The Photographic II - Signal Or Noise

ROMA Publications 2019 ISBN 9789492811424 Acqn 29460
Pb 20x27cm 64pp col ills £9
To a large extent, photography is produced by machines, and knowledge of the technological

development of the discipline is crucial to the reading of an image. Readable, manipulated, and
hidden information are increasingly difficult to distinguish from one another, yet are of equal
importance in our visual culture. This exhibition catalogue presents a selection of artists who
recalibrate the "photographic" as an artistic field of research and experiment, playing on the
functions, processes, and spaces of photography via hybrid forms. Featuring Tony Cokes, Louise
Lawler, Seth Price, Thomas Ruff, Sondra Perry, David Horvitz, Hana Miletic, Forensic
Architecture, and more.

Irene Kopelman - Cardinal Points

The tenth volume in Irene Kopelman's 'Notes on Representation' series charts the artist's
investigations through drawing, writing, and photographing during several trips to Argentina,
where she joined groups of scientists on different research expeditions to observe their
methodologies and various organisms and environments. She worked in Pampa de Achala with
biologists dealing with invasive terrestrial species and studies of litter, with a team of ecologists
investigating floral ecology in the Argentine Littoral, with a group studying invasions of marine
organisms at a lab in Patagonia, and with geologists and palaeontologists working in the
Ischigualasto Provincial Park and Jachal.

Shirin Sabahi - Pocket Folklore

This book revolves around 'Matter and Mind' by Japanese artist Noriyuki Haraguchi, permanently
installed at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art since the museum's inauguration in 1977.
The sculpture consists of a steel basin filled with used engine oil. Visitors gradually started
throwing coins and other things into the pool over time, turning it into an unwilling wishing well.
Forty years on, Shirin Sabahi invited Haraguchi to restore his pool. The book includes a
previously unpublished booklet by the museum's first chief curator, which follows the logic of the
project, where Sabahi's films, Haraguchi's sculpture, and the sunken objects it holds sequentially
encase one another.

Michiel De Cleene - Reference Guide

Pb 24x32cm 176pp col ills £39.50
'Reference Guide' is a collection of entries connected and fuelled by cross-references. Not only
do these determine the characteristics of the collection and its use, but they are also the
mechanism behind its expansion. The entries are transcripts of moments when objects and
technologies challenge the strict boundaries that apply to them and emphasise their transitory
nature. The book therefore invites readers to construct their own path through the various entries,
a movement similar to that of navigating from one topic of interest to another in an encyclopaedia
or on Wikipedia - following a thread of curiosity from which a host of disparate yet associated
things can emerge.

Ari Marcopoulos – Entropy

Ari Marcopoulos was born in Amsterdam in 1957 and moved to New York in 1980, at the height
of the city's art scene. An artist, filmmaker, and photographer, his body of work includes portraits,
street scenes, and landscapes from places as diverse as Tokyo, Lebanon, New Orleans,
Brooklyn, and the California coast. His subjects have been musicians, celebrities, artists, and
friends, as well as the anonymous denizens of the boroughs he has wandered. His images are
saturated with movement and transformation, with outsiders, the underground, and the periphery,
with discontinuities and amnesia.

Erik van der Weijde – Bollenveld

Erik van der Weijde presents a series of photographs of Bollenveld, a futuristic housing project by
Dutch architect Dries Kreijkamp, situated in a residential area of 's-Hertogenbosch, the
Netherlands. The 50 'bolwoningen' ("ball-" or "bulb-houses") were built in 1984 using
prefabricated spheres of glass-fibre reinforced concrete. Each has a diameter of 5.5 metres and
total living area of 55 square metres. They are the last examples of houses that were funded by
the Dutch subsidy for experimental building, which was created in 1968.
