been militant, romantic when others have been skeptical. Such isolation can starve all but the most independent of talents, but for these it can provide a sanctuary where visions can develop undisturbed. Kenna is one of these.' Joanna Pitman, The Times (London)    Michael Kenna's photographs have long inspired words such as mysterious, elegant, and hauntingly beautiful adjectives that likewise describe the Japanese landscape. The photographs in Kenna's important new monograph, Japan, are the result of an ideal pairing of artist and subject. Kenna has had a large following in Japan ever since his first exhibition there in 1987. His many subsequent exhibitions and publications in Japan have provided him with ample opportunities to visit and photograph. During the past several years, as this project began to take shape, Kenna?s trips became more frequent and intense. The resulting images are stunning. Superbly printed in tritone, Japan is hardbound in red cloth and presented in a Japanese folding slipcase.    Text in Japanese and English by Kotaro Iizawa. Publication coincides with a series of exhibitions in the US and Japan.     Hardcover, slipcased, 12 x 13, 108 pages,    96 tritone plates.    ISBN 1-59005-068-1 (Second printing)

Japan 4th

Signed by the Photographer   The land wears its furrows the way a lion wears the bars of a cage. The picture is the record of a hard lesson taught by an unforgiving landscape. Properly considered, such scenes can teach us our place in the creation. What could be more beautiful than a landscape larger than our ideas 'What is more beautiful than a brutally honest face.' From the introduction by Richard Manning, 'Don Kirby grew up turning the surface of the earth upside down, the son of a sharecropper in northwestern Missouri. A half century later, he has emerged as the preeminent photographer of wheat country, a master of both his medium and chosen subject matter. Kirby's sweeping, geometric photographs of wheatfields in the American Northwest manage to convey both a sense of wonder and a deep understanding of the land our dependence on it for our survival, and its own survival of the uses and abuses we impose upon it.'    The artist's first monograph, Wheatcountry is printed in a first edition of 2,000 casebound copies. The forty plates are beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper, accompanied by essays from Richard Manning and Jay Dusard. Don Kirby's photographs have been exhibited and collected throughout the United States.   ISBN: 1-59005-001-0   Hardcover, 12 x 12,   72 pages, 40 duotone plates.

It was to be an authentic 'coming of age' summer for him. Since then, Kenna has documented the slow decline and eventual fall of the hotel. In June 2008, the crumbling structure burnt to the ground.

BoB Chilli - September 1973

Signed by Photographer   "It is difficult to imagine scenes more politically relevant at this very moment than these photos from America?s great grasslands. The pivotal period for most of these places occurred in a time that is a close parallel to our own, so grasslands stand as living, breathing records of an age of upheaval, economic depression and well-meant policy gone wrong. That they persist is testimony to a unique American strength: an evolved and evolving commitment to conservation. Yet they are at the same time not so much a recollection of the past, as they are an exhortation of what we must do to honor this legacy."  From the Introduction by Richard Manning. Eight years ago, Nazraeli Press published Don Kirby's first book, Wheatcountry, to wide critical acclaim. We are pleased to announce Kirby's second monograph, Grasslands, which serves both as a companion book to Wheatcountry, and as stand-alone monograph of this important and timely series of photographs. In 2005, Kirby began a major study of the National Grasslands in the United States. The resulting monograph comprises 47 duotone plates, sequenced geographically from America's heartland of Nebraska, the Dakotas, Kansas and Oklahoma through Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho, to the Oregon and California coastlines. Printed in a first edition of 1,000 casebound copies, Grasslands opens with an introductory essay by Richard Manning, and concludes with Jay Dusard's insightful and feisty afterword.   ISBN: 978-1-59005-264-8   Hardcover, 12 x 12,    82 pages, 47 duotone plates.

Grasslands

A comprehensive rediscovery of an overlooked genius. Relive the vitality and style of 50's glamour Heinz Koester's celebrity photography brought much-needed hope and distraction to the austerity of post-war Germany. His skilful lighting and unique camera angles are still striking to the modern eye.   Although very advanced in photographic techniques, Koester treated his subjects with old-world courtesy. 'Warts and all' documentary style was not for him. A master of the careful touch-up and flattering composition, these works showcase public figures in a way that's both intimate and inspiring. Working by day and by night, Koester?s output was monumental. Mighty statesmen, theatrical impresarios, screen legends; his lens captured them all! This collection presents the artistic highlights of a most prolific career.   ISBN:  978-3-570-19899-5    Hardcover  96 pp,   10 5/8 x 14 1/6 in   61 b/w photographs    Text in English and German

This is the third book from Korean Photographer published by Nazraeli Press   'The winter sea that Boomoon photographed was so stormy it could just as well be called a sea of snow. The snow is constantly, imperceptibly, burying and sinking the landscape in a uniform whiteness. But the accumulating snow does not simply cover and hide the landscape, it strips away the cover of existing meaning that envelops the figure of nature. At times the windblown snow violently agitates the scene, but this agitation can also be seen having the same endpoint. The snow is making the landscape new.' from the introduction by Shino Kuraishi. Our third monograph with the contemporary artist Boomoon presents a series of 33 photographs of a snowstorm where the sea meets the coast of Naksan. The series takes its name from a beach in northeast Korea that faces Japan. But the photographs construct an encounter for the beholders with themselves, wherever they may be, to reflect on the place they are in now, so the location is 'nowhere.' Or, as was the case with Boomoon's previous book, On the Clouds, 'anywhere'.    Photographs by Boomoon.   Nazraeli Press, Portland, 2011.   44 pp., 33 duotone illustrations, 9x13".

Boomoon's third book with Nazraeli Press, Stargazing at Sokcho comprises 19 dreamlike land- and skyscapes made in the artist's secluded hometown in north-eastern Korea. Resembling nothing so much as the way the skies might look from the inside of a snow-globe, these gorgeous color photographs include hints of Sokcho's soaring granite peaks and dense forests, clear, bitterly cold skies, and an almost audible roar of silent eternity. Boomoon is widely considered one of South Korea's most important contemporary artists. His photographs and films have been shown widely in Asia and Europe, and are included in important collections throughout the world.    Stargazing at Sokcho is printed on matt art paper, with a double varnish, in an oversized horizontal format; this first printing is limited to 500 casebound copies.   1-59005-159-9   Hardcover, 17 x 13,   24 pages, 19 four-color plates.

There is a slight bump to a cornewr of this rare and hard to fine Hardbound Exhibition Catalogue   1st Edition, edition size just 750 copies   The Book and exhibition takes you on a journey through Asia, across the landscapes of India, Thailand, Vietnam, China, South Korea and Japan. On his first visit to Japan in 1987, he was instantly entranced by the land and has returned to Asia time and again. The 48 black and white photographs, part of an ongoing project, display his - passion, almost addiction or love affair with the land. He explores the relationship, juxtaposition, and interaction between the landscape and the structures that humans leave on the landscape. Kenna seeks out even the faintest of human interventions; traces, evidence, footprints, history, memories. In Japan he felt a deep sense of history in the terrain and through his subsequent trips to Asia he continues to search for the latent atmosphere of a place.   Rather than describing or reflecting reality, Kenna provides a more subjective interpretation. Shooting in black and white, he believes that as we see in colour all the time, black and white is instantly more mysterious. He favours working at dawn or dusk, as too much light tends to reveal all the details of a scene. Furthermore he gives free reign to the unexpected and unpredictable, using exposures of up to ten hours. Kenna gives up total control and allows nature to transpire; clouds come and go and condensation might appear on the lens. The long exposures eliminate or subdue distracting details and visually dense areas such as water become calmed. Infused with quietness, the photographs offer a place of contemplation and solitude in our fast paced world of noise and colour. Within the meditative landscapes, the viewer's imagination is invited to wander.   Born in 1953 into a working-class Irish catholic family in England, Kenna initially trained to become a priest. However his aspirations changed and despite no artistic background, he enrolled at art school and went on to study photography at the London College of Printing. Here he was first exposed to the photographers Bill Brandt, Ansel Adams, Josef Sudek and Alfred Steiglitz, whom were to become profoundly influential. After moving to San Francisco in 1977, he started to focus his attentions on his hobby, landscape photography. Today Kenna's work has been shown in numerous exhibitions throughout the world and is held in over 80 permanent collections including the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, The National Gallery of Art, Washington DC and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. He has won numerous awards including the Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters. To date there are 42 published books of Kenna's photography.

In keeping with the style and concerns of the earlier work, the Corridor photographs were originally intimate, pull-and-peel Polaroid prints shot in Hollywood's aging apartment buildings.  These furtively snapped images of common hallways were intended to capture the stifling desperation of the tenants - lives through the metaphor of shared interior space.

I remember the muffled silence of the place, broken only by the piercing calls of hungry swans as they slid across the ice.'

Steidl reprint of this excellent book   Chris Killip first attempted to photograph Seacoal Beach in Lynemouth, Northumberland, England, in 1976, but it took him six years to gain the trust of the people who worked there. Living, on and off, in a caravan on Lynemouth?s Seacoal camp from 1982 to 1984, Killip immersed himself in their struggles to survive. Fourteen images from the Seacoal series were also included in Killip?s groundbreaking book In Flagrante (1988).   "When I first saw the beach at Lynemouth, in January 1976, I recognized the coalmine and powerstation above it but nothing else. The beach beneath me was full of activity with horses and carts backed into the sea. Men were standing in the sea next to the carts, using small wire nets attached to poles to fish out the coal from the water beneath them. The place confounded time; here the Middle Ages and the twentieth century intertwined."

Here Comes Everybody? - Chris Killlip's Irish Photographs   Here Comes Everybody? is a phrase that echoes through James Joyce?s Finnegans Wake. It aptly captures the intense poetry of this new collection, taken over repeated trips to Ireland between 1993 and 2005 on each of which Killip attended the annual pilgrimages at Croagh Patrick and Máméan, places of wild beauty and ancient spirituality.   His poignant photographs are a personal reflection on the contemporary pilgrims? journey, and are complemented by landscapes, townscapes and details photographed in the west of Ireland and beyond. They include the first colour photographs Chris Killip has ever published.      Hardback   96pp, 24.00 x 33.00 cm   121 Illustrations, 78 in colour   ISBN 9780500543658

Martin Kollar    Provisional Arrangement   Signed by the Photographer   Winner of the 2016 Prix Elysée, Martin Kollar?s new work, Provisional Arrangement, considers that which is temporary in a world made up of provisional situations and solutions. "We are tenants of culture", wrote Nicolas Bourriaud, foreseeing a world of precarious inhabitation of ideas. ?I grew up in Czechoslovakia during the Communist era,? says Kollar, ?and with the motto, with the Soviet Union for all Eternity ? which has been one of my few experiences with eternity... People of my generation fight against the void left behind the abandoned dogmas.? It is this world that Kollar turns to, one of aborted eternities and slackened certainties ? to situations which reveal the disintegra-tion of permanences, capturing their fall into the provisional.    Martin Kollar was born in Zilina, Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia). He studied at the Academy of Performing Arts Bratislava and has been working as a freelance photographer and cinematographer since he graduated. As a cinematographer, Martin has worked on a number of films, including Koza (2015), Velvet Terrorists (2013), Cooking History (2009), 66 Seasons (2003) and his directorial feature debut 5 October (2016). He has received several grants and awards, including the Prix Elysee and Oscar Barnack Award and his work has been exhibited across the world, including the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Slovak National Gallery (Bratislava), Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, Tel Aviv Museum of Art and Musée de l'Élysée (Lausanne).

Steidl reprint of this Seminal work   Chris Killip - In Flagrante Two   With original copies of this book selling selling between £200 and £500 dependant on condition this Steidl reprint is long overdue, although i would not be surprised to see this go out of print quite qickly.   The photographs that Chris Killip made in Northern England between 1973 and 1985 were first published by Secker & Warburg in the book In Flagrante in 1988. The new oversized Steidl edition is a radically updated presentation, showing a single image on the right side of each double-page spread. In Flagrante Two is strident in its belief in the primacy of the photograph, embracing ambiguities and contradictions in an unadorned narrative sequence devoid of text.   Biography<   Chris Killip, born on the Isle of Man in 1946, is a Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University where he has taught since 1991. His works are held in the permanent collections of, among others, the Museum of Modern Art, New York; George Eastman House, Rochester; the Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Museum Folkwang, Essen; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Tate, London; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

First Edition in Slip case   Abruzzo, located in southern Italy, is known as the ?green region of Europe? because of the system of parks and nature reserves covering more than one-third of its territory. It has one of the highest biodiversity indexes in Europe, and one of the richest areas of flora in the world.    In Abruzzo, Michael Kenna found a cultural identity that elsewhere, for the most part, has been lost to globalization and instant communication. Kenna photographed medieval ruins, ancient villages and a countryside rich in traditional cultivation. As curator Vincenzo de Pompeis writes in the book?s introduction, ?Abruzzo?s heritage, together with its impressive natural scenery, brings to mind romantic connotations that have historically attracted many international landscape artists, particularly in the 19th century. Michael Kenna fits perfectly into this rich historical vein of celebrated landscape artists who have worked in Abruzzo. Kenna?s work often evokes the influences of Romanticism. In his photographs of historic rural landscapes, for example, there is an air of melancholy, which accompanies memories from the past. His images of ruins stir up feelings of passing time, of the constantly evolving  ties between history and nature.?   This gorgeous new monograph by renowned landscape photographer Michael Kenna is published to coincide with a major museum exhibition opening in July, 2017 in Loreto Aprutino, Italy. Richly printed in duotone on matt art paper, and presented in an olive-green cloth slipcase with black debossed text on one side and a tipped-in image on the other, Abruzzo presents 65 images from the series, published here for the first time. Abruzzo opens with a bilingual essay by curator Vincenzo de Pompeis. This first printing is limited to 2,500 copies.

Book 17 Michael Kenna - Notre Dame de Paris  ?From the moment I entered its dark, sacred precincts, I was in love with Notre-Dame de Paris (Our Lady of Paris). I walked around wide-eyed, awestruck by the grandeur of its architecture and esthetics. I inhaled the atmosphere, the faint smell of incense, the whisperings from the crowds of other people also experiencing these wonders in their own particular ways. I lit candles and sat in front of the altar praying quietly, relishing the tranquility and meditative ambience. I listened to the choir as it practiced for Vespers. This was in 1972, on my first visit to Paris?    My affection for Notre-Dame has only increased over the years. Now, when arriving in Paris, often early in the morning and jet-lagged, I greatly enjoy a ritual walk along the Seine to the Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame, where I can spend some solitary time. Of course, I am never alone. Notre-Dame is an extremely important religious, national and cultural monument, with over twelve million visitors annually. Fortunately, it is always possible to find a quiet pew and reconnect with this alluring space. Notre-Dame continues to capture and inspire my imagination.   On Monday, April 15, 2019, along with countless other people throughout the world, I was shocked and saddened to see the media coverage of Notre-Dame burning. It seemed unimaginable that this architectural wonder, filled with over eight centuries of history, memories and mystique could be destroyed in a few hours. Yet, this devastating fire was happening before our eyes. In the days after the fire, I looked through my archive of negatives for some personal homage to this most beloved place that has given me so much. The fourteen photographs in this book, many of which I have just printed for the first time, were made over a period of forty years on my various wanderings through Paris.   Please get well soon Notre-Dame. We miss you. I miss you.?   ? From the Introduction by Michael Kenna   Limited to 500 numbered copies, each copy of Notre-Dame de Paris comes with an original 5x7 inch photograph signed by the artist, of an image made during a trip to Paris in 1973.

(OPB2 017) Michael Kenna - Notre Dame de Paris

“This book is an early vignette from Michael Kenna’s far-reaching photographic odyssey. Some of these photographs, made almost forty years ago, are familiar, even famous, but many have never been seen before. They have been lying in wait, stored in a series of negative files. Normally, Kenna travels extensively and is not able to keep up with printing his extensive collection of negatives. It took the Covid pandemic and lockdown for him to search through his archives, rediscover these long-forgotten images, and print them in his darkroom. These photographs reveal a Northern England from Kenna’s youth that, for the most part, no longer exists.” — From the Introduction\n\nMichael Kenna was born in the small industrial town of Widnes in northwest England. The youngest of six children, Kenna grew up in a poor, working-class, Irish-Catholic family. He attended a seminary school for seven years with the intention of becoming a priest, after which he studied at the Banbury School of Art and later at the London College of Printing, before moving to the USA in the late seventies.\n\nThe adjoining counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire, where Kenna photographed in the early eighties, have much in common regarding their industrial development. Fiercely competitive, they share a border, a spine of mountains known locally as the Pennines, which helps to produce rain. The rise of a powerful cotton and wool industry, and the building of innumerable mills, canals, railways, chimneys and terraced worker houses, have been attributed in part to these high levels of precipitation. The local textile industry proliferated until the second half of the twentieth century, when there was a sudden, rapid decline and eventual decimation. It was during this precise time period that Kenna returned to the area to photograph, during the day and also at night.\n\nKenna’s early photographs of England launched his career and brought him international acclaim; yet it wasn’t until last year, 2020, that he revisited this particular body of work to find many unprinted images. These discoveries are exquisitely presented in this important new Nazraeli Press monograph, Northern England 1983–1986.\n\nBeautifully printed on a natural textured art paper, accompanied by an introductory text by Dr. Ian B Glover, the seventy-five plates are reproduced in quadratone and bound into cotton cloth-covered boards reminiscent of the era.\n\nISBN: 978-1-59005-544-2\nHardcover, cloth, 10 x 13 inches, 96 pages, 75 plates.

Through digital photomontages, I juxtaposed old photographs retrieved from the family archives of my mother in her 20s and 30s, to reconstruct a new story and build the bridge, where she is me and I am her. I restaged my mother’s photographs in the same location she had been photographed, wearing the same clothes and mimicking the same poses and expressions to reconnect with her spirit. My reconnection with my late mother became a substitute for the paucity of memory through visual manipulation. Thus, studying and visually emulating my adoption of the role of mother to my younger sister after our mother’s death, as well as an exploration of masquerading strategies in autobiographical acts.” — Lebohang Kganye\n\nWe are thrilled to announce the publication of Ke Lefa Laka / Her-story by Lebohang Kganye.

I found many of her photographs and clothes, which have always been there, but which I had ignored over the years. Photographs present us, therefore, not just with the “thereness” of the object but its “having-been-there”, thus having the ability to present a past, a present and future in a single image (Barthes, 1980, p.77). Like Barthes looking at the photo of his mother, we look at the person and see the trajectory of their life. The fact that no matter how alive they look, the photograph points to all of our mortalities. The essence of my mother that I identify in these photographs is, in fact, my essence, my constructions, my memories and fantasies of this person whom I met in only one capacity: namely, mother.” — Lebohang Kganye\n\nWe are thrilled to announce the publication of Ke Lefa Laka / Her-story by Lebohang Kganye.

“31st August 2019 … from that moment on, the way I look at the world has changed. Everything has changed. Maria’s untimely death, her decision to end her own life, has made a distinct cut, a sharp delineation of the before and after.” - Martin Kollar\n\nAfter was formed in the wake of the death of Martin Kollar’s partner, Maria.\n\nAs time slowly went by after the cataclysmic event, Kollar cautiously started to browse through his photographic archive. He was returned to the years, months, and days they spent together by the scores of materials from trips they made to location-scout and film together. In their last two years together, they had visited various research centres and public institutes as they started to prepare and shoot 'Chronicle', the film they were to make together.\n\nThese excursions into the past happened in various stages, from Kollar’s original inability to bring himself to open the archive, through to periods of obsession during which he was unable to stop browsing through the multitude of photographs of his and Maria’s past life. What gradually started to emerge from the pictures were hidden contexts and threads he had not seen before.\n\nKollar started to assemble them, but not with the aim of reconstructing their life. Instead, he sought to express how the before transcends into the after; how the most anticipated events always find you unprepared.\n\n\nSilkscreened linen hardback\n20 x 25.5cm, 64 pages\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-34-9

After

Signed by the Photographer\n\nInspired by Valerie Solanas’ iconoclastic feminist tract SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto, SCUMB Manifesto introduces us to photographer Justine Kurland’s own uncompromising initiative: the Society for Cutting Up Men’s Books. This volume presents a collection of collages Kurland created by cutting up and reconfiguring photobooks by male artists, as she went through the process of purging her own library of roughly 150 books by straight white men that have monopolized the photographic canon. The nature of collage — heterogeneous, pulled apart, shape shifting, disrupted, cyborg, fantasy — has long made it a feminist strategy in life and in art. Kurland's ritual is restorative and loving: each work is a reclamation of history; a dismemberment of the patriarchy; a gender inversion of the usual terms of possession; and a modest attempt at offsetting a life of income disparity. While markedly different in style, the defiant female visions pictured in these compositions are a continuation of those depicted in Kurland’s earlier photographic projects Girl Pictures (1997–2002) and Mama Babies (2004–07). Each work in SCUMB sounds an electrifying call for freedom — the freedom to create, to destroy, to imagine, and to reshape our visual and social world.\n\nIncludes essays by Marina Chao, Renee Gladman, Catherine Lord, and Ariana Reines.\n\n \nSwiss bound paperback with sillkscreen printed gauze on spine\n18 gatefolds, with 2 paper stocks\n48 x 60cm poster inserted into back cover\n24.5 x 32cm, 282 pages, 116 plates\n\nISBN 978-1-913620-56-1
