| |   |   | ERRATA EDITIONSKrass Clement: DrumBooks on Books No. 16Text by Rune Gade, Jeffrey Ladd.
Photographed in a small pub in Drum, Ireland, on a single evening and with only a few rolls of film (and a rumored “five pints of Guinness”), Krass Clement (born 1946) created one of the most important contributions to the contemporary Danish photobook. His 1996 Drum opens in a darkening and foggy town, with a workday ending and some men heading off for a drink. Through subtle shifts in focus and a masterful filmic sequencing, the book comes to concentrate on one principal character in the shadowy pub: a hunched, weather-beaten old man sitting alone with his drink. Drum is a quiet, dusky meditation on community, the outsider, alienation and the terrors of being alone. A virtually unobtainable and therefore highly sought-after photobook, Clement’s masterwork is here reproduced in full, accompanied with an essay by photo historian Rune Gade. Errata Editions' Books on Books series is an ongoing publishing project dedicated to making rare and out-of-print photography books accessible to students and photobook enthusiasts. These are not reprints or facsimiles but complete studies of the original books. Each volume in the series presents the entire content, page for page, of an original master bookwork which, up until now, has been too rare or expensive for most to experience. Through a mix of classic and contemporary titles, this series spans the breadth of photographic practice as it has appeared on the printed page and allows further study of the creation and meanings of these great works of art. Each volume in the series contains illustrations of every page in the original photobook, a new essay by an established writer on photography, production notes about the creation of the original edition and biographical and bibliographical information about each artist.

| | | FROM THE BOOK"Krass Clement’s Drum consists of 60 black-and-white images spread across 96 oblong pages. The book is a large size landscape hardback measuring 9¾ x 12 inches, beautifully bound in red cloth with a photo-illustrated dust jacket. The majority of the images were taken in a pub-cum-grocery store in the small Irish village of Drum. Clement spent an evening there in 1990 while on a fellowship at the nearby Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Annaghmakerrig. Published in 1996, the book is a mature work by an artist who, at 50, already had several artist books to his name, had exhibited widely and was the recipient of a number of awards and grants from the Danish Arts Foundation. Drum has all the marks of a mature work: precision, assurance, coherence, distillation and a kind of effortless elegance combined with bold stylistic and narrative originality." Excerpt is from Rune Gade's essay, "Halting, Without Halting: Krass Clement’s Drum," reproduced in Krass Clement: Drum. | | |  | ERRATA EDITIONSISBN: 9781935004424 USD $39.95 | CAN $53.95Pub Date: 3/28/2017 Out of print | Not available
