Presentation from the Museum of Modern Art's 10th Anniversary Forum on Contemporary Photography,  September 22, 2020.

The Photographic II: Signal Or Noise⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ The first chapter, Other Pictures, questioned the special potential of the still image. In Signal or Noise, the gaze is turned inwards and explores the camera as a metaphor for human existence.⁣ ⁣ To a large extent, photography is produced by machines. The reading of an image thus also requires knowledge of the technological development of the discipline, especially because photography has gradually anchored itself in the social sphere. The more images and their environment merge, the more signal and noise become interchangeable.⁣ ⁣ Readable, manipulated, and hidden information are increasingly difficult to distinguish from one another, yet are of equal importance in our visual culture. ⁣ ⁣ #TonyCokes #LouiseLawler #SethPrice #ThomasRuff #SondraPerry #DavidHorvitz #HanaMiletić #ForensicArchitecture #ThePhotographic https://www.instagram.com/p/B7tCE1CHhqL/?igshid=vn05esfqs3bv

BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: SETH PRICE "Social Synthetic" (2017) This huge catalogue is the first comprehensive publication on Price’s varied oeuvre. It offers an unflinching portrait of contemporary, mediated Western life. The exhibition at Stedelijk Museum is the first survey of the American artist’s work. A key theme in Price’s work is the self under technological pressure. This is often expressed in terms of the ‘skins’ of surface, packaging, and wrapping: a photographic study of a person’s skin obtained through the technologies Google employs for mapping; a vacuum-formed plastic relief presenting a body part stranded in plastic; a large wall sculpture depicting the negative space between two people engaged in intimate action, greatly enlarged from a tiny internet jpeg. ‘Seth Price is a key figure in addressing technology and artistic authorship. His work traces an important art historical shift from the concept of collage, where chance played a major role and the image was constructed of multiple layers, to the concept of a unified image, which envelops us in an endless, undifferentiated, digital stream.’ – Beatrix Ruf, Director of Stedelijk Museum Published on the occasion of the exhibition Seth Price: Social Synthetic, at Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (15 April – 3 September 2017), and at Museum Brandhorst, Munich (12 October 2017 – 18 March 2018). Texts by: Cory Arcangel, Ed Halter, Achim Hochdörfer, Branden W Joseph, John Kelsey, Michelle Kuo, Rachel Kushner, Laura Owens, Ariana Reines, Beatrix Ruf. The heaviest volume on Price's work to date. Designed by Eric Wrenn. Available in the bookshop and via our new website. #worldfoodbooks #sethprice #2017 #stedelijkmuseum (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
