Παρουσίαση
Paul Graham uses and abuses classic genres of photography-the portrait, the landscape, the still life-to map a cultural and geopolitical topography. This book brings together for the first time successive bodies of the British artist's work inspired by a series of journeys: via diners on the A1 road in Britain; the suburban streets and country lanes of Derry and Belfast; private apartments, public meeting places throughout Europe; and, increasingly in the 1990s, the cityscapes of Japan. His jewel-like colours and unsettling compositions reveal how historical traumas leak through to permeate the everyday. Graham's work has been celebrated in shows at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Fotomuseum, Winterthur and the Tate Gallery, London.Art historian Andrew Wilson has written extensively on contemporary European art and is author of Gustav Metzger 'Damaged Nature, Auto-Destructive Art'. He charts the development of Graham's most significant series as defined by the journeys the artist has taken, weaving relations between an emerging aesthetic and the specifics of time and place.
Paul Graham speaks with British artist Gillian Wearing, internationally renowned for her photographs and videos which explore the imaginary worlds of ordinary people. Focusing on a triptych from the New Europe series is the celebrated American writer Carol Squiers, Senior Editor at American Photo magazine and editor of The Critical Image: Essays on Contemporary Photography (1990). In juxtaposition with his work, Graham has chosen texts by Japanese authors Kazuo Ishiguro and Haruki Murakami. A series of notes by the artist and an interview with Lewis Baltz provide further insight. (From the publisher)
