Sounding the Gallery argues that early video art is an audiovisual genre. The new video technology not only enabled artists to sound their visual work and composers to visualise their music during the 1960s: it also initiated a spatial form of engagement that encouraged new relationships between art / music practices and their audiences.
Watching Closely provides a practical, interactive guide for improving one's powers of observation, synthesizing data, and tapping into more visual elements of observation, such as photography and sketching, encouraging both a more creative and more scientific approach to fieldwork. Geared towards ethnographic field work, the book includes nine exercises for practicing and strengthening observational skills. Watching Closely will appeal to students and scholars of the social and behavioral sciences, as well as designers, architects, and anyone engaged in fieldwork.
This monumental book surveys the development of postwar American photography, and isolates four major roles of the medium--artistic expression, journalistic documentation, commercial industry, and scientific tool. With extensive essays from a range of scholars, and work from Arbus, Frank, Lange, Friedlander, and many more, this book represents a major reference work of photo history. "All libraries should consider Photography's Multiple Roles."--Library Journal.

Doubtful there is anyone blogging on the arts who is more respected and beloved." Barry Hessenius
