The power of photography: time, mortality and memory
We take thousands of pictures nowadays, but do we still cherish them? We asked writers and artists, including Grayson Perry and Mary McCartney, to pick a shot they treasure – and tell us the role photography has played in their lives

Art and Craft (To the Best of Our Knowledge)

05.19.2013
It’s Art & Craft week at TTBOOK, but we’re not gluing macaroni to cardboard. 
From the halls of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, to the MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms; from a craft studio on the coast of Maine, to "outsider artists" at the Venice Biennale...
We’re looking at what we make, why it matters, and how it’s shaping our future.

The Photobook as Experience with John Mann


Dear friends,
Just wanted to let you know that there are still a few spots left in my course The Photobook as Experience being taught this summer at Penland in North Carolina.
It promises to be an exciting course that will examine a huge amount ( a car load full!)  of important historic and contemporary photobooks, while the students learn to edit, sequence, print, and bind their own
photographic book projects.  This course will have individual and group instruction, and is applicable to all photographic levels.

So, if you know anyone who might be interested, please consider passing this info along.

Many thanks!
John 

John Mann - The Photographic Book as Experience  June 9-21 Penland School of Crafts
This class is for people who want to expand their photographic work into the book format. We will consider what the linear (or nonlinear!) experience of the book may offer through the possibilities of photographic sequencing and book design. The class will concentrate on individual book projects (students can bring current ones or start fresh) while examining historic and experimental examples. We will explore page design, sequencing, hand bookbinding, and finesse output through advanced inkjet printing techniques. The class will include image making, digital skills, hikes, critiques, and lots of experimentation. All levels. 

Associate professor at Florida State University; exhibitions: Dan Cooney Fine Art (NYC) Ditch Projects (OR) Houston Center for Photography, Jen Bekman Gallery (NYC), Phillips de Pury (London), Conveyor Arts (NYC), Columbia College Chicago.
