New Photography / Bieke Depoorter’s Oe Menia series
November 12, 2009 | New Photography | by Alison Zavos |
Bieke Depoorter’s photo series, Oe Menia, won the Magnum Expression Award and the Photo Academy Award for GUP magazine. Of the work, she says: ‘For three periods of one month, I have let the Trans-Siberian train guide me alongside forgotten villages, from living room to living room. Some Russian words scribbled on a little piece of paper allowed me to be welcomed and absorbed in the warm chaos of a family. Accidental encounters led me to the places where I could sleep. The living room, the epicentre of their life, establishes an intimate contact between the Russian inhabitants. This way, I experienced transient, but very powerful, shared moments. We communicated without words. We understood each other somehow’. Read more

New Photography / Snjezana Josipovic
November 9, 2009 | New Photography | by Gerry Mak |
I can’t quite explain it, but when I see really amazing photography, I hear a low rumbling in the back of my head sort of like a lot of the atmospheric sounds in Blue Velvet or sometimes a white noise like a distant ocean. The images of Croatian photographer Snjezana Josipovic certainly make me hear those sounds. Read more

New Photography / Francesco Giusti’s Congo series
November 5, 2009 | New Photography | by Alison Zavos |
Francesco Giusti lives and works in Rome. Of this photo series, he says, ‘In Congo-Brazzaville, SAPE is an old passion that has never stopped, not even during war years. At the arrival of the French in Congo, the myth of elegance was born among young people working for the settlers. In 1922, Andre Grenard Matsoua, well-known for his resistance to the settlers, was the first Congolese to come back from Paris dressed like a true French “Monsieur”, and greatly admired by all his fellow citizens. Today’s members of the SAPE consider themselves as artists and are respected and admired by the whole community’. Read more

New Photography / Brad Moore
October 30, 2009 | New Photography | by Gerry Mak |
Brad Moore’s photographs present the Magritte-like surrealism and repetition of post-war, suburban Californian architecture. Neither sentimental nor critical, Moore’s images are frightening and lonely in their emptiness, but beautiful and lyrical in their symmetrical compositions. Read more

New Photography / David Hlynsky
October 28, 2009 | New Photography | by Gerry Mak |
Between 1986 and 1990, photographer David Hlynsky documented shop windows and restaurants across communist Europe, documenting an awkward relationship people in those countries had with capitalism. He intentionally avoided photographing people and dramatic moments, attempting to draw out the differences between East and West via the ways in which the storefronts were decorated and arranged.

New Photography / Armed America portraits by Kyle Cassidy
October 20, 2009 | New Photography | by The Uncool Hunter |
The Armed America website compiles portraits of the owners of weapons in America. Photographer and writer Kyle Cassidy traveled more than 12,000 miles for more than two years taking pictures of armed Americans in their houses, all the while looking for the answer to the complex question: ‘Why do you own a gun?’ Cassidy’s work has become an item of incalculable value, not only because of its conceptual strength, but also because of the description of the way of living, feeling and thinking of many inhabitants of America.

How many times can we play the same song in different settings? Hmmm, I don’t know. But it is a hell of a song, from a hell of a band, as that uniquely English oddity, Jules Holland would no doubt concur.
TheStar69 track So What Is The News is the very personification of great pop. In fact, it takes bits and pieces of the best music the The Cult, Hall & Oates and The Steve Miller Band ever recorded and messes it up with a well-honed, Scottish sense of mischief. We like.

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.
