Hannah Darabi - Unreal City

Unreal City
Hannah Darabi
Artist book
Number of pages: 40
Type of printing: digital
Self-published
Limited edition of 30 copies, all copies are hand made by the artist, signed and numbered
NB: only 4 copies left per April 17!!
Size of the book: 19 x 29 cm
Price : 200euros + shipping

"Unreal City is a series of photographs of construction projects in three different countries (Iran, France, and the United States). Having grown up in Tehran, I was looking in abroad for an opportunity to reactivate the imaginary associated with this city: a construction site. Playing a contradictory role in the urban scene, the sites contain both signs of construction and ruin, a silent off-field of the city, something that is hidden, as it is usually hidden in the theater,  the change of scenery. These perpetual construction-ruins metaphorically represent the traces of the war in the urban area (starting with the Iran-Iraq war), as well as the economic crisis of a country in search of a new identity."

George Underwood - Freedom

Title: Freedom

Artist: George Underwood

Type: Perfect bound Book

48 Pages 

8" Square

Printing: Offset Digital

Price: 10$ USD

"Freedom features 20 large format photographs dealing with the American landscape, patriotism and human relationships. With subjects ranging from a small town's 4th of July celebration to the city of Manhattan in the wake of hurricane Sandy, but amongst the large scopes and chaos, he also manages to capture the passionate expressions of individuals and their intimate connections to one another. These connections evoke a duality between the American notion of freedom, exemplified by the location and scope of his scenes, and the interconnectedness that the people in these places inhabit. This constant need for human contact contradicts the very notion of freedom."

"In A Romance in Pictures, Calvin Lee investigates the abstract spaces of desire conditioned in representation. Drawing from his archive of magazine advertisement tear pages, Lee selects, appropriates, and merges images to create collaged compositions. The manipulation of the ads explores technological applications and the digital form in its own self-reflexive plasticity."

Aaron McElroy - After Wake

After Wake
Aaron McElroy
6 x 8 in.
94 pages
Edition of 100
20 signed & numbered copies include one of four signed 5x7 inch photographs by the artist.
Price is $28 ($100 signed)

"After Wake is a collection of visual fragments & anonymous female subjects from the artist’s daily life. Separated from the minutia of McElroy’s lived reality, however, the photographs also allow for an endless drift of fictitious suggestion & voyeurism. After Wake can be a half-alert morning recollection of disjointed dreams. Or it's a catalog of contradictory eyewitness accounts. It may also be selections from the visual diaries & detritus of a life-long peeping tom. Perhaps it's a snapshot paper trail of lovely women from a savant's poetic thoughts. Or it's the happy Saturday memories of two lovers, tinged by the banal possessions of a soiled suburban life. It may also be something like the outtakes from a B movie chronicling pleasure, grotesque beauty, infidelity, addiction, abuse & redemption. In short, After Wake is a collection of provoking photographs by McElory that eschews concept & meaning in favor of imagination & a stream of inchoate ideas."
