“The first era of photography: The British Library unveils an important archive of historic images tracing the development of the medium from its beginnings in 1839 to the early 1900s. For decades, a unique collection of historic photographs of the Orient lay forgotten at the Hamburg Museum of Ethnology; now, the stock of 18,000 pictures has been catalogued and made accessible. Jordan Bear reviews Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits by Linda Gordon and Daring to Look: Dorothea Lange’s Photographs and Reports from the Field by Anne Whiston Spirn (and more and more). A review of Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present (and more). Susan Sontag’s On Photography is an essential text for anyone working on the still image. Exposure time: Too often, photography is a tool of deception, but future technology could change all that. From Bomb, an interview with Mitch Epstein on American Power, a book of photographs dealing with energy production and consumption (and more and more). A makeshift world: For the photographer Thomas Demand, Germany is like any other country because it is haunted by history. The Restless Medium: A review of Why Photography Matters as Art as Never Before by Michael Fried. A review of Photography and Science by Kelley Wilder. A review of Photography and Literature by Francois Brunet. If you just want tips on cameras, try Popular Photography; however, if you value the art and culture of photography, give American Photo a look-see.

Caught part of the “Andrew Moore: Detroit” show at the Yancey Richardson Gallery 535 W. 22nd St., 3rd fl. (it’s on through Jan. 9) it got me thinking about his other work and came across this photo of Peck Slip, which has a long maritime history, serving as an East River slip used by boats to dock until 1810. Peck Slip once offered George Washington and his troops protection as they fled from the Battle of Brooklyn. More recently, it was used as a fish market parking lot until the Fulton Fish Market relocated to the Bronx in 2005.

If Gays Can Openly Serve, Will Straights Still Want To?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:36:45 -0500

If Gays Can Openly Serve, Will Straights Still Want To?:

“Opponents of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law scoff at such objections, saying they are born of fear and ignorance. Being openly gay doesn’t make someone a sexual predator, they say, and such insinuations insult the professionalism of gay troops already in the ranks who are concealing their sexual preference. They note that similar fears about damage to “unit cohesion” were raised generations ago to try to stop the racial integration of the armed forces.”

Celebromatic, the unlikely pairing of Lady Ga Ga and Frank Gehry. Singer Lady Gaga wears a hat designed by Frank Gehry, fabricated by Prada for Francesco Vezzoli’s “Ballets Russes Italian Style (The Shortest Musical You Will Never See Again)” at the MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) 30th anniversary gala in Los Angeles November 14, 2009.

There’s going to be a day Lady Gaga is on the can, reading a magazine, eating a sandwich, and a press release is going to go out because the designer hand soap dispenser failed. Boy, this bitch get’s the press. Clearly though, there’s something rather Carol Burnett gone wrong in a Bob Mackie gown about her.

Andy Warhol Lives:

Art News Covers Warhol Inc. The Brand; “Two decades after the artist’s death, the Andy Warhol brand is stronger than ever, as collectors continue to pay top prices for his work, curators study obscure aspects of his career, and consumers snap up products—from candy to condoms—plastered with his imagery.”

When The CIA Tried its Hand at Magic - [Magician] Mulholland’s instructions were written not for stage magicians, but for the covert operatives of the CIA. At the height of the Cold War - in the era of nuclear missiles and submarines, amid the tangled cloak-and-dagger maneuverings of espionage and counterespionage - the agency was also secretly doing something else. It was trying to learn to do magic.
