Search 2021 is a published conceptual artwork that is a comprehensive documentation of the artist, Joshua Hashemzadeh's, internet search history. This book is a single volume (Vol.3) out of 4 that records one year's worth of searches done during the 2021 calendar year. Which parts of you live online? And which parts don't? The oddity of engaging with the intangible is something we have normalized, lusted for, and feared, as our digital footprint and virtual ecosystems have matured to scale - It's this contemplation that inspires my ongoing series, "SEARCH," a collection of performance-driven art books that archive and materialize all of my time on the web. This three-volume set, comprising over 1,000 pages of searches, documents the curiosities, inspirations, and methodology behind my studio practice and life as an artist from Jan. 1 - Dec.31, 2021. Originally started in 2015 after the completion of my undergraduate program at SFAI, this endeavor aims to build an immersive library that documents my web history over the course of my life. Although developed as a loose bibliography for my artistic practice I find these objects can exist sculpturally on their own. These artworks reflect on time and physical mass in a visceral, and ubiquitous manner that I harken back to early inspirations like On Kawara and Richard Serra. Search 2021 touches on similar sculptural principles and further connects to the notion of a "body" as it moves through digital space. I love knowing that as my archive gets longer, the work will inevitably get bigger. At some point as I age the work will outsize my physical presence and hold more information than I can ever remember. At that point, it becomes questionable which object represents us best, the body, or the history it leaves behind.

Går det att få fram mystik, humor, värme och andra stämningar i en bildberättelse om en lagerlokal? Går det utan att fokusera på människan? Jag tycker det. Färgfoton av Markus BrandefeltFörord av Göran Greider

On one of Spencer Ostrander's early visits to Times Square, the rain began to fall. The people in the crowd, suddenly draped in plastic, were transformed into abstract, brilliant reflections of the massive advertising that surrounded them. Designed to entrap the consumer with illusions of status, the good life, and happiness by product, the vast LED light boards turned visitors into walking ads for MTV, Coca-Cola, and The Lion King. And when the flickering LEDs hit his camera's sensor, they created streaks of color and lines that don't exist, but are part of the photos, a technical mirage that perfectly suits Ostrander's subject-the empty allure of late capitalism. Moving among the people with his camera, Ostrander began to see sorrow, tenderness, despair-a hidden story that starts to reveal itself in his photographs.SPENCER OSTRANDER (*1984, Seattle) has lived in New York City for the past two decades. He has done extensive work in all forms of photography and has recently completed two other book projects: Bloodbath Nation, with a long text on American gun violence by Paul Auster and Long Live King Kobe.

The photobook visually and materially contextualizes arrangements of photographs and brings them into a sensually tangible form. The book format, the materiality of the paper, and the type of binding have just as much of an effect on the viewer as the selection of images, their positioning in the layout, typography, and the texts. The artist and theorist Bettina Lockemann provides an approach to the medium from a research perspective: considering the photobook as an independent subject of art theories, her phenomenological discussion complements methodological lines of thought. An important contribution to the photobook as an independent field of research, Lockemann elaborates precise terms for analyzing this medium. Through a practice-based examination of contemporary photobooks, this guide emphasizes the status of the photobook as an artwork in its own right.BETTINA LOCKEMANN (*1971) is an artist and scholar specialized in artistic documentary photography. After studying art photography and media art in Leipzig and earning a PhD in art history at the ABK Stuttgart she was professor for practice and theory of photography at the HBK Braunschweig for five years. She lives in Cologne.

A `dachä is a country house, made of wood, used by Soviet citizens to escape the rigors of the city for rural idyll. Widespread in the countries of the former USSR, this important cultural and architectural form has been largely ignored academically. In Dacha Fyodor Savintsev documents this particularly Russian phenomenon, his photographs constitute a unique record of a rapidly vanishing fairytale wooden world. The word `dachä has been used to describe constructions ranging from grand imperial villas to small sheds. Originally bestowed by the Tsar to reward courtiers, this custom continued following the revolution, with Soviet cooperatives building dachas for their members. Supposedly for the benefit of labourers, in reality they were destined for those favoured by the State, including famous writers, architects and artists ¿ from Pasternak to Prokofiev. The fall of the Soviet Union accelerated their use, as economic uncertainty forced city dwellers towards self-sufficiency. The dacha tradition has survived Revolution, war and the collapse of Communism, becoming an integral part of life in the process. Using contemporary photographs to showcase these uniquely individual buildings for the first time, alongside an introduction explaining their historical and cultural context, Dacha is the only publication of its kind.

Renowned international photographer Magdalena Lily McCarson here turns toward Argentine tango, one of her great passions. Her poems and photographs embody the allure and sensuality of this international dance. The work in this volume ranges from the streets and milongas of Buenos Aires to the human form itself, coming together to create this assemblage of impossible loves dedicated to an enduring artform.
