101 Tragedies is Enrique Metinidess choice of the 101 key images from his life photographing crime scenes and accidents in Mexico for local newspapers and the nota roja (or red pages, for their bloody content) crime press. Alongside each image, extended captions give his account of the situation depicted, describing the characters and life of the streets, the sadness of families, the criminals, and the heroism of emergency workersrevealing much about himself in the process. Selected photographs are also paired with their original newsprint tearsheets, collected by Metinides. The photographs have been compiled by Trisha Ziff, a filmmaker and curator who knows Metinides well, and who also contributes an essay about his life, work, and personality. Since all of Metinidess previous books are out of print, or strictly for art audiences, this will be the only book in print about his life and work. It is also the only Metinides book comprised of images chosen by the photographer himself, and which offers his own account of his lifes work. An accompanying exhibition, which launched at Rencontres dArles in July 2011, is being toured to venues in Europe and the Americas.

On Duty
This exhibition will feature 60 photographs by three important historic photographers - a Swiss policeman, Arnold Odermatt; a Mexican photojournalist, Enrique Metinides; and New York's Arthur Fellig, known as "Weegee". All three, while on duty in their respective professions, crossed the line of simply documenting accidents and day-to-day mayhem. The content of the imagery, often tragic, transcends the rawness of the event and moves into the realm of a modernist aesthetic that is both profound and thought provoking. Weegee, Metinides, and Odermatt can be thought of as examples of outsider artists who, like other outsider artists, wittingly or not, presaged ideas and concepts that were developed more willfully by later practitioners working in their medium, in this instance photography. Because of the nature of their creation, one needs have no special knowledge to appreciate these works: what you see is what you see. They are eminently approachable to even the casual viewer - a refreshing counterpoint to the insider obscurity that shrouds so much contemporary art produced today.
