Zone Eleven is a reference to Ansel Adams' Zone System, a method to
control exposure of the negative in order to obtain a full range of
tonality in the photographic print from the deepest black of Zone 0
to the brightest highlight in Zone 10. Zone Eleven is a metaphor
coined by artist Mike Mandel in his challenge to create a book of
Adams' photographs outside of the bounds of his personal work. Many
of these photographs were found in the archives of his commercial
and editorial assignments, and from his experimentation with the
new Polaroid material of the times. For this book, Mandel has
unearthed images that are unexpected for Adams, and created a new
context of facing page relationships, and sequence. Zone Eleven is
the product of Mike Mandel's research of over 50,000 Adams images
located within four different archives to present a body of Adams'
work that was unknown until now. Mike Mandel is well known for his
collaboration with Larry Sultan in the 1970s - 1990s. They
published Evidence in 1977, a collection of 59 photographs chosen
from more than two million images that the artists viewed at the
archives of government agencies and tech-oriented corporations.
Conceptually, Zone Eleven is a companion book to Evidence. As
Evidence reframes the institutional documentary photograph with new
context and meaning, Zone Eleven responds to the audience
expectation of "the iconic Ansel Adams nature photograph." But
Mandel selects images that do not fit that expectation. Zone Eleven
is a book of Ansel Adams images that surprisingly speak to issues
of the social relations, the built environment, and alienation.
"The State of Ata" addresses the social themes that define
contemporary Turkey. Specifically examining the imagery of Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk, the country's revolutionary leader after World War
I, the volume interweaves photographs, interviews, artists'
interventions and archival imagery. The result is a complex visual
exploration of the uses of Ataturk's imagery and the way in which
it functions in contemporary Turkish society as a perceived link to
Western culture, and as a symbol in opposition to the rise of the
Islamist political movement. Mike Mandel and Chantal Zakari
conceived "The State of Ata" as a collection of books within a
book-a photograph album, a volume of military portraits, a
diary-and the result is a unique project that will appeal not only
to those fascinated by Turkish culture, but also to anyone
interested in the popular representations of cult historical
figures.
