réf. 11005Norway 2019. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Some of the books in the series were made into a film and the film becoming an artwork unto itself. The film of an alternative version was awarded the Critic's Prize on the juried regional exhibition in Trondheim 2017. "The paper is translucent soft airy and completely silent. Quick movements of the papers is physically impossible. Each sheet has one visual element a shape which is mirrored as you turn the page. The fragile paper is printed with motives developed from Arabic ornamentation. This expression was originally created out of mathematics and geometry to avoid imagery that might lead to idolatry. I wanted to combine the book as a system with this geometry to see what that could bring. I find it fascinating how the images switch between flat and spatial" and that despite the strict patterns associations may vary and go towards modernism the oriental and paradoxically also towards figuration. The transparency causes overlaps between the pages that create new shapes and new colors. The sheets melt together in a way which makes it almost impossible for the reader to predict the next sheet's exact pattern and color or to remember precisely the last motif. It plays with the illusions of form color space and order. The image is transformed with each turn of a page and becomes ephemeral. A book starts to exist the moment its pages are turned. Since the book is a media of intimacy presence and touch haptic communication inevitably establishes meaning in itself a communication which invariably will be in some kind of relation to the mental content. It is an arena where perception and thinking operate together it might also bring awareness of your own perception. Books have been holy objects for many different reasons. The fragility of the paper and the actions necessary may add a ritualistic element to the act of reading. I see the reader' act as a performance a slow motion ballet. In a materialistic culture of mass consumption and noisy offensive expressions I find it appropriate to react by focussing on tranquility care and consideration. Like mandalas which often are written in sand to be washed away I have tried to create a space for a contemplative experience displaying the ever changing character and relativeness of existence where different elements always are colored and influenced by their surroundings."

1938réf. 234231938. Labor Organizing United Auto Workers and CIO labor photograph archive documenting strike action union leadership and collective bargaining negotiations during the expansion of organized labor in the American automobile industry 1938-1949. The archive traces the period immediately following the 1935 Wagner Act when unions gained federal legal protection for collective bargaining but still faced violent resistance from corporations police departments and municipal governments. Several scenes connect directly to the years surrounding the 1937 Battle of the Overpass in Dearborn when Ford security men beat UAW organizers attempting to distribute union literature outside the River Rouge complex and to the broader wave of sit-down strikes and factory shutdowns that forced General Motors Chrysler and eventually Ford into formal negotiations with the UAW. The captions identify senior labor figures including Walter Reuther R. J. Thomas George Addes and Richard T. Leonard establishing the archive as documentation not merely of rank-and-file unrest but of the institutional consolidation of the UAW-CIO into one of the most powerful industrial unions in the United States. The material also records how labor disputes extended beyond factory gates into courts city halls state legislatures and police jurisdictions revealing the political dimensions of industrial unionism during the New Deal and early Cold War years. Photo archive of 12 Large silver gelatin press photographs one large panorama measuring 9.5 x 16.5 inches 11 press photos ranging from 6 x 8 inches to 8 x 10 inches primarily Detroit Dearborn South Gate and Atlantic City circa 1938-1949. A large-format scene dated 1939 records tear gas and street violence during a UAW strike at the Fisher Body plant with clouds of gas spreading across trolley tracks as helmeted police advance toward crowds of fleeing workers and spectators. Another image shows hundreds of demonstrators carrying a massive American flag through downtown Detroit toward City Hall during protests following clashes between union pickets and police at Federal Screw Works; the verso caption notes approximately forty injuries and references accusations of "police brutality" raised before city council. Additional photographs show UAW-CIO officials seated at conference tables negotiating contracts and appearing in municipal hearing rooms beneath desk microphones and courthouse lighting. Captions identify figures including Walter Reuther George Addes and R. J. Thomas while a 1940 Dearborn caption records the arrest of union leaders for distributing handbills asserting workers' rights under the National Labor Relations Act. South Gate strike scenes outside a General Motors facility show workers carrying placards demanding a thirty percent wage increase while Rev. Louis R. Loe conducts prayer services along the picket line. Convention and leadership photographs from Atlantic City and Washington document labor leaders gathered under the authority of Samuel Gompers and later CIO leadership structures linking local strike activity to national labor organization. The archive illustrates the transformation of the automobile industry from one of the nation's most violently anti-union industrial sectors into the center of postwar collective bargaining power. Ford Motor Company resisted union recognition longer than General Motors or Chrysler relying on private security forces local police cooperation labor espionage and anti-handbill ordinances to suppress organizing inside and outside its plants. Several captions directly reference these legal confrontations including arrests tied to leaflet distribution and disputes over municipal authority to restrict labor organizing in public space. By the late 1940s many of the same figures shown here were negotiating contracts that established wage standards pensions grievance procedures and health benefits that reshaped industrial employment across the United States. Creasing edge wear scattered minor losses adhesive residue and newsroom markings to versos; images remain clear and intact overall. Overall good condition. unknown
