Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This exhibition of 1930s photographs by Wols will be the first presentation of this material in the United States. The German-French artist Wols, short for Wolfgang Schulze (1913-1951), rose to fame in the post-1945 European art scene as the founder of Informel painting. Previous European curators and scholars have thus presented Wols' photographs of the 1930s as anticipations of or studies for the later paintings. By contrast, this exhibition and the accompanying catalogue will, for the first time, present the photographs as an independent, coherent body of work that resonates rather with European photographic practices in the twenties and thirties. Wols' photographs combine Bauhaus material studies and surrealist defamiliarizations of objects. Their central fascinating characteristic is the peculiar entwinement of an inspecting but at the same time alienated gaze, of a curious and repulsed attitude towards the world. Approximately thirty photographs will be lent from The Getty Museum for the exhibition, which will be supplemented by loans from European institutions and the artist's family"--Publisher's website.

Download or read book The Oldest Living Things in the World written by Rachel Sussman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oldest Living Things in the World is an epic journey through time and space. Over the past decade, artist Rachel Sussman has researched, worked with biologists, and traveled the world to photograph continuously living organisms that are 2,000 years old and older. Spanning from Antarctica to Greenland, the Mojave Desert to the Australian Outback, the result is a stunning and unique visual collection of ancient organisms unlike anything that has been created in the arts or sciences before, insightfully and accessibly narrated by Sussman along the way. Her work is both timeless and timely, and spans disciplines, continents, and millennia. It is underscored by an innate environmentalism and driven by Sussman’s relentless curiosity. She begins at “year zero,” and looks back from there, photographing the past in the present. These ancient individuals live on every continent and range from Greenlandic lichens that grow only one centimeter a century, to unique desert shrubs in Africa and South America, a predatory fungus in Oregon, Caribbean brain coral, to an 80,000-year-old colony of aspen in Utah. Sussman journeyed to Antarctica to photograph 5,500-year-old moss; Australia for stromatolites, primeval organisms tied to the oxygenation of the planet and the beginnings of life on Earth; and to Tasmania to capture a 43,600-year-old self-propagating shrub that’s the last individual of its kind. Her portraits reveal the living history of our planet—and what we stand to lose in the future. These ancient survivors have weathered millennia in some of the world’s most extreme environments, yet climate change and human encroachment have put many of them in danger. Two of her subjects have already met with untimely deaths by human hands. Alongside the photographs, Sussman relays fascinating – and sometimes harrowing – tales of her global adventures tracking down her subjects and shares insights from the scientists who research them. The oldest living things in the world are a record and celebration of the past, a call to action in the present, and a barometer of our future.
