Murder In The Round by Vince Aletti

"The city of New Orleans is a topographical/ architectural/material/cultural phenomenon with a diverse population participating in raucously colorful and fascinating pursuits and rituals. Homicide is a cultural fact of the life in the city as well. In Tooth for an Eye: A Chorography of Violence in Orleans Parish (Twin Palms, 2010), Deborah Luster explores the city in a new way, creating a compelling portrait in the form of a photographic archive of contemporary and historic homicide sites. Following on from her first book, One Big Self: Prisoners of Louisiana (Twin Palms, 2003), Tooth for an Eye explores the themes of loss and remembrance in a series of tondo photographs that offer an opportunity for the viewer to enter deeper into the idea of the city, a place where life and death coexist, neither free of the other/s influence."–Twin Palms Publishers

Untitled, 2009 From The Gray Line
Photograph (c) Kristine Potter /All Rights Reserved

Kristine Potter’s first solo exhibition at Daniel Cooney Fine Art, culls from images made during the last four years as she has been mining her complex feelings toward the military, a subject which she has long, familial connection. For many generations most of the men in her family earned their living and defined their purpose as military officers. Growing up in this military culture, Potter’s childhood was saturated with orderliness, hierarchy, patriotism and a certain knowledge of “the enemy”. Being a child (and adult) interested in nuance, culture, progressive ideas and non-conformity, she was often at odds with the governing forces in her life. She says of her childhood, “True respect aside, I struggled to understand war and how one could take command to engage… I wanted to understand the organization of violence and power, and I yearned to humanize the tough exteriors of these men against all of the anxieties I felt when thinking of their jobs and of their structure.” Despite the long line of military men in Potter’s family, her generation has declined to enroll, ending the long lineage. read more here

Re-Enactors at KLOMPCHING

"London-based photographer Jim Naughten donned flack jacket and camouflage gear to enter the ranks of the world of war re-enactors: simulated battle and bully beef events attended by 20,000-odd UK individuals for whom tin soldiers were never quite enough. “I’d been looking for a large photographic project for a while” he explains. “When I came across the re-enactors I felt utterly compelled to capture them. I saw it as an opportunity to create my version of Avedon’s ‘In the American West’, a book I had loved since college”. Naughten admits to being fascinated as a child by the stories told by his desert rat grandfather and Spitfire pilot uncle; “I built model aircraft, tanks, soldiers and dioramas”. Once embedded with the re-enactors, he felt “an extraordinary sense of recognition…really seeing all my childhood toys full-sized for the first time”... read more here"

Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album
“I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.”

Anne Frank (2nd from left) with her friends on her 10th birthday.

The Leica Photographs of Otto Frank

"As an amateur photographer, Otto Frank focuses on a single theme: the life and times of his family, wife Edith and daughters Anne and Margot. Nothing we see in the snapshots of daily life captured by Otto Frank – one of the first users of the 35mm Leica camera - reveals the horrors the Frank Family will later endure."

+ + +

"Anne Frank was a German-Jewish teenager who was forced to go into hiding during the Holocaust. She and her family, along with four others, spent 25 months during World War II in an annex of rooms above her father’s office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

After being betrayed to the Nazis, Anne, her family, and the others living with them were deported to Nazi concentration camps. In March of 1945, Anne Frank died at Bergen-Belsen. She was fifteen years old.

Her diary, saved during the war, was first published in 1947. Today, The Diary of Anne Frank has been translated into 67 languages and is one of the most widely read books in the world."

"Through a unique partnership with the Leica Gallery, The Anne Frank Center USA presents Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album on view from September 22, 2010 through October 30, 2010.

Featuring 70 black-and-white photographs, many of which have only recently been discovered, this exhibition provides viewers with an intimate glimpse into Anne Frank’s life as a young girl."

"These photographs were shot in modest, well-worn, suburban cities in central and inland Southern California. Built in the 1950s and 60s, these cities provided a new home and future to a post-war population. This is where I grew up and, after 25 years, I returned. The areas I remembered were fading away, and I was struck by the simultaneous growth and decline. Initially, it was the buildings that interested me; I shot them in formal, almost symmetrical compositions. Then I began shooting the surrounding shrubbery with the same architectural approach. I liked the way the buildings and plants worked together, so that is how the project evolved. I have opted to avoid traditional, documentary-style photography; instead I have photographed in primarily static compositions, reflecting change, irony and evolution."

Brad Moore’s photographs are included in the collection of SF MoMA, and exhibited at the Museum of Photographic Arts, (MOPA), San Diego. Read An Interview with Brad Moore by Barbara Tannenbaum, Director of Curatorial Affairs, the Akron Art Museum

RENATE ALLER: OCEANSCAPES / Radius Books

Essays by Richard B. Woodward and Petra Roettig. Interview with the artist by Jasmin Seck. "German-born photographer Renate Aller has been photographing the Atlantic Ocean for over a decade from a single point on the fabled Hamptons’ coastline. Her images capture the infinitely shifting colors and textures of the sky and water, and the beauty and grandeur of the ocean, providing a rich document of what has drawn people to this area for generations. The sublime beauty of this view, which Aller directly connects to the great 19th century German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, is also a metaphor for the landscape of the human emotions. Aller’s viewpoint is static, but the changing weather and light allow for a diverse series of images that open up a vast ‘visual library’ of memories and associations. Printed in Germany, the book captures the subtle mystery of her larger prints and the original oceanscapes."
