Book excerpt: The golden age of the American Wrestling Association, as documented by a nine-year-old boy in 1960s Omaha Mad Dog Vachon, "Tarzan Tyler," Masao "Rusher" Kimura--the ring names of the wrestlers who grappled for glory in the American Wrestling Association were as evocative as they were hair-raising. In 1969, the Swiss-born photographer Darius Koehli (born 1960), then just nine years old, spent nine months with his father in Omaha, Nebraska, where a neighbor took him to the hottest spot in town, the Civic Auditorium, to see some catch wrestling. With a remarkable eye for slapstick, and using his brand-new Kodak Instamatic, Koehli produced hundreds of snapshots of these formidable hulks, during and after their bouts. In the summer of 2019, Koehli uncovered the photo album he'd assembled 50 years ago in Omaha and decided to revitalize the pictures of this extraordinary time. The selection featured in Why Omaha?provides a glimpse of a bygone era in which professional wrestling was just taking off, enrapturing TV audiences.
Download or read book Familiar Territory written by Jon Naiman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Familiar Territory' we find portrayals of farm animals together with their owners. However, instead of being situated in a stall or field, they are pictured in the midst of peoples' living quarters. The emotional connections that exist between animals and humans find multiple expressions here, and are also effectively questioned. American photographer Jon Naiman invokes the traditions of portrait and documentary photography as a way to investigate culture, habitat, domesticity, family and gender roles, as well as our relationship with animals. Although the photographs are orchestrated and carefully composed, Naiman has managed to capture moments of intimacy.

Book Synopsis Walter Pfeiffer by : Walter Pfeiffer
Download or read book Walter Pfeiffer written by Walter Pfeiffer and published by Patrick Frey Edition. This book was released on 2001 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Pfeiffer, whose work in the 1970s and 1980s prefigured many of the decisive developments in contemporary art today, is a classic artist's artist--famous and beloved among art aficionados, yet almost forgotten by the public at large. Now, it's the time to discover him as his images seem timelier than ever. Welcome Aboard! Photographs 1980-2000 is, at the same time, a monograph on Pfeiffer's photographic work and an artist's book, a photo-novel all of its own. Pfeiffer takes you on a long trip from suburban bliss to the horse race at Ascot, from wind-swept beaches to majestic mountain tops. Pfeiffer knows our dreams and artfully plays with them. In his still lives, landscapes, and portraits of beautiful boys and mischievous women, Pfeiffer celebrates his quest for beauty and glamour with sophistication, irony, and wit. Pfeiffer leads you in a world between reality and reverie, snapshot and mise-en-scene. It's a photo album from Arcadia. With simple means Pfeiffer creates intelligent and classic images of beauty and bliss, imbued with a wistful awareness of their artifice. Stylish, suggestive, and erotic, his images are an encyclopedia of desire.
Book Synopsis Folklig Idrott by : Maximilian Stejskal
Download or read book Folklig Idrott written by Maximilian Stejskal and published by Patrick Frey Edition. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maximilian Stejskal (19061991), an ethnologist and gymnastics teacher from Helsinki, carried out a study for his PhD thesis on folk athletic contests amongst Finlands Swedish-speaking male rural population between 1929 and 1937, and then again in 1948. Each year, Stejskal set off on his green Italian bicycle with two bellows cameras and glass photographic plates in a rucksack across southeastern Finland and Finnish Estonia. He systematically collected images of fast-disappearing folk athletics, recording elderly farmers and craftsmens tales of the exercises and tests of strength and courage with which they proved their virility in their youth. Their sons, relatives and farmhands were asked to perform the exercises in front of Stejskals camera. This slender, oversized publication includes a selection of these bizarre and often humorous images, enlarged and reproduced as full bleeds with titles such as Crawling away from your sins and Upend the apprentice, making this a source book of strangely compelling performative imagery.

Book Synopsis 1972 - at home and on the way by : Martin Jaeggi
Download or read book 1972 - at home and on the way written by Martin Jaeggi and published by Patrick Frey Edition. This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filmmaker Iwan Schumacher, known for his portraits of artists, bought a small camera in early 1972 and took it with him everywhere he went. The camera became his notebook. Schumacher subsequently gave himself up to the lure of the landscapes, people and mood-changing lighting that he came across. With his little Canon he could shoot away without intention, without prescribed subject or theme, much the way we take pictures with cell phones today. Schumacher spent the first half of 1972 in England, where he?d been teaching photography at an art school for a year and a half. After his return to Switzerland he assisted on a documentary film and got to work on making his own first film. Over time his interest in continuing his photographic diary waned till in late 1972 he stopped taking pictures altogether and devoted himself entirely to film.
Download or read book Index written by and published by Patrick Frey Edition. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 1200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maybe it?s because I?m not a very good draftsman, collage feels like a more natural approach to sketching and developing ideas. I cut and paste and use my photocopier as a quick way to experiment and develop ideas. My work is all about finding, sampling, appropriating images and sounds, and transforming them. The found image is usually what triggers a thought process?formulating ideas or simply reaffirming latent thoughts. It?s a way to instantly mediate an image and get a little distance from it. Accidents are also often revealing. Like the camera, or any video editing software, the photocopier is just another tool.? ? Christian Marclay00Marclay?s compilation of hundreds of high-contrast black-and-white Xeroxes are like scribblings in a notebook, the first stages of experimentation towards more finished works, a glimpse into the artist?s creative process. This book brings together the source material that has informed Marclay?s practice over the past few years. It was designed in collaboration with Laurent Benner, a graphic designer who has worked with Marclay on various other books and record covers. Their shared sensibility informs this beautiful new book.
Download or read book Real Nazis written by Piotr Uklanski and published by Patrick Frey Edition. This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Glamorous impersonations of evil: In the fall of 1999 Edition Patrick Frey published 'The Nazis', which soon became a legendary cult book. It has long since been out of print and remains highly coveted to this day. While 'The Nazis' showed stills of actors playing Nazis in various Hollywood movies, Polish artist Piotr Uklanksi has now juxtaposed them with the real thing: Nazi party bigwigs, decorated 'war heroes' and war criminals. Painstakingly culled from a great many different archives, this follow-up compilation superimposes fact on fiction, the stagey, propagandistic imagery of the Third Reich on the mockup Nazi iconography of Hollywood, revealing an uncanny, even spooky, resemblance between the play-acting and real-life exponents of evil. 'Real Nazis', using the same format and production values as its predecessor, is the 'real' brother that now seems an ugly reflection of that 'glamorous' artist's book 'The Nazis'"--Publisher's website (viewed on December 7, 2017).
Download or read book The Great Unreal written by Nico Krebs and published by Patrick Frey Editions. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a period of three years Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs traveled several months through the United States, working "on the road" on the photo series The Great Unreal. The photographic work deals with reality and the fabrication of reality. The geography of America serves as both setting and fertile ground for the examination. Mysticism and demystification are important aspects in this process, as is working with a rich inventory of visual icons that can be continually deconstructed and manipulated. The working method of both photographers is based on interventions prescribed mostly by happenstance and change. Through repetition and associative placement, the sometimes crude, sometimes subtle interventions begin to link to one another, establishing an exciting transformation of reality that only hesitatingly reveals itself to the viewer. Together with book designers Megi Zumstein and Claudio Barandun, what emerged is an unmitigated picture book that makes a visual journey possible without any instructions. It comprises narrative image sequences that approximate the curiosity and restlessness of being on the move and, at the same time, depict associative connections with the American landscape.

Download or read book Mom written by and published by Patrick Frey Edition. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book's title reveals the identity of its protagonist: Kathleen McCain Engman has been posing for her son Charlie since 2009. And yet "MOM" shows us a face we never really get to know: while we soon become acquainted with her freckled complexion and intense gaze, her position in the images becomes increasingly unclear. Engman first began shooting his mother because she was available, ever-willing to meet the demands of one of her children. But what began as a casual, organic process evolved into an intense collaboration. The result is neither a family album nor a filial tribute but a much deeper and far more complex interaction: one that raises questions about the limits of familiarity, the rules and boundaries of roles and representation, vulnerability and control, and what it means to look and to be seen.

The young painters Paris studio doubled as a hub of radical paintingconceptually reduced black circles on a white canvasand a hangout for the first Marxist-influenced motorcycle club. WHEELS is an in-depth survey that retraces Mossets career from his involvement with the minimalist art group BMPT to his interplay between motor vehicles and painting. In the mid 1970s, Mosset worked and lived in new York, where he became the founding member of the nY Radical Painting Group before eventually moving to Arizona. Art critic elisabeth Wetterwald interviews Mosset and American artist vincent Szarek, who often collaborates with Mosset, discussing the interface between art and motorcycles. Art historian Philip Ursprung analyzes the importance of technology, culture, and nature. Mosset is represented by Gagosian Gallery, and his work appears in the collections of MoMA, new York, and Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, among others.
