The Hobbyist / Available at www.draw-down.com / What happens when #photographers and #artists incorporate hobbies into their work as a means of challenging established #practices and hierarchies? How do #hobbyists represent their passions photographically, particularly today, in our era of #digital communication and #cellphone cameras? The Hobbyist is the first major #publication to explore the relationship between photography and #hobbyculture in connection both to the photographing of hobbies and to photography as a hobby. From the hippie cultures and avant-garde tendencies of the 1960s through the DIY #culture of the 1980s to today’s maker movement, The Hobbyist explores photography’s engagement with a wide variety of lively, often quirky obsessions. The book, produced in a #magazine format to accompany an exhibition at the #Fotomuseum Winterthur, brings together short anecdotal texts, artist interview, in-depth essays and works by Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane, #BillOwens, Chris Burden and Mike Mandel. Edited by Olivia Baeriswyl, Doris Gassert, Pierre Hourquet, Anna Planas, and Thomas Seelig.

Trip out on Bill Owens never-before-published photographs of the infamous Altamont festival, 1969 A chilling mix of rock ’n’ roll fever, the electrifying effect of music and gang violence are documented by Bill Owens in the new book, Altamont 1969, shot at the iconic Rolling Stones’ festival performance which many credit with drawing the era of free love to a resounding and hideous close. Owens’ tumultuous relationship with the “west coast Woodstock” is laid bare in this book filled with many never-before-published photographs reflecting the cacophonous gathering of music lovers, hippies, Hells Angels and the like. With essays by Sasha Frere-Jones, Claudia Zanfi and Owens, himself, the book pays homage to a bygone era and a significant turning-point in contemporary American history. —Reilly Davidson @spiralstaircase1 #billowens #altamont @billowensphotography @damiani_books https://www.instagram.com/artbook/p/BzA0IiIJRLF/?igshid=9gl728ja182q
