Download or read book John Severson s Surf written by John Severson and published by Damiani/Puka Puka. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Severson (born 1933) revolutionized pop culture's vision of surfing and surf culture through his prolific artistic output that transverses decades and disciplines. He began his career as a painter, selling his canvases at Long Beach State College. These first works consisted of oil paintings, photographs, drawings and prints relating to Hawaiian and Californian surf culture. In 1958, Severson expanded his repertoire and created a series of popular surf movies, such as Surf Safari, Surf Fever, Big Wednesday and Pacific Vibrations. While his were among the first surf movies, it was the posters associated with them, hugely popular when issued in the 1950s and 1960s, that remain collector favorites today. Showcased in these early posters, his graphic skills translated easily to Surfer magazine, which he founded in 1960. The magazine was the first to celebrate and revolutionize the art and sport of surfing, establishing it as a powerful pop culture phenomenon. The first issue was a 36-page collection of black-and-white photos, cartoon sketches and short articles--every aspect of which was created by Severson himself. His photographs appeared in Life, Sports Illustrated, Paris Match and other print venues. John Severson's SURF explores Severson's surf odyssey through painting, photography, film and publishing. Featuring an interview with the artist by Nathan Howe, artist and curator at Puka Puka, Hawaii, foreword by Gerry Lopez, surfer and co-founder of Lightning Bolt surfboards and afterword by Drew Kampion, author and former editor of Surfer, John Severson's SURF documents the birth of surf culture and serves as a testament to our ocean.

Download or read book Do Surf written by Constantino Pereira Martins and published by Editora Dialética. This book was released on 2024-07-29 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surf is probably one of the steadiest-growing sports in the world, maybe because surfing isn't just about sports or physical activity. It's about a culture, a newborn tribe, and a collective identity that thrives within the strength of a global outdoor community. This sense of belonging is reinforced by philosophical assumptions besides a political and economic evidence: the ocean is freedom, and the sea is the last free place on the planet. You can go to the beach and the only thing you need is a board. This fact implies, and relies, on other significant determinations regarding phenomenological and spiritual dimensions. This book reflects a wide and heterogeneous set of essays that will give the reader a wide range of perspectives that depart from the Philosophy of Sport and expand also to cultural, anthropological, medical, poetic, and existential insights.

Download or read book Connecting Lines written by Alec Hughes Pardo and published by CreaLibros Ediciones. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in my college days on Oahu, Hawai’I, during the 90´, I learned the story of Eddie Aikau, Hawaiian surfer, lifeguard, and sailor who inspires me to this day. In 1978, Eddie took part in a trip on the Hokulea, the sailing traditional voyaging canoe that was built to recover the techniques of traditional Polynesian navigators. After an accidental capsize, he did not make it back after he went for help to rescue all crewmembers during this first voyage. Today this project of Hawaiian and traditional sailing has already fought against all odds and sailed numerous voyages to Tahiti and back only using the stars, birds and traditional “Wayfinding”. Hawaiian traditional sailors have already successfully circumnavigated the world using science and ocean conservation to promote care for their pacific traditions and “care for island earth”. So Eddie´s story should never be forgotten, an it is an inspiration for all the Pacific Ocean´s community. As a Peruvian, I felt that we also should have had epic stories sailing at sea. Why not? Although traditional history emphasizes the legacy of the Incas or reminds western world that the “Kontiki” project reached Polynesia by drifting and sailing from east to west today gathers more of new information demonstrating that South American Sailors had connection with Polynesians. Also, Andean cultures, pre-Inca coastal and seafaring cultures are underestimated by traditional historians. That's how my experiences of seeking out more connections in the pacific went from a library investigation into “Connecting Lines. Pacific Islanders had reached South America and vice versa thru traditional sailing. These new scientifical updates behind these Polynesian wayfinders fascinating me and this was the tip of the iceberg. New research has found that Polynesia and the Pacific sailors went from west to east against the prevailing winds & currents. “Connecting lines” is the sum of events and experiences from sailing around the world having lived on Oahu and 20 years of research to revive sailing and wayfinding easily explained in an on technical manner. In this book, being a sailor for more than 40 years, I will tell you empirical fascinating data how ocean currents and winds are as old as the earth and how science, anthropology, new findings in history must be tied together. We embark on the story of Túpac Yupanqui, the Inca navigator who would have reached Mangareva and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the 15th century AD; using an amazing raft technology South American and Polynesian canoes. We will “connect lines” with genetic studies that indicate that a type of pre-Columbian chicken from Chile has Polynesian DNA; the sweet potato present throughout Polynesia is called “Kumara”, as it is known as the same word in Quechua language amongst others. Another line to connect is how Māori ropes and knoted cords technology resembles the Peruvian “Quipus”. I invite you to join this sailing trip that, I promise, you will not forget. Let´s Connect Lines and come on board.

Download or read book Pure Space Spanish Edition written by Elisa Silva and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book may seem a simple accumulation of twenty-one public space projects in eight Latin American cities. On closer inspection, the presentation of project descriptions, photographs, and annotated drawings reflects a concern to analytically explain the operative aspects at work. The publication is not intended to serve only as a catalogue, guide, or manual on how to produce public space in spontaneous settlements. Rather, it goes beyond the aims of an index of best practices. It is intended, instead, as an empirical base for a critical and theoretical engagement with the problematic of development, social inclusion, public investment, (in)formal settlement, civil society and the public sphere. The publication achieves its final function at this third level, by providing a compelling argument to expand the agency of architects and urban designers and creatively find ways of justifying, financing, and building public spaces in communities —spaces that have a catalytic effectiveness in achieving significant urban and social transformation. This book was awarded by a Graham Foundation Grant and CAF Development Bank of Latin America.

Download or read book Each Wild Idea written by Geoffrey Batchen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002-02-22 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on photography and the medium's history and evolving identity. In Each Wild Idea, Geoffrey Batchen explores a wide range of photographic subjects, from the timing of the medium's invention to the various implications of cyberculture. Along the way, he reflects on contemporary art photography, the role of the vernacular in photography's history, and the Australianness of Australian photography. The essays all focus on a consideration of specific photographs—from a humble combination of baby photos and bronzed booties to a masterwork by Alfred Stieglitz. Although Batchen views each photograph within the context of broader social and political forces, he also engages its own distinctive formal attributes. In short, he sees photography as something that is simultaneously material and cultural. In an effort to evoke the lived experience of history, he frequently relies on sheer description as the mode of analysis, insisting that we look right at—rather than beyond—the photograph being discussed. A constant theme throughout the book is the question of photography's past, present, and future identity.
