Inspiring Global Picture Book - A Day in the World

A Day in the World ISBN: 978-1-60887-146-9 Hardcover | $50.00 | 512 Pages November 2012

Inspiring Global Picture Book, A Day in the World, Is the First Time Capsule of Its Kind SAN RAFAEL, CA, November 2012 - On May 15th, 2012, people from around the globe picked up their cameras to record their lives, and A Day in the World is the result. This inspiring project, the first time capsule of its kind, is an extraordinary worldwide account of an ordinary day, celebrating diversity, connections, and the human spirit with vibrant imagery. Professionals and amateur shutterbugs alike are featured in this beautiful edition, the most comprehensive photographic documentation of daily life ever made. Based on the philosophy that everyone's life matters, contributors come from areas as varied as the earth itself: farmers, fishermen, office workers, and award-winning photojournalists. Tribal areas and urban sprawl, intimate portraits and riotous events, A Day in the World captures a global scope with the candor only a photograph can capture. Participants utilized whatever photographic means was at their disposal to document their lives, from crisp high-tech point-and-shoots to cell phones and old-fashioned cameras, creating a touchingly varied perspective. This book presents the first global photography project that incorporates top talent with the general public. The brainchild of the movement Aday.org, this unique project celebrates the power of photography to encourage cultural understanding. An interactive site was the hub for the project, and then, an international jury selected the best one thousand images. Ultimately, A Day in the World is not only an around-the-globe ticket for the armchair traveler, it is an invaluable record of the people on our planet, sure to spark reflections on humankind for generations to come. Expressions of Humankind: A Day in the World launched from Aday.org, a branch of the foundation Expressions of Humankind. The foundation supports scientific research and education focused on the photographic image and the written word. The aim is to inspire creative reflections on humanity, by experiencing global perspectives. The foundation's council includes Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sir Richard Branson, singer/songwriter Robyn and a host of other luminaries and advocates for the project.

Fictitious Truths - Exercises in Realism

Eric Doeringer    Carol Hepper    Sarah McDougald Kohn    Liz Nielsen    Ryan Roa    Henry Sanchez    Arlene Shechet

In 1943, employed as a dive-bomber for the German military, Joseph Beuys was shot down by Russian flak in a snowstorm over the Crimea region—and one of the art world’s greatest fictions was born. Indeed, throughout history, the cloak and dagger of illusion has reigned in the world of art. In the momentary slippage between image/text, the slightest shift of a frame, or the interaction of subject with object, a world of possibilities presents itself.

In probing the limits of visibility we have found that most things are in fact, unseen. As we feel for it in shadows and hidden corners, reality tauntingly leers back at us. How we choose to answer that challenge is both an exercise in personal fortitude and creative flexibility. Such action’s residual objects, the fleeting anchors of a distant reality, are those of another world – one where the organic fuses with the mechanical, nature and technology coalesce and fact irreparably merges with fiction. The works in Fictitious Truths live within that intermediary space, in its flexibility, subjectivity and potential for alternatives.  Culling from a variety of mediums—sculpture and photography, video and installation—the conceptual nature of the work presented examines such topics as the exploration of personal identity, the analysis of consumer culture (and by extension the art market), and the re-creation of political histories. It is not only the blurring of space and time that interests these artists but also the notion of shifting focus—from what we perceive to be around us to what is actually present—for if we are destined to fumble ceaselessly in the dark, a flashlight is always a good idea.

Extraordinary Close-up Photographs Reveal and Amazing New Perspective on Seeds, One of the Smallest Units of Life

Seeds Time Capsules of Life Rob Kesseler & Wolfgang Stuppy Preface by Prince Charles HRH The Prince of Wales ISBN: 978-1-60887-111-7 Hardcover | $35.00 | 264 Pages October 2012 Extraordinary Close-up Photographs Reveal and Amazing New Perspective on Seeds, One of the Smallest Units of Life SAN RAFAEL, CA, October 2012 - The power of seeds as small pods that are self-contained life forces is as fascinating as their artfully functional structure. The sublime images in Seeds afford an unprecedented view into a most astonishing microcosm, where even the tiniest examples are exquisitely beautiful and sophisticated. Seeds are the most complex organs plants produce. The first seeds appeared some 360 million years ago. Since then they have developed into highly sophisticated propagules that have enabled plants to dominate the earth's surface and conquer almost every possible habitat, from the Antarctic to the hottest deserts. The diversity of shapes and sizes encountered in seeds is nearly endless and ranges from the impressive Seychelles nut at 44 pounds to the dustlike seeds of the orchids. No matter how small, packed into every seed is the complete genetic information needed to give rise to a new plant, whether it is a tiny herb or a giant rainforest tree. True time capsules of life, seeds may travel thousands of miles and, if necessary, wait for hundreds of years before germinating. Seeds constitutes an essential source book not only for those fascinated by the natural world, but also for artists, designers, and anyone interested in the development of biological structures. Scientists and critics around the world have called visual artist Rob Kesseler's work "mystifying," "astounding," and "awe-inspiring." Seeds' majestic bright, popping colors, mesmerizing geometry, and accessible text make it a coffee-table treasure. This brand-new edition features a preface by His Royal Highness Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, who is an avid conservationist. Wolfgang Stuppy is the seed morphologist at the Millennium Seed Bank Project, an international initiative dedicated to seed conservation managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. He holds a doctorate in comparative seed morphology and anatomy and lives in London. Visual artist Rob Kesseler is a professor, lecturer, and a NESTA Fellow at Kew. His artwork was featured in solo exhibitions at the V&A Museum (London) and the City Museum and Art Gallery (Stoke), among others. He lives in London. His Royal Highness Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, serves as president of the Prince's Charities, the largest multicause charitable enterprise in the UK. This group of twenty not-for-profit organizations actively works to improve education, public health, and the environment.
