"Obsession with the semiotic erosion of meaning and reality led me to create objects that evangelize their own relevance by a direct fusion of word and form. Books (many culled from dumpsters and thrift store bins) are lovingly vandalized back to life so they can assert themselves against the culture which turned them into debris." - Robert The 1995 No comment yet.

"Andy Adams of Flak Photo asked me to weigh in on the 'Future of Photobooks' conversation initiated by Livebooks. Most of what I've read on this topic has centered on technology and it's impact on the process and distribution of photography books. Technology has lowered the barrier to entry and the Internet has changed the distribution model, but does this represent a significant advancement of the concept?" Delete the scoop?

"The Guardian was brave enough last Friday to jump into the murky waters of rare book price speculation. In an interesting, if a tad optimistic, feature on collecting photobooks, the author, Mr. Dewar, discusses photobooks as a potential investment source. Mr. Dewar references the recent spike in photobook prices and offers some tips to would-be photobook investors looking to start their first collection. [...]" Delete the scoop?

Objet culturel à part entière, icône de l’accès pour tous à la culture ou au contraire symbole de répression et de totalitarisme, le livre a marqué l’histoire de l’humanité. L’identification immédiate d’un ouvrage a été rendu possible grâce à un attribut simple, à l’origine simplement utilitaire : la couverture. Ce référent visuel a trôné en souverain unique pendant les siècles de l’âge d’or de l’imprimerie. Mais l’arrivée des nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la création a bouleversé l’ordre établi, et a subitement relégué la couverture imprimée au rang de quasi-antiquité. La couverture de livre est-elle pour autant morte? La reliure est-elle réellement une relique muséale, appelée à disparaître au profit d’images pixellisées ? En quoi l’arrivée des livres dématérialisés a-t-elle profondément modifié le rôle et l’importance de la couverture des livres sur écran? Cela a-t-il eu une influence sur le consommateur final ? Ce travail commencera par établir les origines de la couverture, ainsi que sa fonction originelle. Puis nous nous intéresserons plus précisément aux fonctions et attributs des couvertures de livre dans le contexte socioculturel actuel, plus spécifiquement par rapport à l’avènement des e-books.

Crowdbooks marries the power of crowd-funding with a passionate community of artists to create a revolutionary new platform for Photo/ Art books. This model will merge talented photo artists and passionate supporters of the arts with a quality-focused independent publisher.
The innovative concept behind Crowdbooks makes it stand out as the first-of-its-kind crowdfunding option that sees an idea through from its inception to publication. While the concept of crowdfunding is not unique and has grown in recent years, Crowdbooks offers a completely new element to this established model. Other venues step out once funds are secured, yet Crowdbooks steps in and sees the projects through the final stages of design and distribution.
Each project is created with an intense focus on craftsmanship, quality and an eye for detail. Handmade production methods are often employed, insuring each book is itself a work of art. Additionally, Crowdbooks offers the know-how of large publishing firms juxtaposed with the dedication of individual artists and talented teams focused on the success of each project.
Please don’t hesitate to visit our website and share your comments and suggestions! Thanks !

"Flying Fish Press was established in 1987 by internationally known book artist and book art educator Julie Chen. Working together again after almost a decade (Ode to a Grand Staircase, 2001), Glimpse is a new collaboration between Barb Tetenbaum and Julie Chen inspired by a conversation about how a person translates their life experience into a narrative form: prominent events may stand out as the nameable moments, yet it is the space between these events that life, in fact, is lived."

"fototazo has asked a group of 50 curators, gallery owners, blog writers, photographers, academics and others actively engaged in photography to pick two photographers that deserve (more) recognition - the underknown, the under-respected as well as not-appreciated-enough favorites. A little more information on the project is available in the first post in the series here.
Today we continue the series with responses from Stefano Bianchi."
