Max Pinckers: Margins of Excess
No full textIn Margins of Excess the notion of how personal imagination conflicts with generally accepted beliefs is expressed through the narratives of six individuals. Every one of them momentarily received nationwide attention in the US press because of their attempts to realise a dream or passion, but were found to be frauds or deceivers.
Herman Rosenblat became well-known because of a self-invented love-story set in a concentration camp during WWII, the private detective Jay J. Armes appears to be a real-life superhero, Darius McCollum drew media attention by compulsively highjacking trains, Richard Heene would have staged an elaborate television hoax and Rachel Doležal would have pretended to be ‘black’. This book weaves together their stories through personal interviews, press articles, archival footage and staged photographs.
The current era of ‘post-truth’, in which truths, half-truths, lies, fiction or entertainment are easily interchanged, has produced a culture of ‘hyper-individual truths’, demanding a new approach to identify the underlying narratives that structure our perception of reality in a world where there is no longer a generally accepted frame of realism. In Margins of Excess reality and fiction are intertwined. Not to fool us, but to reveal a more intricate view of our world, which takes into account the subjective and fictitious nature of the categories we use to perceive and define it. And then again: not to celebrate superficiality and contingency, but to pierce through the noise, buzz, pulp, lies, dreams, paranoia, cynicism and laziness and to embrace ‘reality’ in all its complexity
Mutable/Multiple
No full textComposed around a series of photographic works that challenge prevalent modes of documentary and storytelling, Mutable, Multiple explores how narrative, history, memory and myth can be recalibrated as a way of coming to terms with complex and changing realities.
A story of stories, the exhibition looks at the narrative potential of photography to engage with subjects, yet without adopting straightforward strategies. Leaning more towards fiction, interpretation, suggestion and trickery in order to insist on the ambiguity of photographic evidence, the six artists all examine the limits of representation and insert self-reflection actively within their work. Brought together in the context of Mutable, Multiple their projects occupy a hybrid documentary space between image and information, fiction and fact, where juxtapositions of interviews, literature, press material, news footage, archival interventions and staged photography are the new norm.
Mutable, Multiple brings to bear issues of entrapment and disappearance, fantasy and escape, exile and longing. The various ways in which each project deals with fractured, disharmonious lives that are constantly in a state of becoming are made apparent, allowing the viewer to meditate on the situations in which such individuals achieve visibility and, some cases, invisibility, in the world.

Masculinities: Liberation through Photography
No full textThrough the medium of film and photography, this major exhibition considers how masculinity has been coded, performed, and socially constructed from the 1960s to the present day.
Examining depictions of masculinity from behind the lens, the Barbican brings together the work of over 50 international artists, photographers and filmmakers including Laurie Anderson, Sunil Gupta, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Isaac Julien and Catherine Opie.
In the wake of #MeToo the image of masculinity has come into sharper focus, with ideas of toxic and fragile masculinity permeating today’s society. This exhibition charts the often complex and sometimes contradictory representations of masculinities, and how they have developed and evolved over time. Touching on themes including power, patriarchy, queer identity, female perceptions of men, hypermasculine stereotypes, tenderness and the family, the exhibition shows how central photography and film have been to the way masculinities are imagined and understood in contemporary culture
The Horizon is Moving Nearer
No full textThe Horizon is Moving Nearer takes the symbiotic nature of society, politics and ecology as the basis to explore how modern humans have reached a crossroads. In this era of various global health emergencies, from Covid-19 to anti-Black violence, we are confronted by a series of critical and interrelated issues which call for us to radically reimagine the ways we relate to the environment and each other.
The exhibition brings together works from eight artists who use visual strategies of narrative and fragmentation as a means of dealing with the mounting complexities that define our troubled times, all the while examining the ontology of the photographic image. Through a mix of image, film, text, archival material and advanced visualisation technologies, The Horizon is Moving Nearer explores topics including toxic masculinity, climate emergency, eco-fascism, conflict, nationalism, populism, cyber-security, mass incarceration, gendered violence, abuses of Indigenous rights, Trump, Brexit and other phenomena. The context is the Anthropocene, and histories unfold individually and collectively, at a hyper-local level as well as on the global stage.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Hokusai: Beyond the Great Wave
No full textThe accompanying title to the major British Museum exhibition Hokusai: beyond the Great Wave.
Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is widely regarded as one of Japan’s most famous and influential artists. This publication casts fresh light on the sublime paintings and prints Hokusai created in the last thirty years of his life, up to his death at the age of ninety. Hokusai’s personal beliefs are expressed through his major brush paintings, drawings, woodblock prints and illustrated books. This title gives due attention to the contribution of Hokusai’s daughter Eijo (Ōi), also an accomplished artist.
The late subjects and styles of Hokusai were based on a mastery of eclectic Japanese, Chinese and European techniques, and an encyclopaedic knowledge of nature, myth and history. Hokusai: beyond the Great Wave explores the finest collections of his work in Japan and around the world with a uniquely valuable overview of the artist’s career
