We are delighted to announce
that issue 14 of our online magazine is now live. To view it, please go to: www.1000wordsmag.com
This issue is dedicated to
the memory of Rosina Darch (1924-2012).
For this Autumn edition we
have chosen the theme of ‘Murmur’. Silent vibrations and fugitive apparitions,
the imagery showcased here derives its brilliance in the shape of its
understatement, and the art at its core. Artists who translate lived experience
into a pattern of photography that preserves its vitality, drawing out
psychological complexities and subtleties. They are storytellers, yet their voices
are calm, measured and appropriate.
Exploring that which
connects and concerns the photography we have brought together, Louise Clements reports back on Eva Stenram’s ‘gently feminist’ exhibition
which formed part of The Discovery Award at this year’s Les Rencontres d’Arles;
also plucked from the French festival is the ethereal and melancholic work of Belarus
photographer Alexandra Catiere whose
series Here, Beyond The Mists is accompanied by a text from Natasha Christia; Lucy Davies of The Daily Telegraph describes a path through the
work of recent RCA graduate Regine
Petersen in particular Find a Falling Star, a project about Meteorites and
everything; Brad Feuerhelm meets Esther Teichmann and bring us an insightful
interview with the German-American artist, looking at the origins of fantasy
and desire and how these are bound to experiences of loss and representation.
Elsewhere, Anouk Kruithof serves up a lively
(inte)review with the formidable artist duo Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin
on the occasion of their latest photobook, a collection of Polaroids that ‘forms
an intimate and imperfect inventory of their fifteen-year collaboration’, produced in collaboration with Self Publish Be
Happy; and finally, Gerry Badger discusses Paul Graham’s The Present, his much anticipated volume which
explores both photography’s relationship with time, the ‘present’, and the
nature of photographic narrative, or in this case, with non-narrative.
In our dedicated Books
section, David Moore lays bare the
facts about Lise Safarti’s She, Michael Grieve gives his verdict on
Soho, the latest in an ongoing series of city studies by Anders Petersen while Brad
Feuerhelm ponders the authenticity of Nicholas
Comment’s Mexico City Waltz.
Once again, 1000 thanks to our photographers and writers, editorial and art departments as well as of course our advertisers and funders for making this magazine possible.
