FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 160 pp. ; 364 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; Christian Marclay was born in 1955 in California but he grew up in Geneva and didn't live in the U.S. again until he returned in 1977 to study art. By 1979 music was Marclay's material of choice. He has since turned a fascination with all aspects of popular recorded sound and cinema into a brilliant career as an artist. As a collector of audio and film he harnesses his eclectic interests and expansive archive to a practice spanning aural and visual collage and performance in a layering and sampling aesthetic that has come to be called after the DJ's tool turntablism. He has collaborated with musicians including John Zorn the Kronos quartet DJ Spooky and Sonic Youth and appeared or shown his work at venues including The Museum of Modern Art and P.S. 1 in New York. Replay the first book to focus on his moving image work gathers his most important films and projections to date. If Marclay's craft of reconstruction is itself musical the pauses and absences being as much part of the work as the shots and beats his recompositions also follow a rich heritage of montage within cinema and experimental film. . 2007. 3905770571 .

S. and British militaries Sean Smith has compiled a shocking and unique portrait of modern combat and its aftermath. These pictures take us right into the midst of contemporary war zones and offer a unique insight into the reality of life in the crossfire. Frontlines begins with violence on the streets of Bethlehem in 2000 as Palestinian youths clash with Israeli soldiers. Smith catches fascinating glimpses of life in Afghanistan before the U. S.-led invasion as well as the faltering attempts of Afghan police and the U. S. military to maintain a fragile peace in the face of Taliban insurgency. He takes us into the utter devastation of Lebanon in the wake of Israel's brutal bombardment in 2006. And in Kiwanja in the Congo thousands of refugees struggle on the edge of survival and civilian bodies litter the streets amid bitter clashes between the government and Tutsi renegades. But it is to Iraq the most divisive of conflict of modern times that Smith's work most often returns. He shows us a society nervously holding itself together under the shadow of U. S. assault in 2002. The images follow a crescendo of violence building through the Sunni uprisings of 2007 and the consequent surge as the U. S. army attempts to regain control over an increasingly desperate and violent rebellion. Smith's pictures are both a vivid contemporary document and a worthy contribution to the great tradition of war photography laying bare the reality of modern conflict with a clarity that is impossible to ignore. . 2011. 0852652429 .
