Ferrari Pierpaolo and Cattelan Maurizio : photographers Ferrari Pierpaolo and Cattelan Maurizio : photographers The most recent collaboration between italians (both based in milan and new york) artist maurizio cattelan and photographer pierpaolo ferrari has resulted in a self-proclaimed ‘new generation’ magazine by the name of ‘toilet paper’. the magazine’s sophomore release was in january and is comprised entirely of photographs that combine high commercial production value with challengingly ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. In an interview with vogue italy, ferrari described the project as a ‘mental outburst’ of shared ideas between the two collaborators’ passion / obsession. the result is a fascinating collection of visual tableaux, though not for the squeamish.
Learning the Martin Parr Way Martin Parr is taking a picture of my breakfast. With an impish smile, he glides behind our chairs, leaning over our shoulders to neatly frame pale yellow eggs, fat sausages, grilled tomatoes, and racks of thin, evenly toasted slices of bread. The 12 photographers gathered in the dining room of the Northbank Hotel —eight men, four women; some professionals, some enthusiasts—study him eagerly. We are on the Isle of Wight, a roughly diamond-shaped piece of land in the English Channel, for an educational weekend with Britain's pre-eminent documentary photographer. Occasionally Parr discusses technique and technology with individual members of the group, but mostly we learn by watching him.

Edward Burtynsky: Oil (Eight Images SOCAR Oil Fields #6, Baku, Azerbaijan, 2006. © Edward Burtynsky/Courtesy of Hasted Hunt Kraeutler, New York/Nicholas Metivier Gallery, Toronto Edward Burtynsky: Oil consists of a series of large format color images made over the last 12 years. Burtynsky’s obsession with oil began in 1997, when he identified oil as a key building block of the last century—politically, economically and socially—on a global scale. He has tracked this controversial, valuable and increasingly scarce resource from extraction to production to consumption. The far reaching scope of the project has taken him from oil fields to expressways, from Western Canada to Los Angeles to the Middle East.

Altered States Francisco Reina shot the series ‘Altered States’ as a symbol for manipulation and lies. Manipulation is the act of representing something false as real, a negative as positive, a degradation as beneficial. In his series, Reina covers the truth with a blood red veil, seemingly hiding a mysterious secret. In Reina’s opinion ‘the picture of the world that is constantly being shown to us has nothing to do with reality because the truth about every single event is buried under a mountain of lies.’ Ai Weiwei What better symbol of the Chinese Colossus’ feet of clay than the baseless accusations against a lone artist, except possibly the inconvenient fact that the arrested artist was a co-designer of the Bird Nest Stadium, the centerpiece of the Beijing Olympics? On 4th April, the artist Ai Weiwei was arrested by the Chinese government as he tried to board a plane out of Beijing. The arrest was unfortunate, but not altogether shocking.
