Book excerpt: John Stezaker is one of the most distinguished voices in the history of image-based collage. Since the 1970s Stezaker?s work has occupied a unique position in the face of radical changes in the economy of popular visual culture and its implications on the value of ?found? imagery in art. Faced with the post-conceptual crisis of the mid-1970s, Stezaker came to reject the prevailing tendency among his British contemporaries towards agitprop photomontage, promoted in the name of punk, anarchism and second-wave feminism. He also positioned himself at a distance from the North American Pictures Generation artists with whom he had a meaningful exchange during this period, and in whose narrative he remains something of a missing link to this day. Stezaker was gradually to become consumed by a different enquiry altogether ? one that was, and remains, invested in the possibility of reviving the mechanically reproduced image and exploring its potentials as an outmoded visual currency that is shifting out of circulation in favour of new technologies and alternative modes of image distribution.00Exhibition: Luxembourg + Co., London, UK (01.10 - 05.12.2020).

Book excerpt: John Stezaker's found images, collages and image fragments are most associated with cinematic imagery, however it is the other found-image sources which he has worked with over the past 30 years which is the focus of this publication; notably the artist's Bridge collages and the anatomical nudes of his 'Falland Expulsion' series. This catalogue, published in association with Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, Philadelphia, which showed the exhibition 'John Stezaker: The Nude and Landscape' in October 2011, centres on Stezaker's works from the 1980s when he switched from the cinematic imagery of the 1970s towards 'an engagement with the culture of the image to the nature of the image'. The catalogue presents many new works that have not been shown before and, interestingly, also unaltered found images so similar to the Stezaker collages that they are only identifiable when focussing on the absence or presence of the artist's cut.0Exhibition: Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, Philadelphia, USA.

Book excerpt: The art of John Stezaker engages with the ceaseless flow of images that has been a consequence of mechanical reproduction, mass media and popular culture. His intervention into these images through collage, excision, reconfiguration, inversion or occlusion can be seen to interrupt their everyday circulation in a profound way: image and perception alike are questioned, rearranged and opened to new possibilities. Through their transformation Stezaker's images acquire poetic resonance, and, in many cases, a disquieting allure. With over 120 illustrations, this monograph presents the first overview of John Stezaker's work on paper from the 1970s onwards, featuring his found images, collages, image fragments and a selection from The 3rd Person Archive. Essays by Dawn Ades and Michael Bracewell, as well as a conversation between the artist and curators Daniel F. Herrmann and Christophe Gallois, place Stezaker's work in a historical context and analyse his methodology and practice. The exhibition opens at the Whitechapel Gallery, London in January 2011 and travels to the MUDAM, Luxembourg at the end of the year (June - September 2011). It will also show at Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, St Louis, USA (January - April 2012);
Download or read book The 3rd Person Archive written by John Stezaker and published by Walther Konig Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Stezaker has been collecting photographic city views from the 1920s and 1930s for 30 years. His interest lies in the people that were usually photographed by chance. In his The 3rd Person Archive, he records hundreds of mostly stamp-size details. He describes the archive as a possibility to travel in time. For the viewer, these "miniatures", four-colour reproductions of the black-and-white originals, unfold an enormous imaginative power. One feels like a voyeur observing, in an uninvolved way, the fates and encounters of people in urban labyrinths, a surreal situation that is as disconcerting as it is fascinating. No text.

Book excerpt: Reframing image fragments from postcards, John Stezaker's series Crossing Over (2012-13) focuses on the incidental micro-narratives of life that are often overlooked in these everyday objects.Celebrated British artist John Stezaker is widely known for his innovative approach to found photographic imagery. Building upon the corresponding 3rd Person Archive series, the image fragments in this volume span the history of postcard production.Moving from the Victorian era to the postwar period and black and white to colour imagery, Stezaker explores the female figure, notions of return and crossing back.Working with notions of time and memory, Crossing Over frames seemingly minor details, such as the figures passing on a street corner or conversing on a park bench, as well as the marks left by the physical movement of the images themselves.Reprinted to full-scale, 65 image fragments in this artist project is collected for the first time here.

Download or read book Individual Stories written by Kunsthalle Wien and published by Sternberg Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individual Stories is a refreshing and playful illustrated account of the collections belonging to 20 international contemporary artists featured in the Kunsthal Wein 2015 exhibition. Beginning with a visual collage by photo-based artist Marie Angeletti blending the artists objects, views of the exhibition, museum visitors and the community, this well-edited and -designed catalog portrays the rich relationship of artists to their personal collections. Color and black-and-white photographs accompanying essays and interviews with each featured artist provide a snapshot of the collection as both personal portrait and artistic method. Some of the collections have been incorporated into artworks, like John Stezakers; others remain separate, like Thomas Bayrles; and in the case of Hans Peter Feldmans, the act of collecting is the work of art. Contributing essays by Pinto, Schafhausen and Schmitz complement this fascinating glimpse into how artists collect and how the actual objects and areas of intrigue and interest inspire and influence their art.

Download or read book Handbook of the Spontaneous Other written by Aikaterini Gegisian and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Handbook of the Spontaneous Other', Aikaterini Gegisian brings together a diverse range of found photographic material produced in Western Europe and the USA during the 1960s and 1970s. Composed of a series of 59 collages, the book playfully recontextualises images from popular culture that Gegisian has sourced from pornographic magazines, tourist catalogues and National Geographic spreads in order to subvert the way that the body, nature and pleasure have been represented in Western capitalist fantasies. Divided into nine chapters that follow a metaphysical narrative of colour and sensation, the book ultimately seeks to locate a 'spontaneous other'; a notion of the self and of pleasure that exists beyond the confines of popular culture and its dominant modes of representation.

Download or read book The Ends of Collage written by Yuval Etgar and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title 'The Ends of Collage', refers both literally and metaphorically to the place where collage fulfils its calling -- at the ends or edges of pictures and fragments, where separate worlds come together or break apart from one another. But it also suggests an historical paradigm, where collage is considered as a medium that existed in the so called "age of mechanical reproduction" and has now been overcome by the new logic of the digital age. The book attempts to survey different approaches to- and definitions of collage and the role of this medium in two crucial historical moments: its emergence in the early decades of the 20th century, and the introduction of digital media during the postmodern moment of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Download or read book John Stezaker written by John Stezaker and published by JRP Ringier. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English artist John Stezaker (born 1949) reexamines various relationships to the photographic image--as documentation of truth, purveyor of memory and symbol of modern culture. In his collages, Stezaker appropriates images found in books, magazines and postcards, and uses them as readymades. Through his elegant juxtapositions, Stezaker adopts the content and contexts of the original images to convey his own witty and poignant meanings. In this new volume, Stezaker started with found images from Hollywood's golden era. Using publicity shots of classic film icons, the artist splices and overlaps famous faces, creating hybrid stars that dissociate the familiar and take on an uncanny quality, destabilizing our idealization of celebrity through work both surreal and grotesque. The volume includes an essay by writer, curator and artist David Campany.

Download or read book Collage written by Richard Flood and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simplicity of collage, together with its strong graphic presence, lent the medium a sense of revolutionary possibility when it was first adopted by avant-garde artists almost 100 years ago. During the twentieth century collage gradually became identified with such artistic practices as Cubism, Dada and Surrealism, and today it has gained new momentum as an energetic art form with a strong political dimension. This stunning book explores the role of collage in contemporary visual culture. Featuring the work of both established talents and a new generation of artists, it examines how collage is used to confront and comment on a world that is dominated by the mass media and obsessed with conspicuous consumerism.
