Cetinje

The former capital until 1946, Cetinje was one of my favourite places in Montenegro. It was compact, and filled with lovely buildings and interesting museums. The old town centre is pedestrianised, and there isn’t much traffic anywhere else. A day there was the perfect amount of time to see literally everything. The best views of Cetinje are from Eagle Rock, which felt harder to climb that it…

Milestone Monday

On August 19, 1839, the French government announced that the patent it had acquired for Louis Daguerre’s, (1787-1851) photographic process, the daguerreotype, was a gift “free to the world” marking the first publicly available method of photography and sparking ages of modification and advancement within the medium. In 2010, August 19th was named National Photography Day, a celebration of the art, technology, and history of photography.  

In celebration of the day, we’re sharing a recent acquisition to our photobook collection Midwest Materials by Missouri photographer Julie Blackmon (b. 1966). Published by Radius Books in 2022, Midwest Materials features Blackmon’s fictitiously ethnographic color photographs of domestic life in Springfield, Missouri. In the introduction, journalist Leah Ollman describes Blackmon’s work as “serious mischief,” an evocation deeply felt in her vibrant scenes capturing the innocence and theatrics of childhood.

Majericon and the Arquivo Municipal de Lisboa (Lisbon Municipal Archives) announce the reprint of the book

Artur Pastor - Portugal, país de contrastes [Artur Pastor - Portugal, a country of contrasts] is a photographic guide to the legacy of Artur Pastor (1922-1999), one of the few Portuguese photographers who, between the 1940s and 1990s, left us a vast and extensive body of work in terms of representation of Portugal: a collection of tens of thousands of photographs, including 6×6 and 35mm negatives, in black and white or colour, slides and print proofs.

Taking as its starting point the text Portugal, a country of contrasts, written by Artur Pastor in April 1954 for the magazine Portugal Ilustrado, and his testimony “Portugal cannot be visited only with the eyes because it can also be felt in the heart”, this book constitutes a photographic guide to the legacy left by photographer Artur Pastor, evoking his ambivalent restlessness, around writing and photography, the coast and the interior or rurality and modernity. “Portugal is not just visited with the eyes, because it is also felt with the heart” , this book is a photographic guide to the legacy left by photographer Artur Pastor, evoking his ambivalent restlessness, around writing and photography, the coast and the interior or rurality and modernity.

Bringing together a selection of 250 black and white photographs, among the many that make up the estate acquired from his family by the Lisbon City Council in 2001, its aim is to showcase the work of this unique photographer and his vision of Portugal, a country that has disappeared and changed in the memory of the youngest, but reflects a present past for those who lived it.

In the selected images you will find an ethnographic survey of agricultural work, such as ploughing with oxen, sowing and harvesting, shepherds and their flocks, threshing on the threshing floor or mechanical threshing with a steam engine. In fishing activities: tuna fishing on the Algarve coast, the art of xávega in Nazaré with oxen pulling the boats, the preparation and drying of fish in baskets, the repair, transport and washing of nets, the distribution of fish in grids on the sand for the fish market in Sesimbra, crafts and crafts, fairs and markets, popular festivals, industry, urban and rural landscapes.

Presumably the photography belongs to the legacy of the ethnographer Klavdiy Shchennikov, who photographed a lot in the Vyatka land between 1909-1913.

Arthur Tress

Born in Brooklyn, New York, on November 24, 1940, Arthur Tress began his first camera work as a teenager in the surreal neighborhood of Coney Island where he spent hours exploring the decaying amusement parks. Later, during five years of world travel, mostly in Asia and Africa, he developed an interest in ethnographical photography that eventually led him to his first professional assignment as a U.S. government photographer recording the endangered folk cultures of Appalachia.

Seeing the destructive results of corporate resource extraction, Tress began to use his camera to raise environmental awareness about the economic and human costs of pollution. Focusing on New York City, he began to photograph the neglected fringes of the urban waterfront with a straight documentary approach. This gradually evolved into a more personal mode of “magic realism” combining improvised elements of actual life with stage fantasy that became his hallmark style of directorial fabrication. In the late 1960s Tress was inspired to do a series based upon children’s dreams that combined his interests in ritual ceremony, Jungian archetypes, and social allegory. Later bodies of work dealing with the hidden dramas of adult relationships and the reenactments of male homosexual desire evolved from this primarily theatrical approach.

"The book does a wonderful job of complicating histories of photography globally, and through a combination of historical and ethnographic work, shows the enduring but changing power of images in Senegal."

Simone Leigh (born 1967) is an USAmerican artist. She works in various media including sculpture, installations, video, performance, and social practice.

Leigh has described her work as auto-ethnographic, and her interests include #Africanart and vernacular objects, performance, and feminism. Her work is concerned with the marginalization of #womenofcolor and reframes their experience as central to society.

Leigh has often said that her work is focused on “Black female subjectivity,” with an interest in complex interplays between various strands of history. Via Wikipedia

Lorna Simpson (1960) is an USAmerican photographer and multimedia artist. She came to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s with artworks such as Guarded Conditions and Square Deal.

Simpson is most well-known for her work in conceptual photography. Her works have been included in numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally. She is best known for her photo-text installations, photo-collages, and films. Her early work raised questions about the nature of representation, identity, gender, race and history.

Amy Sherald www.amysherald.com

Amy Sherald (1973) is an USAmerican painter. She works mostly as a portraitist depicting #AfricanAmericans in everyday settings.

Her style is simplified realism, involving staged photographs of her subjects.

Since 2012, her work has used grisaille to portray skin tones, a choice she describes as intended to challenge conventions about skin color and race.

Christine Mathieu is an artist based in Montreuil, France. Fusing an ethnographic with an aesthetic approach, Mathieu weaves connections across ancient and contemporary cultures, in search for what makes us human. Her work, which combines sculpture, textile, photography and performance, reveals an interest in the shapes and objects that have transcended time (the headdress, parure, mask, bowl, etc), and which she interrogates as repositories of ancient skills and traditions.

Mathieu was born in the Jura mountains to an embroiderer mother and a stonemason father. She went on to study in Paris in the photography section at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, from which she graduated in 1984 with an award from Polaroid. After a three-year professional residency at the American Center in Paris, Mathieu launched her own graphic design studio, l’épicerie, that focused on developing signage design, scenography and visual identities for institutions dedicated to the preservation of history and heritage.

The photographs of the traditional headdresses are taken in the reserves of the MUCEM in Marseille and the Muséon Arlaten in Arles.
