Generously illustrated with photographs from early twentieth-century reformers to contemporary artists, this collection of essays re-examines the genre of social documentary photography through the shifting lens of photographic objectivity, modes of dissemination, and the passions animating documentary projects.

While the public’s acceptance of photographs as visual evidence made documentary photography possible, canny interventions employed by image makers and their editors alternately exploit and dismantle assumptions of the medium’s transparency, testing our wish to see pictures inspire social change.

Among the photographers included in the exhibition and book are Berenice Abbott, Max Alpert, William Castellana, Walker Evans, Larry Fink, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Lewis Hine, Boris Ignatovich, Dorothea Lange, Igor Moukhin, Gordon Parks, Alexander Rodchenko, Arthur Rothstein, Sebastião Salgado, Arkady Shaikhet, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, Weegee et al.

 - Beautifully illustrated survey of photography in the social sphere
 - First time the Zimmerli's photography collection is the subject of a book
 - Combines American, European, and Soviet and Russian photographers in one volume

This unique, visually exciting look at the evolution of nightclubs across America and Europe since the 1960s reveals an unwavering truth about club culture — the one constant changes.

Opening with the psychedelic haunts of the 1960s New York pop art scene and closing more than half a century later with the rise of post-club happenings, "Temporary Pleasure" shows how nightlife spaces have evolved to meet the needs of their generation, and how each generation was seeking something a little different from the one before. Each chapter focuses on a distinct phase and location: Italy’s politically radical clubs of the ’60s; New York City’s disco scene; Detroit and Chicago’s techno and house paradises; Ibiza’s counterculture communal retreats; Britain’s rave culture; and Berlin’s techno scene. The clubs come to life in double-page spreads that feature specs and detailed profiles. Author John Leo Gillen offers his take on various important cultural, design, and architectural details, while numerous photographs offer their own vibey stories. The book features interviews with people who were involved in a number of the scenes included, from NYC disco mainstay DJ Justin Strauss to Ben Kelly, architect of Manchester’s legendary venue The Haçienda. As the world emerges from its Covid-induced isolation, this celebration of crowded rooms, dance-worthy beats, and communal transcendence feels more important than ever.

About the Author:

John Leo Gillen is a temporary space designer and producer who was raised in the nightlife industry through his family’s nightclub business in Ireland. He initially began archiving ephemeral club spaces online under the banner Temporary Pleasure, before turning the project into a collective of architects, event producers, and creatives who are generating new ways to rebuild clubs through design labs, workshops, and pop-up spaces. He holds a master’s degree in Ephemeral Architecture and Temporary Spaces from Elisava in Barcelona, and lives in London.

Переживіть перші сто років найкращих дво- та чотириколісних транспортних засобів Німеччини.

Заснована в 1916 році, компанія BMW є одним із найстаріших та найшанованіших виробників автомобілів та мотоциклів в автомобільній та мотоциклетній промисловості. Протягом останнього століття компанія пройшла безліч етапів розвитку. The BMW Century описує цю чудову транспортну компанію за допомогою зображень автомобілів та мотоциклів, які вона виробляла, від мотоцикла R32 1923 року до елегантних електромобілів сьогодення. Цей гарний том наповнений зображеннями, історією та глибоким оглядом неймовірних машин, які BMW створювала рік за роком.

The BMW Century демонструє, як нова далекоглядна команда компанії систематично перебудовувала BMW у післявоєнні роки до вражаючого успіху, який ми знаємо сьогодні, – тобто, компанію з прогнозованими продажами понад два мільйони автомобілів на рік до 2016 року, на чолі з її 3-ю серією, найпопулярнішим розкішним автомобілем у світі.

Мотоциклетний підрозділ BMW не менш легендарний. Все почалося з авангардного R32 1923 року, який мав горизонтально-опозитний двоциліндровий двигун з розворотом на 180 градусів – конфігурацію двигуна, яка стала візитною карткою BMW. Згодом BMW використовувала цю конфігурацію для створення новаторських машин, таких як R90S, R100RS та R80GS. Починаючи з 1983 року, вони додали до своїх пропозицій три- та чотирициліндрові машини, що завершилося сучасним вражаючим спортивним мотоциклом S1000RR.

Від довоєнних мотоциклів до культових близнюків серії R 1970-х і 80-х років, до могутніх автомобілів серії M та супербайків сьогодення, книга The BMW Century пропонує повний огляд німецької інженерії у її найкращому вигляді. Книга ілюстрована сотнями історичних, сучасних та гоночних фотографій, багато з яких взяті з архівів BMW, та детальним текстом, що розповідає про повну історію BMW. Це єдиний том, без якого не може обійтися жоден шанувальник BMW.
