Jeremy Fish & Kenichi Yokono, Oct 29 – Dec 17, 2011 - Mark Moore Gallery Mark Moore Gallery presents Rise of the Underground, a two-person exhibition featuring new works by Jeremy Fish (CA) and Kenichi Yokono (Japan). Each adopting the age-old craft of woodcutting through a distinctive contemporary technique, Fish and Yokono employ bold and enchanting cartoon-like narratives to illustrate quotidian and pop cultural excerpts. Unmistakably handmade and remarkably intriguing, Yokono’s woodblocks explore the "horrors of everyday life," while Fish’s paintings and cut-outs reveal untapped histories often swept under the rug. Drawing from a background of graphic design, screen-printing, and skateboard culture, San Francisco-based Jeremy Fish celebrates and revives the ancient tradition of storytelling. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, Jeremy Fish (born 1974, Albany, NY) received his BFA in 1998, and has had solo exhibitions in Mexico City, San Francisco, New York, Laguna Beach and Los Angeles.

Geert van Kesteren BAGHDAD CALLING - Des livres et des photos Alors que le chœur des pleureuses vient de se réunir rituellement à Perpignan (1) pour déplorer la mort du photo-journalisme, Geert van Kesteren démontre, avec son deuxième ouvrage consacré à l'Irak, que le photo-reportage conserve toute sa pertinence à condition de lui inventer de nouvelles formes. Au panier les Pietàs et autres images iconiques ou larmoyantes ! Place donc au renouveau (relatif) des formes photographiques, au renouveau de l'editing et de la conception du livre de photo-journalisme. Why Mister, Why ? Pour comprendre la démarche de van Kesteren, un retour sur son premier livre consacré à l'Irak, Why Mister, Why ? Le livre Why Mister, Why ? Baghdad Calling Soit que la violence à l'égard des journalistes soit devenu intenable (209 tués et 14 kidnappés en 5 ans selon Reporters sans frontières), soit qu'il ait estimé ne pouvoir que reproduire, encore et encore, les mêmes images de violence, van Kesteren a renoncé à retourner en Irak ces trois dernières années.

The exhibition offers an allegory of “anthropological science fiction,” where the exhibition space opens screens/windows to an estranged and exciting universe that dramatizes the cross-cultural translation involved in the presentation of art. The unique model evokes the challenges that contemporary artists experience in exhibiting works, or that curators come across in organizing exhibitions that stitch together diverse art, selected across generation, cultural context, personal narratives, and time.On view in and around the spacecraft will be in three main section: artworks, commented archives, research and book projects using the screens as windows transmitting information from another world.
