Download or read book LAX written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LAX: PHOTOGRAPHS OF LOS ANGELES 1980-84 is comprised of two series of black-and-white images of a metropolis that has now vanished. In the first series, LAX (62 photos, 35mm black-and-white film), photographer John Brian King engaged in street-style photography in one of the city's most charged places: Los Angeles International Airport. Harried travelers, uniformed employees, and vacationers appear angered by the flash of King's camera, too bored to care, or all-too-confident in this post-industrial setting. King's series would be impossible today, as it exposes the uncomfortable chaos of airport existence before an era of obligatory surveillance. In the second series, LA (55 photos, 6x7cm black-and-white film), King photographed a city at night devoid of people. The photographs have an evidentiary quality: bizarre debris are framed in the center, isolated by a high-intensity flash. King captured these artifacts--from Sunset Strip nightclub posters to archaic ATMs to beautiful Hollywood Art Deco statues--with a blunt, direct aesthetic. The black-and-white film negatives of LAX remained in a box for thirty years; they have now reemerged as the unsettling traces of 1980s Los Angeles. Featured in the Los Angeles Times, Loeil de la Photographie, Slate, Impose Magazine, The Huffington Post, and more. The photos offer a wondrous time capsule of the airport and Los Angeles. (The second part of the book includes work beyond the confines of LAX.) King captured cowboys and dandies, kids and posers, old ladies and airport workers, frazzled-looking couples purportedly on vacation--all in the glare of his flash and wide angle lens.--Los Angeles Times The book, LAX: PHOTOGRAPHS OF LOS ANGELES 1980-84, celebrates [King's] flash and run perspective as he creates the perfect descriptor of Los Angeles on the fringes, away from the klieg lights and red carpets, when life was about drinking and driving and celebrating the absurdity of a city that looks better after the sun goes down.--Lenscratch The fact that the resulting black and white photographs sat untouched in a box for over 30 years only adds to their otherworldly appeal...Newly uncovered, these shots form a porthole into a long-gone era; the LA of old school Hollywood glamour is invisible here, concealed by the clamour of every day life. And this, King serves to prove, can be even more interesting than the former.--AnOther Magazine Even in the days before the stringent anti-terror security measures, airports were a pretty fraught experience. Back in the early '80s, brash young photographer John Brian King threw himself into the potential powder keg that was Los Angeles International Airport with flash blazing--deliberately intrusive and often unwelcome--to see what might combust. Aside from the human drama, King was also drawn to the fabric of the building itself, and the detritus and damage left behind by the transit of so many people.--We Heart The parallelism between LAX and LA brings the viewer to two different states of the city, that at the same time is made by the same people who come and go, who are living their everyday life, far from the imaginary we are used to when we think about Los Angeles. Here this everyday life is the main character of a vanished era.--Yet Magazine Art. Photography. California Interest.
Download or read book Everything Now written by Rosecrans Baldwin and published by MCD. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER. NAMED A BEST CALIFORNIA BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES A provocative, exhilaratingly new understanding of the United States’ most confounding metropolis—not just a great city, but a full-blown modern city-state America is obsessed with Los Angeles. And America has been thinking about Los Angeles all wrong, for decades, on repeat. Los Angeles is not just the place where the American dream hits the Pacific. (It has its own dreams.) Not just the vanishing point of America’s western drive. (It has its own compass.) Functionally, aesthetically, mythologically, even technologically, an independent territory, defined less by distinct borders than by an aura of autonomy and a sense of unfurling destiny—this is the city-state of Los Angeles. Deeply reported and researched, provocatively argued, and eloquently written, Rosecrans Baldwin's Everything Now approaches the metropolis from unexpected angles, nimbly interleaving his own voice with a chorus of others, from canonical L.A. literature to everyday citizens. Here, Octavia E. Butler and Joan Didion are in conversation with activists and astronauts, vampires and veterans. Baldwin records the stories of countless Angelenos, discovering people both upended and reborn: by disasters natural and economic, following gospels of wealth or self-help or personal destiny. The result is a story of a kaleidoscopic, vibrant nation unto itself—vastly more than its many, many parts. Baldwin’s concept of the city-state allows us, finally, to grasp a place—Los Angeles—whose idiosyncrasies both magnify those of America, and are so fully its own. Here, space and time don’t quite work the same as they do elsewhere, and contradictions are as stark as southern California’s natural environment. Perhaps no better place exists to watch the United States’s past, and its possible futures, play themselves out. Welcome to Los Angeles, the Great American City-State.

Book excerpt: This book is comprised of photographic art and motivational psychically Inspired messages by psychic medium and artist Grace Divine "THE PSYCHIC ARTIST." The author states, "I created this book inspired by a question: Where are the angels in Los Angeles? A metaphor, an analogy, a simile, star struck people from all around the world come to Los Angeles to look for stars. But to be taken literally, where are they really, the angels? This book, being the artistic medium, proposes to arouse a sense of curiosity and perplexity in your mind. Ask yourself, what do you feel and what do you think when you see these photo paintings? Through this book, you will learn to see like a psychic artist as it shows you how to see what you hadn't seen before, more than just shadows of buildings reflected on the walls, maybe you, can find the angels in Los Angeles.One day, while traveling through Los Angeles, I took thousands of photos of the buildings from my moving vehicle. Differentiating between positive and negative spaces, I focused on the shadows as they are reflected from one building to another and on the spaces around them. In addition, I was haunted by the name of the city, "Los Angeles." I pondered at the irony of that name and its meaning. The rich history of Los Angeles as a city that caters to the entertainment industry is filled with stars and celebrities. But these stars stand on the shoulders of the many countless people who contribute to the production of television and film. In these photographs, I use the shadows on the buildings as a metaphor for this reality.My name is Grace Divine. I am a photographer, painter, artist, writer, attorney and psychic. I am "THE PSYCHIC ARTIST" and founder of The PSYCHIC ART MOVEMENT. This book is part of a series of books dedicated to THE PSYCHIC ART MOVEMENT. To learn more, please visit gracedivine.com.
