Trolleyology - Julia Peyton Jones - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Trolleyology - Julia Peyton Jones - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Since they were founded in 2001, Trolley Books has been highly regarded as a maverick independent publisher of photography, reportage, contemporary art and, recently, literature. Trolley’s founder Gigi Giannuzzi was a well-known figure in the publishing and photographic industries for his original and dynamic approach to photobook publishing as well as his unrelenting support of photographers and important but underexposed stories. However aged 49 he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died on Christmas Eve, 2012. Shortly before his death, work began on a new book TROLLEYOLOGY, a look at the story behind Gigi and Trolley, which also marked our first decade in publishing. TROLLEYOLOGY presents previously unseen material from the making of the award-winning books, including personal images, contact sheets and photographers’ recollections, documenting the unique stories from each book and the importance of this small but potent publishing house. It also features interviews with our photographers, writers, artists and friends, from the worlds of photography, art and publishing. TROLLEYOLOGY brings together photographers including Nan Goldin, Alex Majoli, Stanley Greene, Paolo Pellegrin, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Tom Stoddart, Nina Berman, Thomas Dworzak, Alixandra Fazzina, Robin Maddock, and Jamie Morgan. It also includes contributions from other members of the Trolley family such as the artists Paul Fryer, Sarah Lucas, Polly Morgan, Mat Collishaw, Le Gun and writers Iphgenia Baal, Sean O Hagan, Julian Stallabrass and cultural historian Barry Miles. The book contains a foreword by Serpentine Gallery directors Julia Peyton-Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Schools Of Art - - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Schools Of Art - - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

A photographic survey of UK schools of art by artist Matthew Cornford and writer John Beck. Contemporary colour photographs of these often architecturally significant buildings are accompanied by captions detailing each art school’s history. Cumulatively they reveal the changes undergone by many of these vital institutions and offer a reflection on the state of art education today. Artist Matthew Cornford and writer John Beck studied at art school in Great Yarmouth in the early 1980s. Three decades later they found the building boarded up and for sale. Was the closure of this art school of simply local significance, they wondered, or part of a broader story about the changing place of art and art education in the country? Combining fieldwork and archival digging, over the last ten years the pair have explored the towns and cities of the United Kingdom, building a photographic record of each art school building, or the site upon which it stood, and compiling a capsule history of each institution. Cumulatively, the images are a reminder of quite how many art schools there were in the UK, with over 150 still in operation as recently as the 1960s. As contemporary photographs, the images also speak to a complex and varied history of amalgamations, closures, renovations, demolitions and shifting priorities in art education and beyond. Schools Of Art is a selection of 75 photographs and captions from Beck and Cornford’s ongoing survey, covering the celebrated and the forgotten, the repurposed and the dismantled institutions that fuelled and shaped the creative life of the UK for over a hundred and fifty years. Among the questions raised by this work are fundamental ones regarding the value and significance of arts education and its contribution to the health and prosperity of our towns and cities.

Nick Waplington: Double Dactyl - - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Nick Waplington: Double Dactyl - - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

British photographer Nick Waplington combines large format photographs of friends and family, scenes of British streets and seaside, with an added dimension of digital manipulation. Ranging from the almost undetectable, to the surreally fantastic. Double Dactyl accompanied Nick Waplington's solo show at The Whitechapel Gallery, London, December 2007-January 2008. One of Britain's leading contemporary photographers, Waplington first came to public notice with Living Room (1991), a photographic portrait based on the everyday lives of two close-knit families in Nottingham. Since then, often working in book form, he has become known for photographing British social scenery, and his life and close circle of friends and family in East London, where he lives and works. As an artist, Nick Waplington cannot be categorised. His work combines the enigmatic and the everyday, the complex and the straightforward, and the title of his Double Dactyl exhibition embodies these uncomfortable dualities. The word 'dactyl' comes from the Greek dactylos, a word with a mundane literal meaning: finger. In the technical language of poetic theory, however, a dactyl refers to a unit of rhythm that has three syllables, with the emphasis on the first (the long-short-short pattern resembling the joints of a finger). And yet this aesthetic terminology seems less pretentious when we realise that a double dactyl simply describes the rhythm of the artist's name: Nicholas Waplington. If the photographs in Double Dactyl are united by anything, they are united by Waplington's own multiplicity as an artist. His body of work could be described as a journey around the documentary, one that has prodded and played with notions of authenticity, authority and truth that conventionally define the genre. It could also be described as an experiment in doubleness.

I Am. We Are. Liberty - - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

I Am. We Are. Liberty - - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Cloth-covered box containing catalogues, postcards and posters celebrating and exploring the 150th anniversary of London's iconic store. The Liberty story begins 150 years ago when Mr Arthur Lasenby Liberty opened his first store on Regent Street, May 15th 1875. To mark this special anniversary year Liberty are embarking on a non-conventional program of cultural activities, starting with an exhibition within their landmark Tudor-inspired Arts & Crafts building, curated by independent consultant and art historian Ester Coen. The exhibition is entitled ‘I Am. We Are. Liberty’ and is designed to invite visitors into a journey through the often unseen aspects of the Liberty Archive and Design Studio, presenting new historical and cultural perspectives alongside the well-known and much-loved prints and fabrics, with a story that reveals Liberty to be more than an enterprise, more than a store, and more than a design company. The strength of Liberty’s cultural relevance will also be shown alongside several external partner collaborations throughout this year, including at the William Morris Gallery, the Wallace Collection, the Sir John Soane Museum and the Imperial War Museum. Accompanying the exhibitions will be a publication designed to weave together the various strands of Liberty’s cultural offering. Also slightly unconventional in approach, the publication will be not so much a book, as a box filled with individual publications and objects that relate to the various histories, collaborations and archive materials involved, including postecards, posters and swatches of original Liberty fabric.

Zoltar The Magnificent - Kieron Livingstone - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Zoltar The Magnificent - Kieron Livingstone - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Zoltar The Magnificent was formed in 2002 in London’s Soho. A clothing store and book shop, an installation and an art gallery, since then it has existed as both a widely acclaimed international fashion label, as well as an underground artistic collaborator. Fusing both fashion and art, they continue to infiltrate creative institutions, rupturing expectations of visual culture. To celebrate ten years of guerrilla activity Zoltar have created their first comprehensive collection of complete works to date; a cardinal silkbound, gold-embossed book, echoing the craft and design of ancient religious texts, documenting the continued machinations of this art, fashion and design house. Zoltar has produced many notable collaborations, including a major film commission by Nike in 2010 for their World Cup teams, another with actor Rhys Ifans, and lending their trademark style to the windows in Selfridges to curating Frank 151 magazine, and working with artists from famed photographer Mick Rock to New York surrealist painter Robert Hawkins. The Zoltar clothing range, designed by Macmillan and Livingstone, has also been fuelled by collaborations with notable designers Bella Freud and Anita Pallenberg. Never conforming and consistently innovating Zoltar’s attempts at cultural terrorism continue to dominate. Confrontational, combative and cutting-edge; Zoltar is in many ways really quite magnificent. “Zoltar was born bastard child of acid house and punk rock. A molotov cocktail of art, film and clothing. One Part social comment and One part sartorial excellence…..Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” - Dan Macmillan, Project Zoltar.

Luca Pancrazzi: Stilllife - Luca Pancrazzi - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Luca Pancrazzi: Stilllife - Luca Pancrazzi - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Stilllife presents a series of monochromatic paintings by Italian artist Luca Pancrazzi, largely of props and corners in the artist's studio and working environment, painted using a detailed semi-pointillism technique that from afar reveals the subtle recreations of brushes, skulls, jars and work surfaces. Luca Pancrazzi's point of view turns upside down normal visions, he stimulates our fantasy along routes and thoughts about the present. "Nothing in this world is completely identical for the reason that two bodies cannot take up one and the same place. Each body is identical to itself only." These words of the Florentine mathematician Corrado Brodgi can be taken as an epigraph to the artist's creation. "What is important is not what and how I see, but rather the relationship between the thing that I see and me personally. We receive visual images from a single element or groups of elements; whether they are manifestations of nature or of human beings. Can we decode it? And with what degree of distortment?" Luca Pancrazzi offers us the chance to reflect on this subject of perception.

Sharmila Desai: Sristi - Sharmila Desai - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Sharmila Desai: Sristi - Sharmila Desai - Bog - Trolley Books - Plusbog.dk

Sharmila Desai and the art of her unique performance are the source of inspiration for Sristi. Here she presents, through photographs and illustrations, how her art is derived from the practice of ancient Indian worship, and fused with contemporary art and spirituality. Edited by Olivier Berggruen, Sristi also contains a foreword by Trudie Styler and Sting, with essays by Karole Armitage, Olivier Berggruen and Jeffrey Deitch. In Indian worship, Yantra - a pure geometric diagram - is a tool to stimulate inner visualisations, meditations and experiences. One of the predominant elementary diagrams is the triangle, representing the three fold process of creation (Sristi), preservation (Sthithi) and dissolution (Samhara). Shot over a period of seven years by a variety of photographers, this captivating book is an offering to the creative principle of Sristi. It follows the practice of the young, New York-based inspirational force, Sharmila Desai, who has merged many forms of Indian movement beginning with Ashtanga yoga and including elements of the martial art Kalaripayattu and the classical dance, Bharata Natyam. Sristi is edited by Olivier Berggruen, and also contains a foreword by Trudie Styler and Sting, with essays by Karole Armitage, Olivier Berggruen and Jeffrey Deitch. "When I become especially excited about someone who is creating a new type of form, I ask them to present a project at our gallery. I asked Sharmila to develop a project for us without specifying whether or not it should be dance, music or sculpture. It turned out to be a remarkable mixture of all three. Her performance was absorbing and inspiring, an invitation to enter Sharmila's unique spiritual and aesthetic world" - Jeffrey Deitch. "When she teaches you are in the company of an ancient. When she dances, she transforms herself, the goddess emerges and the watcher is transfixed. A beautiful being on whom God shines his light. She is goodness, she is kindness, she is as noble as she is simple. She moves with grace, she embodies grace. There it is: Sharmila Desai is Grace" -Trudie Styler and Sting.
