Avedon traveled throughout five years, meeting and photographing the people of the West--ranch workers, roustabouts, bar girls, drifters, gamblers, miners, wildcatters, slaughterhouse workers, and adolescents. Often mistaken as sociology, Avedon was very clear that it is entirely a fiction, his "vision" of the West. This makes the work no less stunning an achievement. Parr & Badger, The Photobook, Vol. 2.

VB 08-36 documents 29 of Beecroft's performances from 1994 to 1998. Her work is a complex fusion of conceptual issues and aesthetic concerns, focusing on large-scale performance art, usually involving live female models (often nude). She sets up a structure for the participants in her live events to create their own ephemeral composition. The performances are existential encounters between models and audience, their shame and their expectations. Each performance is made for a specific location and often references the political, historical, or social associations of the place where it is held. Beecroft's work is intended to provoke questions around identity politics and voyeurism in the complex relationship between viewer, model and context. Nudes.

Between 1979 and 1991 she created computer-generated images of fantastical faces: composites, aged portraits, and digitally manipulated facial anomalies. From 1991 to 1995 she made photographic portraits of what she calls "special faces," children and adults whose appearances have been altered by disease, nature, or circumstance. From 1996 to the present, she has been engaged in a range of projects that interlace her natural penchant for the fantastical, her paradoxical relationship with science, and an awareness of the spiritual connections between all living things.

From the publisher: During the summer of 1997, Kurt Caviezel photographed through his window drivers and passengers stopped at the red traffic light outside his apartment on a busy Zurich intersection. Shot through a 1000 mm telephoto lens, double-glazed windowpane and curved car windshield, Caviezel's photographs are subjected to distorted and reflected rays of light, giving the images a certain atmospheric distance and detached perspective, and emphasizing the interior details of the car and the behavior of its occupants. Organized into different categories--displays of affection, eating, exasperation, strange objects in the front seat, inspecting one's body--these images capture the portions of our lives played out in car seats, and the strange behaviors we have developed to pass the time in transit from point A to point B.

Born in 1936 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the artist was greatly influenced by "Let us now Praise Famous Men," Walker Evans and James Agee's 1936 masterpiece on life in the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression.

New York: Museum of Modern Art, 2005. Hardcover, not issued with DJ. First edition Near Fine, tips lightly bumped. 144 pages; 67 color and 24 b&w photographic plates; 12.75 x 9.75 inches. From the publisher: German artist Thomas Demand occupies a singular position in the world of photography. Initially he took up photography to record his ephemeral paper constructions, but in 1993 he turned the tables by making constructions in order to photograph them. Demand begins by translating a preexisting image, usually culled from the media, into a life-size model he makes out of colored paper and cardboard. He recreates a room, a parking lot, a staircase, a landscape--then he photographs the model and destroys it. Demand's photographs appear at once compellingly real and strangely artificial. Since their subjects--handcrafted facsimiles of both architectural spaces and natural environments--are themselves built in the image of other images, the photographs are three times removed from the scenes they seek to depict. Combining craftsmanship and conceptualism in equal parts, Demand pushes the medium of photography toward uncharted frontiers. FREE SHIPPING and tracking within the US by Media Mail.

From the publisher: Originally trained as a sculptor, Thomas Demand approaches photography as a means of preserving ephemeral paper constructions but inevitably the camera becomes central to his creative process. At first glance, Demand's works seem to present fragments of a hyperreal and familiar place but, before long, they reveal their true identity: a wholly artificial world reduced to generic forms. Large immaculate photographs of interiors and architectural exteriorsÑa world peopled with inanimate objects and bathed in uniform lightingÑare mounted on Plexiglas, which underscores the materiality of the photographic object. For each of his reproductions, Demand constructs life-size models using paper and cardboard, and these forms always allow signs of their true nature to show through.

The MIT Press, 2007. Hardcover with DJ. First edition As New 320 pages; 51 b&w reproductions; 5.5 x 8 inches. Marcel Duchamp was a famous expatriate, a wanderer, living and working in Paris, New York, and Buenos Aires and escaping from them in turn. But exile, argues T. J. Demos in this innovative reading, is more than a fact in Duchamp's biography. Exile--in the artist's own words, a "spirit of expatriation"--infuses Duchamp's entire artistic practice. Indeed a profound sense of dislocation--from geographical situation, national identity, and cultural conventions--deeply informs the mobile objects and disjunctive spaces of Duchamp's readymades and experimental exhibition installations. Demos connects Duchamp's condition of exile to forms of displacement within photographic practice and modern museum exhibitions, theorized extensively at the time by Walter Benjamin, AndrŽ Malraux, and Frederick Kiesler. He claims that in the period of fascism's elevation of the home as the site of national imagination, Duchamp's anti-national identity became a form of resistance, just as his artistic practice represented a complex response to capitalism's increasing institutionalization and marketing of art. Duchamp's exile, writes Demos, defines a new ethics of independent life in the modern age of nationalism and advanced capitalism, offering a precursor to our own globalized world of nomadic subjects and dispersed experience.

For many, games are entertainment, diversion, fantasy. But what if certain games were something more than this, providing not only outlets for entertainment but a means for creative expression, instruments for conceptual thinking, or tools for social change?
