Book excerpt: Lake pictures' is a series of photographs of Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes bordering the state of Michigan. The picture taken at the same place, during the four seasons, and at different times of day and night explore the changing 0atmospheric nature of the lake through the prisms of water, sky, color, light, place, space and time. Looking at this immense body of water and the sky above, both initially seem boundless, as if stretching forever into the distance. Only the fine horizon line between the two separates and joins them, pulling us into each photo and reminding us that this sense of infinity is but an intriguing optical fiction. 0Exhibition: Galerie m, Bochum, Germany (15.07-23.09.2015).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucinda Devlin's photographs serve as social commentaries on timely and socially relevant issues such as personal rights, the death penalty, and agribusiness. An internationally recognized American photographer who now lives in Greensboro, Devlin began her career in the 1970s during the genesis of color photography in America. At the time, she took up not only color photography, but also the artistic approach that she continues to this day, one that emphasizes an objective or neutral point of view. Devlin also discovered her preferred subject matter: psychologically charged spaces absent of any human figures yet nonetheless signaling contemporary public and private life. Her earliest series, Pleasure Ground, featured droll images of thematic hotel rooms. Subsequent series (Habitats, Subterranea, Corporal Arenas, Field Culture, and Lake Pictures) have continued to probe the meaning of place at such sites as zoos and amusement parks, tanning salons and health spas, hospitals and funeral homes, agricultural facilities and open fields, and lastly, Lake Huron's shoreline. Her most provocative and best known series, The Omega Suites (so named after the final letter of the Greek alphabet), proffered emotive images of sterile execution chambers and the apparatuses associated with them. Organized by the Weatherspoon Art Museum, Lucinda Devlin: Sightlines is the artist's first museum retrospective. The exhibition features 83 photographs chosen from all eight of Devlin's series--many of which were printed for the first time for display in the Weatherspoon's main McDowell Gallery.

Book excerpt: A half century of Devlin's nuanced and fearless chronicles of postwar American culture This volume offers the first opportunity to view all of Greensboro-based Lucinda Devlin's (born 1947) photographic series in a single volume. The nine thematic series reveal a consistent approach from the 1970s to the present, from her early work as an exponent of New Color photography to her focus on various interiors and her exterior environments and landscapes of the 2000s. Following the example of Walker Evans, Devlin observes American culture with a critical eye, from the early series Pleasure Ground, offering glimpses into spaces of entertainment (discos, strip bars, fantasy hotels), to later images of operating theaters, autopsy rooms and execution chambers in The Omega Suites. In more recent works, Devlin examines the management of landscapes in Indiana, the Midwest, the Carolinas and Arizona, the changes in Utah's salt flats and Great Salt Lake, and the vast expanses of Lake Huron, to which she dedicated Lake Pictures between 2010 and 2019.

Book excerpt: During the early nineties, Lucinda Devlin systematically took photographs of gas chambers, injection rooms, electric chairs and death cells in rural towns and cities in the United States. She entitled the series "Omega Suites" -- alluding to the final letter of the Greek alphabet as a metaphor for the end. Seemingly an examination of the death penalty, her austere, haunting images are actually metaphors that question the culture in America, where 70 percent of citizens support the death penalty.

Download or read book 12 Hz written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 12 Hz--the lowest sound threshold of human hearing--suggests imperceptible forces, from plate tectonics to the ocean tides, from cycles of growth and decay in the forest, to the incomprehensibility of geological spans of time. The photographs in Ron Jude's '12 Hz' allude to the ungraspable scale and veiled mechanics of these phenomena, while acknowledging a desire to gain a broader perspective, beyond the human enterprise, in a time of ecological and political crisis. '12 Hz' consists of images of lava tubes and flows, tidal currents, glacial ice and welded tuff formations: pictures describing the raw materials of the planet, those that make organic life possible. The images were made in multiple locations--from the high lava plains, gorges and caves in the state of Oregon, to the glaciers of Iceland and lava flows of Kilauea in Hawaii. Jude's photographs don't attempt to tell us how to live or what we've done wrong, nor do they reduce the landscape to something sentimental, tame and possessable. Rather, they endeavour to describe and reckon with forces in our physical world that operate independently of anthropocentric experience. The photographs in '12 Hz' work in service to a simple premise: that change is constant, whether we are able to perceive it or not. By stepping back to look at the larger system of flux--of which we are only a small part--this book evokes us to find our own pulse, as it were, and assert an appropriately scaled sense of being within the hierarchy of this system.
Download or read book The Unchosen Ones written by R. J. Kern and published by MW Editions. This book was released on with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016, award-winning Minnesota-based photographer R. J. Kern made portraits of youth contestants at Minnesota county fairs. Each participant—some as young as four years old—had spent a year raising an animal, which they had then entered into a 4-H livestock competition. None of the youths who sat for him had succeeded in winning an award, despite the obvious care they had given to their animals. The Unchosen Ones depicts the bloom of youth and the mettle of the kids who grow up on farms, reminding us how resilient children can be when confronted with life's inevitable disappointments. The formal qualities of the lighting and setting endow these young people with a gravitas beyond their years, revealing self-directed dedication in some, and in others, perhaps, the pressures of traditions imposed upon them. Kern's beautiful portraits capture a particular America, a rural world, and a time in life when the layered emotions of youth are laid bare. Four years later, in 2020, Kern returned to photograph his young subjects. The most recent photographs show how the children have grown into adolescence or young adulthood: some of them have continued to pursue animal husbandry, while others have developed other interests. It is likely that some of these kids will not choose to continue running their family farms—an unpredictable and demanding way to make a living. These diptychs are punctuated by lush landscapes of the farms that are their homes. As Kern made the second group of photographs, he asked his young subjects what they had carried forward from their previous experience. What were their thoughts, their dreams, and their goals for the future? How would they fit into the future of agricultural America?

Book excerpt: 2017 Nancy Pearl Book Award After the tragic death of her husband and son on a remote island in Washington’s San Juan Islands, Eliza Waite joins the throng of miners, fortune hunters, business owners, con men, and prostitutes traveling north to the Klondike in the spring of 1898. When Eliza arrives in Skagway, Alaska, she has less than fifty dollars to her name and not a friend in the world—but with some savvy, and with the help of some unsavory characters, Eliza opens a successful bakery on Skagway’s main street and befriends a madam at a neighboring bordello. Occupying this space—a place somewhere between traditional and nontraditional feminine roles—Eliza awakens emotionally and sexually. But when an unprincipled man from her past turns up in Skagway, Eliza is fearful that she will be unable to conceal her identity and move forward with her new life. Using Gold Rush history, diary entries, and authentic pioneer recipes, Eliza Waite transports readers to the sights sounds, smells, and tastes of a raucous and fleeting era of American history.
