About This Item
Boston: Houseboat Press, , 2015. Rilegato pelle (leather binding). Ottimo (Fine). 25 fotografie in bianco e nero della seconda guerra mondiale con interventi digitali dell'Autore. Ogni libro è unico poichè la copertina è ricavata da originali raccoglitori vintage di fotografie. 16mo (15x22 cm). pp. 42. Ottimo (Fine). Prima edizione numerata e firmata al colophon. Esemplare 1/1 (First Edition, signed and numbered 1/1 by the Author). Fotografie militari della seconda guerra mondiale oscurate tramite sovrapposizioni di figure geometriche colorate. Le immagini sosno state stampate digitalmente, serigrafate, fotoincise e incollate in album e taccuini d'epoca.
Stampato digitalmente in Boston, MA. Le dimensioni variano per ogni libro d'artista.
Arthurs è anche un membro fondatore di Houseboat Press, una casa editrice di fotografia che ha esposto in fiere nazionali e internazionali di libri d'arte tra cui: OFFPRINT Parigi, LA Art Book Fair, Aperture Foundation New York, e il Yale Museum of Art, New Haven.
Il contenuto prende come punto di partenza fotografie d'epoca ritrovate di uomini dell'esercito. Ma poi Arthurs porta le immagini da tutt'altra parte, serigrafando forme dai colori vivaci sopra le figure di ogni immagine, oscurando e mettendo in evidenza gli uomini contemporaneamente. Il risultato è un corpo di lavoro che può essere letto a molti livelli, ma sono state le origini del materiale di partenza - fotografie di militari nel tempo libero - che hanno portato Arthurs alla forma attuale del libro. Incapace di mostrare l'intero corpo di lavoro in una mostra, Arthurs voleva produrre un piccolo libro unico per mostrare tutte le immagini disponibili. La sua soluzione è stata quella di inserire le sue immagini in album militari d'epoca. Questi particolari album possono essere difficili da trovare oggi, ma erano estremamente comuni durante la seconda guerra mondiale, il periodo in cui sono state scattate molte delle fotografie originali.
The content takes vintage found photographs of men in the military as its starting point. But then Arthurs takes the pictures someplace else entirely by screen printing brightly colored shapes over the figures in each image — simultaneously obscuring and highlighting the men. The result is a body of work that can be read on many levels, but it was the origins of the source material — photographs of servicemen at leisure — that led Arthurs to the very successful physical form of his book.
Unable to show the full body of work at an exhibition, Arthurs wanted to produce a small one-off book to show all of the images available for sale. His solution was to insert his images into a vintage military album. These particular albums can be challenging to find today, but they were extremely common during World War II, the period in which many of the original photographs were taken.
WWII era military photographs that have been colorfully obscured. Digital prints of silk-screened images, photo-cornered and adhered into vintage albums and scrapbooks.
Digitally printed. Boston, MA USA.
Size varies with each artist book.
Arthurs is also a founding member of Houseboat Press, a photography publishing company that has exhibited at both national and international art book fairs including; OFFPRINT Paris, the LA Art Book Fair, Aperture Foundation New York, and the Yale Museum of Art, New Haven.
