Type 42 presents 120 works from an extraordinary archive of work by
an anonymous artist. The archive is composed of black-and-white
polaroids showing headshots and close-ups of actresses taken from
the television screen beginning in the late 1960s. They are mainly
distorted, slightly blurry and occasionally pixelated, but a strong
emphasis on the science fiction or B-movie genres pervades. In some
of the photographs the television screen can be seen as a framing
device, but for the most part the television's borders are absent
from the picture - one of the many remarkable aesthetics of this
collection.'Type 42' refers to the type of Polaroid film used. The
entire body of work was found intact in New York in 2012 by artist
Jason Brinkerhoff; his attempts to trace the origins of the
polaroids have remained unsuccessful.All but a handful are
inscribed. In most cases the name of the actress is written across
the bottom of the photograph; in some cases the title of the film
or TV series she appears in is written across the top of the
photograph; and in a few cases both sets of information are written
on top and bottom accordingly. There are also 31 photographs where
the artist has written the women's measurements across the top
along with her name across the bottom.
"On the occasion of the upcoming Cindy Sherman retrospective
exhibition in the New York Museum of Modern Art in 2012, we are
pleased to present one of her most fanciful photographic series,
Clowns. Having astonished the art world with her "role portraits"
for almost 40 years--her History Portraits and Untitled Film Stills
are milestones of conceptual portraiture--she explores the horror
of laughter and the laughable in Clowns. Sherman said: "I came to
clowns to show the complex emotional abysses of a painted smile."
This volume presents the entire series of eighteen color
photographs created between 2003 and 2004, which justify her
reputation as one of the most outstanding and influential artists
of our time."
Femxphotographers.org's second publication Mind Over Matter focuses
inward. Women's bodies are frequently sexualized while their minds
are vilified and their voices silenced. This is true throughout
history and in different cultures worldwide. A book about female
vision, the power of the mind, as well as dreams and fantasies,
logic and intuition, Mind Over Matter is an exploration of inner
strength, courage, determination, willpower, and support in complex
and individual series. Edited by Roula Seikalyi and with
contributions by photographers from the team as well as many guest
artists and writers, the publication has the character of an
illustrated reader.
