Gus Van Sant, Tom Sachs, Bruce Wolf’s cat in new issue of Arkitip

… The Hollywood-based studio Arkitip approaches magazine publishing as a form of artmaking, conceiving each issue of its eponymous publication as a desirable, visually dynamic object in its own right. The studio—which also produces clothing and other merchandise—has taken on a broad variety of themes since the magazine’s first issue, which measured a diminutive 10 [...]

Today’s NYT Lens blog: Lauren Greenfield’s “Dubai”

… I first wrote about Lauren’s photo essay on Dubai back in August, when the images appeared in Fast Company, Das, and Zeit magazines. If you’ve been following the news, you know the story has continued to build to a potentially devastating ending: There have been reports that the government of Dubai might default on [...]

Walter Iooss on “Changing the Game”

… … Walter has written about his exhibition at the Annenberg for The Huffington Post. Well, I think he wrote it, though he might have just said the words and someone else wrote it all down. It’s hard to tell, since at the end of the piece, it says the text was “dictated” at the [...]

Terrific press for “Sport: Iooss and Leifer”

… Friday was the opening night of “Sport: Iooss and Leifer” at the Annenberg Space for Photography, and what a spectacular evening it was. So many people turned out (including photographer/actress Alexandra Hedison) that it was shoulder-to-shoulder, with the many pro athletes in attendance towering above the rest of this. They look so much smaller [...]

Roxanne Lowit photographs “Italian Touch” party

..   … Venerable luxury shoemaker TOD’s has collaborated with fashion journalist Donatella Sartorio on a new coffee-table book that celebrates all things Italian, and advances the idea that the Italians have really good taste (let’s face it, they do). Italian Touch—which Vanity Fair praised as “a rich sampling of Italian life”—features photos of people [...]

Let us now praise rock photographers

.. It seems like everyone wants to be a rock star. Rock stardom symbolizes power, adoration, rebelliousness, individuality with impunity, and really cool clothes. But I wonder if the myth of the rock star would loom as large if not for rock photographers, who harnessed the electric appeal of these performers and their lives and [...]

… … It has been quite a week for Nadav. On Monday at the Lucies, the IPA named him International Photographer of the Year in the editorial category. And yesterday, at the Passage de Retz in Paris, Kofi Annan announced that Nadav is the winner of the prestigious Prix Pictet. Congratulations, Nadav! We’re chuffed, to [...]
