Nazzaro writes. “And others still who consciously, like architects, build cathedrals over time. Among the latter are the likes of Claude Chabrol or Fassbinder. Poetics is the product of a set of recurring signs, obsessions and refrains that enables in its accumulation of evidence a conversation with a filmmaker. Creators of worlds work differently. Poetics—which usually emerges midway through the career of a director, if the premise of the early works is retained—is already all there in that first image, in the first sign (in this sense Bertrand Mandico is the closest director to Tim Burton today). The world itself is motive force to the very existence of their filmmaking. Tim Burton is a creator of worlds.” DATE 5/5/2024 Eugene Richards' eloquent new photobook documenting Green-Wood Cemetery“Hands shaking, temperature 103. The days were not much different than the nights, then the fever lifted. I was still having difficulty breathing, but needed to move, get out of the house, go to where there’d be more than a glimpse of the sky. I barely remember my first days in Green-Wood. There were gravestones up and down the hills, bare branches floating overhead.” So begins Remembrance Garden: A Portrait of Green-Wood Cemetery, noted American documentary photographer Eugene Richards’ contemplative new three-year study of the beloved Brooklyn landmark. Begun in March 2020, when he was recovering from an early case of Covid—long before the vaccine and during that eerie time when the world was first shutting down—this quiet, powerful volume reminds us that Richards is a living treasure whose vision can be as poetic as it has sometimes been searing. We are proud to have published this newest volume in his half-century output as a Magnum documentarian and master photography book maker. DATE 5/1/2024 A new book on NYC graffiti art legend Lee QuiñonesFeatured spreads are from new release Lee Quiñones: Fifty Years of New York Graffiti Art and Beyond, published by Damiani and launching this weekend at Artbook @ MoMA PS1. The first major monograph on Quiñones—considered by many to be the single most influential artist to emerge from the NYC subway art movement—this book features 180 color images and essays by a dozen leading lights including Franklin Sirmans, Isolde Brielmaier, Bisa Butler, Futura, Debbie Harry and Barry McGee, to name a few. Sirmans writes, “Dig if you will, a picture of early 1970s New York City when digital images were hard to come by except in Times Square, no one had a personal phone or even a beeper, unless you were a cop or a doctor. Drawing on walls may have originated more than 70,000 years ago and the tradition of muralism as a support for mark making is also long but, in the universe of 1970s New York City there was no greater canvas than the moving subway car, seen by millions every day. This is where Lee Quiñones got his start as a precocious, mercurial kid who loved to paint. As a teen¬ager, Lee was struck by the paintings he saw on this most readily available canvas, that of the public transportation system, where no one had to pay to see paintings, a free museum. After painting a car, the young artist would ride the train to watch and listen to people’s responses, a built-in critical apparatus to glean the public’s opinion. The newspaper critics would come later.…” |
