DIVE and NY low and high are now part of the Indie #Photobook Library!
The Indie Photobook Library (iPL) was founded in 2010 by Larissa Leclair. It is an archive that strives to preserve and showcase self-published photobooks, photobooks independently published and distributed, photography exhibition catalogs, print-on-demand photobooks, artist books, zines, photobooks printed on newsprint, limited edition photobooks, and non-English language photography books to be seen in person through traveling exhibitions and as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to these kinds of books allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted in years, decades, and centuries to come.

My project: marble figures, life size, female, nude, formally posed, and with attributes in the form of weapons (modern firearms and knives of varying types and sizes). My techniques are anachronistic, following closely those of the late 18th / early 19th century. The softness and semi-transparency of good marble has a way of almost becoming flesh, in a way as much beautiful as it is obscene. It is also an ideal material for achieving exquisite contrasts between hard and soft, a quality I use more and more both in the figures and in the attributes round them.

A Road Divided by Todd Hido
A Road Divided by Todd Hido
Todd Hido’s new book of landscape photographs, A Road Divided, in which the artist again focuses his attention on the American landscape. Driving lonely roads on the outskirts of cities, Hido creates poignant images filled with inexplicable gravity, cinematic scenes of places that somehow exist in our collective memory. In these new pictures, Hido demonstrates his fluidity within the daytime realm, putting aside the harder edge that characterizes his night work by photographing through veils of rain or ice. Delicately, potently, embracing the beauty of the pictorial, Hido’s new pictures present an image plane that is often fully disintegrated, recalling impressionist painting. With an unquestionably modern effect, he often frames the compositions from inside his car, photographing straight through the windshield, using it as an additional lens and bringing a sense of timing and moment to these stationary scenes.

Ed Ruscha Twentysix Gasoline Stations, 1962 – Photographer
Ed Ruscha Twentysix Gasoline Stations, 1962 – Photographer
One afternoon in the late ’70s I asked Ruscha about his “Standard Stations” paintings: “These are standard stations, right? As in standardized stations?” Ruscha nodded. Then he said, “Yeah, but they’re also standard stations,” and a little bell went bing! Of course! Lapsed-Catholic Ruscha! Standard stations of the cross! Fourteen stations, minus the crucifixion. Thirteen stations from Los Angeles to the Calvary of Ed’s hometown in Oklahoma – then thirteen stations back to Los Angeles, refusing that sacrifice. Perfect.
