Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks
Monday 28 September 2009
This compelling body of work is the result of a unique commission by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. They asked Joel Meyerowitz to document, interpret, and celebrate one of the city’s greatest legacies: nearly 29,000 acres of parks in the five boroughs.
Through this stunningly rich archive of parks, shorelines, and forests, Meyerowitz’s “Legacy” transports the viewer into the heart of the wilderness throughout New York City, much of which remains unseen and unknown to the millions of city dwellers.
Meyerowitz is the first photographer to document New York City’s parks since the 1930s, when they were photographed as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s WPA program.

Narelle Autio's The Summer of Us
Saturday 21 March 2009
Narelle Autio
25 March to 2 May 2009 Stills Gallery, NSW, Australia
Opening Sat 28 May 3-5pm
Since they were first exhibited at Stills Gallery in 2000, Narelle Autio’s vibrant and award-winning images of Australian coastal life have won her impressive national and international acclaim, as well as capturing the hearts and imaginations of viewers.
One of the beauties of her work is its ability to speak to speak to so many people about their own experience as coastal dwellers. The play of colour and light is magical too, giving the photographs a painterly quality that transcends usual depictions of the beach. Autio’s images give the coastline back the complexity, drama and beauty that are so easily eroded by postcards and clichés.
For her new body of work, The Summer of Us, Autio has returned to the ocean, but this time to the shore, to the natural and man-made remnants of long summer days; to a lone pink thong, the skeletons of sun hats and sand-crusted fish. Using large format film, Autio documents her finds, treating each with the same kind attention to detail. Thoughtlessly discarded by its owner, a bottle Reef Oil for example, is resurrected larger than life. Against a clean white background, the glossy promise of this product almost returns to its former glory, despite the all too familiar truth that applying sun lotion at the beach is a sand-caked and unglamorous affair.
Her collection of images introduces us to a lovely continuum existing between manufactured and natural, between ocean and land. Lost gloves slowly grow to resemble five fingered sea creatures and in turn lost sea creatures become curious objects when washed up on the shore. Autio’s appreciation for the power and the poetic transformations of the ocean is elegantly portrayed in these works.

Otto Snoek's two Books
Wednesday 25 February 2009
Otto Snoek has two new books out on the 7 March. The first, “Rotterdam”, is the result of Otto’s collaboration between Witte de With. The second, “Why Not”, accompanies the exhibition of the same title in the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam.

Why Not
Text: Henk Oosterling
Graphic Design: Studio Beige
Hardcover, 140pp
ISBN 978-90-5973-114-1 [English edition]
ISBN 978-90-5973-109-7 [Dutch edition]
€ 32.50 [Netherlands]
€ 35.00 [Europe]
€ 37.50 [outside Europe]
In the Netherlands, the event culture has led to far-reaching changes in public areas. They are primarily perceived and used as stages for consumption, with public partying, shopping and celebrating.
Over ten years, Otto Snoek visualizes the ambivalent relationship between the promise and the letdown of our modern way of urban life.
The photographs in “Why Not” focus on contemporary forms of leisure: festivals, soccer games and parties. Looking at these promises of mass culture, Snoek exposes the increasingly commercial character of urban life, as well as people’s uniformity in a crowd.
Trent's Christmas Bucket
Sunday 30 November 2008
The Christmas Tree Bucket is humour of the blackest hue. Operatic in its vision and darkly satirical in its style, Trent Parke snaps the family rituals of Christmas with the in-laws and builds a gritty gothic tale of a nightmare lurking in the suburban shadows.

Jeff Ladd's Books on Books
Wednesday 17 September 2008
Jeff Ladd has started an exciting new project, under the umbrella of his publishing company ‘Errata Editions’.
The ‘Books on Books’ series is an on-going publishing project dedicated to making rare and out-of-print photography books accessible once again to photobook enthusiasts.
Each edition presents the entire content, page for page, of an original master bookwork that has, until now, been too rare or prohibitively expensive for most of us to experience. These are not facsimiles, but complete studies of those original masterpieces. Through a mix of classic and contemporary titles, the series will span the breadth of practice as it has appeared on the printed page, allowing further study into the creation and meanings of these great works of art.
The first two-thirds of each book shows, page for page, every spread of the original. But Jeff has also commissioned some of the finest writers on photography to contribute a 3000-4000 word essay about each book. As well as discussing the photography, the essays also look at the book object itself, and its relevance in the history of the medium. Other chapters include a short essay on the original book’s production, as well as biographic and bibliographic information of each artist.
You can find out more at Jeff’s fantastic 5B4 website.

Street Photography of the Gold Coast
29 Mar 2008 – 11 May 2008
Jeff Carter, John Gollings & Trent Parke
Street life is our shared experience of common places.
The Gold Coast has a very particular street culture of holidaymakers, beachgoers, surfers, glamorous figures – and its fair share of lost souls.
By definition, the street is a very public space – but there are also private, unseen, transitory moments. Moments captured by the keen eye of the photographers in this exhibition.
Jeff Carter worked as a news and freelance photojournalist before coming to the Gold Coast regularly from the mid-1950s. John Gollings, now best known for his architectural photographs, made a study of Gold Coast street scenes in 1974. And Trent Parke has taken the most recent work in the exhibition, over the past year. Parke’s images may look like the results of chance, but they are the result of prolonged and careful observation and great patience.

Paul McDonough Exhibition
Tuesday 02 October 2007
Sasha Wolf’s new gallery in Tribeca is opening with an exhibition is of Paul McDonough’s New York street work from 1968-1972.
McDonough arrived in New York in 1967 with a 35mm camera and an entrée – through childhood friend Tod Papageorge – into the photography workshops and social networks of street photographer Garry Winogrand.
Emerging from an early career as a studio easel painter, McDonough found photographing on the streets liberating. “It satisfied my sketching impulses,” he said. “… I learned to carry a camera everywhere, all the time, loaded with 400-speed film.”
This show is a must-see for all lovers of street photography. We recommend heading down to 10 Leonard Street, Tribeca, New York before the show ends on 10th November.
If you can’t get there, you can see the show online at www.sashawolf.com

Joel Meyerowitz, "Wild in New York"
Monday 11 June 2007
Joel Meyerowitz
In 2006 Joel Meyerowitz began a project to create a photographic archive of New York City’s 29,000 acres of parkland. Already numbering nearly 1500 images, the archive is expected to include 4000 photographs by the time it concludes in 2008.
The central theme of the archive is the areas of wild nature that still exist within the parks system; places where the unexpected beauty of the ancient forests and coastline provide a retreat for New York’s citizens.
“Wild in New York”, a work in progress, will be on show at the Edwynn Houk Gallery, 745 Fifth Avenue, New York from June 5th to June 21st 2007.

Manifesto
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what’s really going on in the world around us.
