Overzicht van het werk van de Nederlandse popkunstenaar (1948- ).

Published to coincide with the presentation of the Hasselblad Award in Photography 2000 to Boris Mikhailov, and an exhibition of his work at the Hasselblad Center, Goteborg. This book includes photographs from the series entitled Dance.

The themes of the Dutch Eyes exhibition were chosen for their significance to the history of photography as well as to the country's cultural history. Areas of particular interest include distinctive 19th-century photographs taken by engineers, the debate about photography's status as an art form at the start of the 20th century, the catastrophic flood in 1953, the former colonies, and \U+2018\the self-critical gaze'. This thematic approach makes it possible to see work by famous photographers alongside work by unknown figures who wielded the camera. The exhibition includes an abundance of work that has never previously been shown, from collections including those of the Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Leiden University's Print Room, Amsterdam City Archives and the Nederlands Fotomuseum.

This publication presents 16 contemporary South African artists, including Jane Alexander and William Kentridge.

"From the very beginning when the first exhibition premiered at the newly opened Opera House in 1973, our aim was to bring ao Australia the latest developments in contemporary art from around the world...The Biennale of Sydney 2000 continues this outstanding tradition..." --p. 6.

The Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century Photography explores the vast international scope of twentieth-century photography and explains that history with a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary manner. This unique approach covers the aesthetic history of photography as an evolving art and documentary form, while also recognizing it as a developing technology and cultural force. This Encyclopedia presents the important developments, movements, photographers, photographic institutions, and theoretical aspects of the field along with information about equipment, techniques, and practical applications of photography. To bring this history alive for the reader, the set is illustrated in black and white throughout, and each volume contains a color plate section. A useful glossary of terms is also included.

A very special and highly respected South Africa artist, Sue has many links to the international art world. She has exhibited in Cuba, Iceland and Greece.

Cities form an organic development of their own. Underground initiatives give also rise to gradual shifts on the surface. Portrait of Rotterdam and of its creative class, that launched a lot of fruitful initiatives. Cultural entrepreneurs founded theatre and dance groups to do something positive for the community. Artists choose Rotterdam because there is space to work. Survey of activities of the Rotterdam Council and of the permanent cultural battle between Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Rotterdam also is an attractive stage set for flashy television commercials, drama series and films. Review in: Boekman. 19(2007)71(zomer. 106-109).

Presenting the works of 50 contemporary artists and photographers from around the world, Strangers explores the different roles the camera now plays in negotiating the boundaries between public and private life, trust and fear, intimacy and isolation. Accompanying the first recurring exhibition of its kind devoted to photography and related media at the International Center of Photography in New York, Strangers investigates the social world through images that have been created as a result of encounters with people unknown to one another. In addition to the more personal and psychological aspects of estrangement, the artists in Strangers also engage with the theme of globalization and diaspora--an especially timely subject in its geopolitical ramifications. Strangers includes illuminating biographical essays on each of the artists and their works; four original essays by ICP curators Brian Wallis, Christopher Phillips, Carol Squiers and Edward Earle that explore the ever-evolving and prescient theme of strangers; and approximately 200 images generated in a variety of media from traditional and digital processes to multimedia installations and video. Artists represented include Olivio Barbieri, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Luc Delahaye, Rineke Dijkstra, David Goldblatt, Bill Henson, Susan Meiselas, Shirin Neshat, John Schabel and Joel Sternfeld, among others.
