NYC - 'The Coming Insurrection by the Invisible Committee' Event (06.14.09)

SEMIOTEXT(E) Book Launch: The Coming Insurrection by the Invisible Committee

Sunday, June 14, 5 pm @ Barnes & Noble, Union Square, NY

“Two centuries of capitalism and market nihilism have brought us to the most extreme alienations—from ourselves, from others, from worlds. The fiction of the individual has decomposed with the same speed that it once became real. Children of the metropolis, we offer this wager: that it’s in the most profound deprivation of existence—perpetually stifled, perpetually conjured away—that the possibility of communism resides.”
—The Coming Insurrection, Introduction to the English edition

Disembodied Archetypes
by Tamy Ben-Tor and Miki Carmi

Regency Arts Press Ltd. is pleased to announce the publication of Disembodied Archetypes, a collaborative artist's book by Tamy Ben-Tor and Miki Carmi.  This is the first publication in 2X, Regency Arts Press Ltd.'s new series of collaborative books by two artists. 

Tamy Ben-Tor works in performance and video; Miki Carmi is a painter.  As a married couple, their ideas and processes feed off each other and germinate in each other's work, through a variety of overlaps and interchanges.  Disembodied Archetypes is a dissection and - being an artwork collaboratively made - recorded testimony of their separate yet often cross-pollinating artistic practices.  Disembodied Archetypes consists of notes, texts, snapshots, historical evidence, translations, diagrams, Old Master paintings, family photographs, studies, and a myriad of other materials that, when strung together, reveal the symbiosis and constant reinforming that takes place between the work of these two artists.

NYC - Eirik Johnson Event (05.26.09)

Eirik Johnson
Sawdust Mountain
Talk and Book Signing

Join photographer Eirik Johnson as he discusses work from Sawdust Mountain (Aperture, June 2009), his highly anticipated second monograph. A culmination of four years of photographing throughout Oregon, Washington, and Northern California, Sawdust Mountain focuses on the tenuous relationship between industries reliant upon natural resources and the communities they support. Johnson, a Seattle native, describes his photographs as “a melancholy love letter of sorts, my own personal ramblings.” Through this poetic approach, Sawdust Mountain records a region affected by historic economic complexities and, by extension, one aspect of our fraught relationship with the environment in the twenty-first century.
