Useful Photography
Fashion design is not a category usually associated with war, but in fact it is a consideration that all war-mongers must take into account when they are planning battles, be they naval or air, military or rebel, national or international. Every country in the world has its own camouflage--can you tell from the various patterns which country is trying to hide from you? "Useful Photography No. 4: The War Special" exhibits what different countries wear when they go to war and the products that keep them hidden on the front lines.

The Many Lives of Erik Kessels (Signed Edition)
The Many Lives of Erik Kessels presents the highly anticipated first illustrated survey of this pioneering and influential curator, editor, and artist whose varied experiments with photography and photographic archives have allowed us to reconsider the medium's vernacular and narrative possibilities in today's inundated image landscape. People consume photographs, says Kessels, they don't look at them anymore. This volume is a primer on how to look--and how to better understand the hybrid practice of this artist who defies categorization. Including more than twenty of the artist's series and features essays by Simon Baker, Hans Aarsman, and curator Francesco Zanot, The Many Lives of Erik Kessels is published in conjunction with a major midcareer retrospective at CAMERA-Centro Italiano per la Fotografia in Turin, Italy.
Erik Kessels and Thomas Sauvin: Talk Soon
A wordless, quarantined dialogue in flipbook form Every day, throughout that tumultuous spring of 2020, Dutch artist Erik Kessels (born 1966) and French artist Thomas Sauvin (born 1983) sent one another idiosyncratic, uncaptioned photographs, catalyzing an organic, free-associative exchange of some 120 archival images. Atelier Éditions' author Kingston Trinder then composed an equally free-associative, altogether-whimsical narrative with which to further entwine the duo's eclectic photographs. These two archives of vernacular photography, one from the East, the other from the West, achieve a dialogue through the recurrence of photographic practices, aesthetics and subjects. Talk Soon, a tearaway postcard book with a spiral binding, allows readers to endlessly juxtapose the delightful photographs selected by the two quarantined artists.

Incredibly Small Photobooks
Tiré du site Internet http://www.artpapereditions.org: "For several years, Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have organized evenings for friends in which they share the strangest photo books in their collections. The books shown are rarely available in regular shops, but are picked up in thrift stores and from antiquaries. The group's fascination for these pictorial non-fiction books comes from the need to find images that exist on the fringe of regular commercial photo books. It's only in this area that it's possible to find images with an uncontrived quality. This constant tension makes the books interesting. It's also worth noting that these tomes all fall within certain categories : the medical, instructional, scientific, sex, humour or propaganda. Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have made a selection of their finest books from within this questionable new genre. Incredibly small photobooks is the second volume (after Terribly awesome photobooks) showing this amazing collection."
Terribly Awesome Photobooks
Durante varios años, Paul Kooiker y Erik Kessels organizaban sesiones en las que compartían los álbumes de fotos más extraños de sus colecciones. Los libros que mostraban rara vez están disponibles en las tiendas normales, pero se recogen en tiendas de segunda mano y anticuarios. La fascinación del grupo por estos libros pictóricos de no ficción proviene de la necesidad de encontrar imágenes que existen al margen de los fotolibros comerciales habituales. Solo en esta área es posible encontrar imágenes con calidad incontrolada. Lo notable de estas publicaciones es que hay una delgada línea entre ser terrible y ser increíble. Esta tensión constante hace que los libros sean interesantes. estos volúmentes caen dentro de ciertas categorías: médicos, de instrucción, científicos, sexo, humor o propaganda. Paul Kooiker y Erik Kessels han hecho una selección de sus mejores libros de este cuestionable nuevo género.

Aren?t we also some kind of ?strange animals??0Erik Kessels made an intervention in the zoological museum with a series of his collected, found and ...
Image Tsunami
We live in the midst of a photographic renaissance where we have become accustomed to consuming images with the same voracity and delight with those who devour junk food. To withstand the deluge that floods our retinas day after day, we consume them without digesting them properly or we just swallow them. Rarely do we pause to look more closely; To read, appreciate or question an image. Erik Kessels' multivolume In Almost Every Picture has long been a coveted and revered classic of vernacular photography. In Erik Kessels: Image Tsunami the Dutch art director has turned his attention to the abundance of images available for finding on the Internet, shared in their millions on websites like Fl...
