The Archivist has a unique view of the fashion industry. Non-seasonal, it does not purport to sell its audience clothes; it prefers to showcase designers’ archives, important personal collections and new emerging talent. Founded in 2012 by Jane Howard and Michael Harrison, the multi-media project is not confined by format and takes no advertising. It is inspirational rather than aspirational and seeks to explore the cyclical nature of fashion; to change perceptions, reinterpret and present to a new generation. "Archivist does not sell clothing, and it especially does not sell the new. What will unfold over the coming issues will be the different ways the past can be retrieved and celebrated and how various the ways are." Professor Judith Clark

“...and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens”

“...and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens”
Published by: Mousse Publishing
32 pages 14.8 x 21 cm Softcover English
£12.00
The publication “...and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens” brings together three of Nina Danino’s early 16mm films—First Memory (1980), Close to Home (1985), Stabat Mater (1990)— which are related to Gibraltar as a real place, and as an imagined geography and history. The publication includes the artist's recent work Meteorologies (2013). The book is published on the occasion of Nina Danino's solo exhibition “...and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens” at the Garrison Library, a magnificent library in Gibraltar—established in 1793. Since then, the venue, with its fine collection of rare books and documents, has been a centre of international cultural life in Gibraltar. Nina Danino’s films are part of the history of British artists’ film and are listed in many UK anthologies. They are also in BFI National Film and Television Archive public collection. Danino uses image and sound to evoke emotional landscapes; she is renowned for her soundtracks and the use of the voice in film. The books presents the artist's personal archive, showing her working methods and the act of research. Nina Danino ( b.1955; Gibraltar) graduated in Fine Art, Painting from St Martin’s School of Art (1977) and Environmental Media from the Royal College of Art (1981) London.

"These photographs were taken in Shanxi Province in northwest China. They document old customs originating from pagan ritual practices. They are, in effect, a voodoo-esque form of totem worship. A number of these ancient customs still survive and remain some of the most important cultural practices during the Lunar New Year throughout most of Shanxi. It appears that the participants have created a dramatic and otherworldly stage—dressing in stunning costumes and exquisitely painting their faces to represent the identities of Gods otherwise long forgotten. When I first witnessed the participants line up and then parade around the village, I repeatedly kept asking myself whether I had literally stepped into some sort of wonderland. The scenes I gazed at were far too bizarre and illusionary to be connected to events in the real world. Compared with the monotony of their usual rural lives, everyone involved into these celebrations transformed into something quite extraordinary—appearing no longer as mere peasants, but as powerful Gods from ancient mythology.With every glimpse of the unfolding events, I saw an overwhelming sense of joy and happiness that saturated the atmosphere and I tried not to disturb this beautiful dream state I found myself in. I truly hoped that I would never wake up."

From November 19 through December 3, The LBM Dispatch was on the road in the Lone Star State, exploring the people, places, and mythology of the megapolitan area known as the Texaplex. Our rambles in this 60,000-square-mile, roughly triangular territory, home to more than 70% of the Texas population, included the cities of Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Galveston, and San Antonio, as well as countless small communities where the Old South and the Wild West converge to create an utterly unique culture that continues to loom large in the national imagination. The results of those travels is Texas Triangle, which includes pictures and stories from the 50th anniversary of the J.F.K. assassination, Texas high school football playoffs, Thanksgiving in Houston, the birthplace of Jack Johnson, and the State’s 16th (and final) execution of 2013.

428 pages English Softcover 14 x 21 cm

Tjago Bom, Vanessa Ohlraun, Ayatgali Tuleubek, Marina Vishmidt, Susanne M. Winterling, eds. Texts by Viktor Misiano, Kari Johanne Brandtzaeg, Adil Nurmakov, Kerstin Stakemeier, Ruslan Getmanchuk , Ekaterina Degot, and Maria Chekhonadskih. Artists projects by Anton Vidokle, Slavs and Tatars, Vyacheslav Akhunov and Faruh Kuziev. This publication picks up on several of the themes which emerge conceptually and artistically in the Central Asian Pavilion project, and elaborates them in a philosophical, historical and poetic register within the specific materiality and temporality of a book—though the website as a repository and forum for these kinds of explorations should be mentioned as well—with its capacity to extend the time, space and context of the ideas beyond the Venice Biennale and to a readership beyond the project's immediate public. The Pavilion's organizing metaphor of “Winter” is appropriated from the poem by 19th century Kazakh poet, intellectual and activist Abay Qunanbaiuli. The metaphor of winter here evokes social stagnation, cultural censorship and political unfreedom.

£10.00
SSTRANGLING FFROZEN FFLAMINGO + 47 22 15 12 24 a study by Victor Boullet written by Stian Gabrielsen Mona H's «endorsement» Sstrangling Ffrozen Fflamingo is the second installment in a trilogy, if I have interpreted the cryptic fragments of information the book provides us with correctly. I have not read the first one, Time is the Assasin, and the third one, Pull That That, is not out yet. It is unclear to me what kind of literature this is – even after having read the whole book I'm still not sure. The plot evolves around the protagonist Victor Boullet and his relation to his childhood home. The chronology is jumbled so it's kind of hard to piece together the story. Suffice to say that Victor grew up in Oslo, lives in Paris, and has come back to Oslo because his mother is selling the house he grew up in. He walks around the place and feels connected to it in various pathological ways and has flashbacks. One of these flashbacks form the most substantial part of the book. Here is related in detail a night out a few years earlier, where the neighbourhood bar, Flamingo, plays a prominent part. All three of the books have different writers, the only constant signature across the entire project is Victor Boullet's (and that of his idiosyncratic, cairo-based designer-cohort He is an idiot, whose absolute disregard for all coherence and readability is astounding). Judging from a description of Time is the Assassin that you can find on Antenne books' website, it too narrates roughly the same story: Boullet's night out. My guess is that this same story will also form the basis for the last installment in the trilogy. The circulation of the same story through these different creative frameworks draws focus to the process of writing a biography, or, more specifically, the precarious condition of biographical truth. This is how I suspect the method works: Boullet approaches these writers with a request for them to write about a specific event from his past, but this event is only conveyed in outline. It is then left to the writer to flesh it out and turn it into a literary composition. This raises both issues of ownership (whose story is this, who is telling it? Boullet or Gabrielsen?) and, as I mentioned above, biographical truth; to what extent does this literary rendition of an episode from the life of Victor Boullet present things as they actually transpired? Though mostly held within the limits of plausibility, it's pretty clear from how the events evolve that fact is abandoned at some point. Mona H.

Chiming with “L’État du ciel” [The Sky’s State], the new season of exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo, from February to September 2014, this issue of the magazine PALAIS brings together contributions by a large number of artists, writers, critics and researchers. Featured in issue 19: Writings by artists with an essay by Hiroshi Sugimoto, the great Japanese photography master and collector, who confronts and conjugates Japanese thought and culture with Western ideas and art. A choice of writings by Thomas Hirschhorn, published in their original language, which testify to the need for the artist to define his own terms and affirm his position. An unpublished text by the British artist Ed Atkins, in relation with one of his new pieces. Two dossiers: “New Ghost Stories”: in texts and images, Georges Didi-Huberman, philosopher and historian, and Arno Gisinger, artist, explore the historical and theoretical concerns in their common exhibition project and the question of the montage of images as specific forms of knowledge about the world. “Little Illustrated Dictionary of the Fall”: under the editorial lead of Marie de Brugerolle and Gérard Wajcman, nine authors (artists, writers, psychoanalysts, filmmakers, etc.) have been asked to contribute to a series of variations on the figure of the fall.

Three Faces. Archive Chalayan Issue 2, Three Faces Archive Chalayan, channels Chalayan’s archive into a modern space, releasing his concepts from the imaginative prison of nostalgia and academe. Turning the pages, we see a modern enactment of the Judgment of Paris: the fresh, young face of a model; the familiar face of a supermodel; and the expressive, ‘real’ face of an actress all compete for greatest desirability, forming an extended triptych ripe for our consideration. Trained ballet dancer Lida Fox, supermodel Kristen McMenamy and German actress Bibiana Beglau are photographed by Axel Hoedt, wearing clothes that are all dated between 1997 and 2010, selected from the archive of designer Hussein Chalayan. Since 1995, the interrogation of beauty, race, culture, religion, identity and sex has been explicit in Chalayan’s clothes, but rejecting the designer’s well-documented status as a conceptual provocateur, Fox, McMenamy and Beglau wear pieces that slip tentatively between the boundaries of reality and wearability.
