Thomas Ruff talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work.Ruff was born in 1958 in Zell am Harmersbach, in what was then West Germany, and has, over five decades, extensively probed the forms and possibilities of photography. Though he is a key figure in the international generation of artists that emerged in the 1980s and experimented with the very nature of the photographic medium and discipline, Ruff has carved out a singular practice. He works in distinct series whose formal characteristics vary enormously, but are underpinned by experimental unorthodoxy, technical curiosity and conceptual rigour. Each new group contributes to a profound philosophical exploration of the photographic image and what it means to make a picture. But while the intellectual underpinning of his work is unwavering, Thomas makes prints that are remarkably beautiful objects. Operating in a medium that remains associated with the factual record and documentary, he has relentlessly made the case for a photographic practice in which imagination is a primary agent. He discusses his interest in “the puzzle of photography”, the distinctive geneses of his various series of work, and his conviction that while seeking an “intellectually high-end product… of course I want to have fun”. He reflects on the early influence of the photographer Ernst Haas, how Piero della Francesca influenced his early Portraits series, how he chose to study art over astronomy, yet outer space has remained a core concern in his work, and how the satirical television show Spitting Image proved an unlikely influence. Of course, he reflects on the work of numerous photographers, from Eugène Atget and Walker Evans to Lou Landauer and his teachers in Düsseldorf, Bernd and Hilla Becher. Plus, he answers our usual questions, including the ultimate, “What is art for?”Thomas Ruff: expériences lumineuses, David Zwirner, London, until 22 March; his work features in Typologien, a survey of 20th-century German photography at Fondazione Prada, Milan, 3 April-14 July.

The Great Depression was the worst and deepest peacetime economic shock in the history of the industrialized world. It brought about profound social change and was a significant factor in the drift towards the Second World War. The depth of suffering during the Depression years is hard for many of us to imagine today. More than 1 in five children in the city were suffering from malnutrition by 1932, and the Great Depression was only getting going at that point, it lasted seven more years. So, why did events on Wall Street in 1929 reverberate around the world? Why did the depression last so long, and how did America and the rest of the world eventually dig themselves out of this financial hole?

Photographer Anastasia Samoylova has made a career of capturing colorful portraits of life in South Florida. Now, she is co-headlining an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the first living woman photographer to do so since Helen Levitt in 1991. She joins us to discuss the show, Floridas: Anastasia Samoylova and Walker Evans, which is running through May 11. Plus, we discuss her new monograph, Adaptation, out this month.

This week we're excited to present an archival conversation from 2020 with Academy Award-nominated filmmaker RaMell Ross, moderated by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Garrett Bradley (Time). The two discuss Ross's documentary Hale County This Morning, This Evening, which was a 2018 New Directors/New Film selection. Ross's next feature, Nickel Boys, an adaptation of Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, will open the 62nd New York Film Festival on September 27.  “The American stranger knows Blackness as a fact—even though it is fiction,” says writer-director RaMell Ross. For his visionary and political debut feature, Ross spent five years intimately observing African-American families living in Hale County, Alabama. It's a region made unforgettable by Walker Evans and James Agee's landmark 1941 photographic essay, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, which documented the impoverished lives of white sharecropper families in Alabama's Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. Ross's poetic return to this place shows changed demographics and depicts people resilient in the face of adversity and invisibility. An Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature, Hale County This Morning, This Evening introduces a distinct and powerful new voice in American filmmaking.

Like yesterday's KEEN ON guest, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Dale Maharidge believes that liberals are “equally to blame” for what he calls, in his new collection of essays, America's Doom Loop. Maharidge, whose Pulitzer prize winning writing about the gutting of the industrial midwest, inspired Springsteen's iconic 1995 song “Youngstown”, barely recognizes the America of the 2020s. It was a different reality in 1980, he says, arguing that Americans of both left and right have written off the center of the country over the last half century. This is the tragic story of our age and there are few Americans who tell it straighter than Maharidge. For nearly four decades, Dale Maharidge has been one of America's leading chroniclers of poverty. Alongside photographer Michael S. Williamson, his book And Their Children After Them won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1990, revisiting the places and people of Depression-era America, depicted in Walker Evans's and James Agee's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Also with Williamson, Maharidge produced Journey to Nowhere: The Saga of the New Underclass, which Bruce Springsteen has credited as an influence for songs such as "Youngstown" and "The New Timer."Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

Three years ago, at age 66, the Belgium-born writer and critic Lucy Sante—known for her award-winning essays, criticism, and books, including Low Life: Lures and Snares of Old New York (1991)—announced to a few dozen close friends that she was transitioning to womanhood. This news came following nearly four decades of publishing her work under the byline Luc Sante. In her new memoir, I Heard Her Call My Name (Penguin Press), which she discusses at length on this episode of Time Sensitive, Sante writes about the first six months of her recent transition, the decades-long silence that preceded it, and various piercing moments from her life that led up to it. She is also the author of books such as Nineteen Reservoirs (2022), The Other Paris (2015), and Folk Photography (2009), and her writing has appeared in publications including The New York Review of Books, The New York Times, Artforum, and Vanity Fair. Across all of her work, Sante brings a searing, no-nonsense clarity and a photographic eye for detail.Also on this episode, Sante talks about why she thinks of the 1960s as “a kind of magic time,” her life-transforming literary journey, and her decision to open the floodgates of her womanhood.Special thanks to our Season 9 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:[3:49] Lucy Sante[3:49] I Heard Her Call My Name[3:49] The Factory of Facts[6:27] Nineteen Reservoirs[6:27] Low Life[9:28] Histories of the Transgender Child[9:28] Jules Gill-Peterson[22:11] Tintin[24:07] Terry Southern[24:07] Writers in Revolt[24:07] Alexander Trocchi's Caine's Book[24:07] Allen Ginsberg's “Howl” [24:07] Peter Orlovsky[24:07] William Burroughs's Naked Lunch[24:07] Curzio Malapart's Kaputt[29:05] The New York Review of Books[34:23] Folk Photography[36:55] The Other Paris[38:04] Walker Evans[38:04] Robert Frank[46:10] Maybe People Would Be the Times[49:52] “The Invention of the Blues”[51:41] The Velvet Underground[51:41] Lou Reed[51:41] Andrew Wylie

In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha and photographer, Baldwin Lee discuss the first-ever publication of his work, eponymously titled, Baldwin Lee, published by Hunters Point Press. Baldwin and Sasha talk about his childhood years in Chinatown in New York City, and then later studying with some of the most famous photographers of the times: Minor White, Walker Evans, and Nicholas Nixon. They also have a provocative conversation about leaving photography behind once you believe you have completed your best work. https://www.baldwinlee.com https://www.hunterspointpress.com/product/baldwin-lee Baldwin Lee was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1951. In 1972 he received a BS from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied photography with Minor White, and in 1975 received an MFA from Yale University, where he studied with Walker Evans.. In 1982, he became an art professor at the University of Tennessee, where he founded the university's photography program. He then decided to take a tour of the deep south, covering 2,000 miles over the course of ten days. During this trip, Lee widely photographed the people, landscapes, and cities of the south. After developing his photos, he realized that he had a particular passion for the African-American communities he had interacted with. He took numerous tours of the southern United States from 1983 to 1989, producing roughly 10,000 photographs. The majority of this work focused on the lives of low-income black Americans. When Lee arrived in a new town, he would visit the police station and let them know that he was planning to take photos with expensive photography equipment, so they could warn him about the poorer, redlined parts of town. Lee would then make a point of visiting these neighborhoods, since they had the highest concentration of black residents. In his work, Lee strived to represent his subjects as individuals with vibrant personalities, rather than reducing them to stereotypes or emphasizing their poverty. Lee retired from teaching in 2014, and is currently professor emeritus at University of Tennessee. He authored the monograph Baldwin Lee (2022), which was edited by Baeney Kulok and published by Hunter Point Press. Lee has received recognition for his contributions to American photography. Imani Perry wrote that "Lee has a sensitive eye for both poverty and dignity", describing him as "a witness to those at the bottom of U.S. stratification, and their refusal to swallow that status". In a 2015 article in Time Magazine, photographer Mark Steinmetz wrote that Lee "produced a body of work that is among the most remarkable in American photography of the past half century". Lee received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 1984, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1984 and 1987.

We talked about the upcoming election, new and upcoming restaurants, the relevance of history in reporting, and the city's changing retail landscape. The post October News Roundup appeared first on The Confluence Cast.

Dean Forbes joins us today to view some of his photographs that I believe are in the Walker Evans style.

Photography matters, writes Jerry Thompson, because of how it works--not only as an artistic medium but also as a way of knowing. With this provocative observation, Thompson begins a wide-ranging and lucid meditation on why photography is unique among the picture-making arts. In Why Photography Matters, he constructs an argument that moves with natural logic from Thomas Pynchon (and why we read him for his vision and not his command of miscellaneous facts) to Jonathan Swift to Plato to Emily Dickinson (who wrote "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant") to detailed readings of photographs by Eugène Atget, Garry Winogrand, Marcia Due, Walker Evans, and Robert Frank. Forcefully and persuasively, he argues for photography as a medium whose business is not constructing fantasies pleasing to the eye or imagination, but describing the world in the toughest and deepest way. Jerry L. Thompson is a working photographer who also writes about photography. He worked as Walker Evans's principal assistant from 1973 to Evans's death in 1975. He is the author of The Last Years of Walker Evans and Truth and Photography. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Antonio eagerly delves into his latest photography book finds. A neighbor gifts him a captivating book on Bresson from a local street library. Both Ward and Antonio touch on a newly published book called "The Things You Wanted to Say But Never Did" by Giloy Concepcion—a unique photo journal designed to process emotions through prompts. Motivations behind the photos spark their interest, alongside a delightful exploration of cliché subjects in the humor-filled "Photo No-Nos." They also dig into the importance of setting constraints and making decisive choices in photography. Antonio enthusiastically recommends "Think Like a Street Photographer" by Matt Stuart, a treasure trove of insights into the art. As their lively conversation progresses, Antonio gets into Helen Levitt's mesmerizing pictures of 1930s-40s New York, which lead to a fascinating tidbit about her association with Walker Evans and her distinctive presence in his secret subway portraits.   Ward then takes the spotlight, sharing his upcoming photography project at the Calgary Stampede—a local fair with thrilling rodeo events and a bustling midway. Since 2014, Ward has immersed himself in capturing the essence of this vibrant event through a street photography approach, and he excitedly reveals his meticulous preparations. Ward's thoughtful approach involves running the gauntlet, skillfully fishing for those captivating moments amidst the stampede's excitement. Inspired by his experiences in New York, he plans to be more selective in his photography this time around. With anticipation buzzing in the air, they wrap up the discussion, eagerly looking forward to sharing Ward's progress in future podcast episodes.   Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

durée : 00:40:00 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - La Nuit rêvée de Caroline Champetier (12/12) : Walker Evans : "Je ne cherchais rien, les choses me cherchaient, je le sentais ainsi, elles m'appelaient vraiment" Né en 1903 et mort en 1975, Walker Evans aura rêvé de devenir un grand écrivain. Mais l'admiration qu'il portait aux plus grands d'entre eux, comme Baudelaire et Flaubert, brisa cette ambition. Alors Walker Evans devint un immense photographe. Deux derniers temps d'un portrait par Jean Daive. * * "Je ne cherchais rien, les choses me cherchaient, je le sentais ainsi, elles m'appelaient vraiment". ce sont les mots de Walker Evans. Un autre photographe aura-t-il réalisé une ouvre aussi considérable que la sienne ? De lui, Cartier-Bresson disait : "Sans le défi que représentait l'ouvre d'Evans, je ne pense pas que je serais resté un photographe." * De ses débuts en 1930 jusqu'à sa disparition en 1975, à la chambre, au Leica ou au Polaroid, en documentariste consciencieux qu'il était indéniablement, Walker Evans n'aura jamais cessé d'enregistrer le réel en s'effaçant devant lui. Pourtant, le style documentaire ne pouvait selon lui définir son travail : Pour moi le mot "documentaire" est inexact, vague, il est même grammaticalement faible, si on veut l'utiliser pour décrire le style photographique qui est le mien. De plus, je crois que la meilleure chose possible dans ce qu'on nomme l'approche documentaire en photographie, c'est l'adjonction d'un certain lyrisme. [...] Ce dont je parle en fait, c'est d'une pureté, d'une certaine sévérité, de rigueur, simplicité, être direct et clair, et ce sans prétentions artistiques au sens conscient de l'expression. C'est la base de tout - être solide et ferme. En 1990, pour Les chemins de la connaissance, Jean Daive proposait un portrait en cinq volets de Walker Evans. En voici les deux derniers : Le style documentaire avec Gilles Mora, suivi de La recherche visuelle avec Pierre Devin.

durée : 00:54:59 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - De ses débuts en 1930 jusqu'à sa disparition en 1975, à la chambre, au Leica ou au Polaroid, Walker Evans, en documentariste consciencieux qu'il était indéniablement, n'aura jamais cessé d'enregistrer le réel en s'effaçant devant lui. Trois premiers volets d'un portrait en cinq temps par Jean Daive. Né en 1903 et mort en 1975, Walker Evans aura rêvé de devenir un grand écrivain. Mais l'admiration qu'il portait aux plus grands d'entre eux, comme Baudelaire et Flaubert, brisa cette ambition. Alors Walker Evans devint un immense photographe. Le présenter comme l'un des pères de la photographie documentaire serait réducteur. Bien plus encore que son nom, ses travaux sont depuis longtemps célèbres dans le monde entier, notamment ses photos mythiques des fermiers d'Alabama plongés dans la plus profonde misère par la Grande Dépression. Elles donnèrent lieu à un livre inclassable, aussi fascinant que terrible, composé avec l'écrivain James Agee : Louons maintenant les grands hommes... En 1990, pour Les chemins de la connaissance, Jean Daive et son invité Gilles Mora proposaient un portrait en cinq volets de Walker Evans. Ici les trois premiers : Un photographe américain à Paris ; L'expérience de La Havane ; Un observateur de la crise américaine. Walker Evans à Paris Gilles Mora raconte qu'en 1924, lors de son séjour à Paris, Walker Evans avait essayé de rencontrer James Joyce. Après avoir traqué l'écrivain pendant plusieurs jours, il avait abandonné. Celui-ci restera, malgré tout, un de ses modèles. Boursier à la Sorbonne, le jeune Walker Evans se familiarise avec le réalisme français. "Dès ce moment-là, Flaubert et Baudelaire deviennent ses deux grandes instances littéraires, devant lesquelles il se prosternera tout au long de sa vie et à partir desquelles il déterminera son esthétique photographique. Il apprend ce qu'est la culture européenne, certains regards esthétiques français. Et il se familiarise avec les conduites sociales qui sont étrangères aux Américains. (.) Une espèce de rapport au spectacle de la rue, qu'il a découvert lors de son séjour à Paris, et qui finalement est étranger à l'oil américain." Sensualité photogaphique De ses images de la Havane, Gilles Mora observe que le photographe "célèbre la femme comme objet de désir", ce qu'il poursuivra par la suite, aux Etats-Unis. "Walker Evans est le seul photographe américain de l'époque à avoir une sensualité et une sexualité photographique, en ce sens que pour lui le paysage américain, en particulier le paysage de la Havane, est un paysage qui est marqué par les signes de la sensualité. Il est frappant de voir que les seuls portraits de femmes sont des portraits de prostituées." En 1935, Walker Evans est engagé par la Farm Security Administration pour une mission photographique sur les effets de la crise aux Etats-Unis, afin de mobiliser les citoyens. Il répugne à cette sorte propagande photographique et réalise une ouvre personnelle. Dès 1929, il avait manifesté son intérêt pour les sujets sociaux dans ses photographies. "La nature m'ennuie à mourir. Je m'intéresse avant tout à la main de l'homme et à la civilisation."

This Slow Baja Podcast is an archive edition with Off-Road Hall of Fame Racer Curt LeDuc. I recently saw LeDuc at the NORRA Mexican 1000. He led the Ford Factory Bronco Team. In a test of engineering and endurance, Ford ran a stock 2022 Bronco Wildtrak with a Hoss 3.0 suspension. The only modifications were a roll cage and five-point racing harnesses for safety. The stock Ford Bronco ran from the start in Ensenada and finished without issue 1000 miles later in San Jose del Cabo. LeDuc is a salt-of-the-earth Baja racer with an impressive record of DIY accomplishments in off-road racing. When asked about his approach to building winning racers, LeDuc said, “I'm not an engineer; I'm an imagineer” He's built and raced his vehicles at the highest levels of desert racing for decades. He's won championships in Desert Class 8 -five years in a row and has two Short Course Off-Road Drivers Association titles, a Governor's Cup, and a rare and valuable Borg Warner Cup. Inducted into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall Of Fame in 2015, LeDuc, through all his successes, is revered for achieving it all with his own hands. He is a blue-collar racer who earned a reputation for fixing anything with almost nothing. Skills that got him hired by icon Walker Evans. Not only is Curt the guy you want with you in Baja for his mechanical aptitude, but he reportedly knows every mechanic, welder, and taco shop on the peninsula.
