Presents, in a stunningly beautiful production, Vik Muniz's "Seeing Is Believing". That is to say, seeing is NOT believing. "Best described as an artist who uses a camera, Vik Muniz blurs the line between painting, sculpture, and photography. He has made a number of different series of photographs in which he constructs images, often portraits, out of materials such as sugar, chocolate syrup, and thread. In another series, he drew famous images (using his aforementioned non-traditional media) like the photograph of Neil Armstrong on the moon, from memory. And through his work, viewers witness the complicated separation between a real image that seems definitely to exist somewhere, and the means by which Muniz achieves a representation of that image, first re-creating it, then making a photograph of it" (Publisher's blurb). Along with now-iconic artists such as Gerhard Richter, Richard Artschwager, and Thomas Demand, Vik Muniz comes to mind as re-thinking the whole idea of "representation", which is a foundational notion and function of photography, in order to make the point that photographic representation is as much a creative interpretation (of reality) as art, even at its most factual and realistic (rather than Surrealistic). "I have neither the interest nor the means to produce illusions that expand the concept of what an illusion is - George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are already doing that for us" (Vik Muniz). An absolute "must-have title for Vik Muniz collectors. This copy is magnificently signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Vik Muniz. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Vik Muniz's signature on this copy is the most beautiful we have ever seen. This title is a great art photography book. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 75 plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER VIK MUNIZ TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). Signed by Author(s).…

Photographs by Vik Muniz; essays by Charles Ashley Stainback and Mark Alice Durant; interview with Muniz by Stainback. 164 pages; 75 full-page color plates; 9.75 x 12.25 inches. Exhibition history, bibliography. The artist's first monograph, published in conjunction with his solo exhibition at the International Center of Photography, NYC; selected as one of the top ten photography books of 1998 by the New York Times Book Review. From the publisher: "Vik Muniz works with the syntax of photography, but his images are not simply photographic. Muniz's pictures are illusions that draw from the language of visual culture, but they twist and redefine our perception to both the commonplace and the fantastic. Muniz's images humorously, as well as critically, challenge our abilities to discern fact from fiction, reality from illusion. Utilizing a panoply of unorthodox materials--granulated sugar, tomato sauce, chocolate syrup, a 16,000-yard piece of sewing thread, and soil--Muniz first creates an image, sculpturally manipulates it, then photographs it. Whether a portrait, a landscape, or an iconic image from history, Muniz's images are never what they seem.".…

"Vik Muniz works with the syntax of photography, but his images are not simply photographic. As Vince Aletti has pointed out in the Village Voice, Muniz has teased the medium mercilessly and with an infectious glee. He makes pictures of picturessly, punning documents that subvert photography by forcing it to record not the natural world but a fiction, a simulation. Munizs pictures are illusions that draw from the language of visual culture, but they twist and redefine our perception to both the commonplace and the fantastic. Munizs images humorously, as well as critically, challenge our abilities to discern fact from fiction, reality from illusion. Utilizing a panoply of unorthodox materialsgranulated sugar, tomato sauce, chocolate syrup, a 16,000-yard piece of sewing thread, and soilMuniz first creates an image, sculpturally manipulates it, then photographs it. Whether a portrait, a landscape, or an iconic image from history, Munizs images are never what! they seem. This book, the artist s first monograph, is produced in conjunction with Munizs one-person exhibition at the International Center of Photography in New York, opening September 1998., Best described as an artist who uses a camera, Vik Muniz blurs the lines between painting, sculpture, and photography. He has made a number of different series of photographs in which he constructs images--often portraits--out of materials such as sugar, chocolate syrup, and thread. In another series, he drew famous images (using his aforementioned nontraditional media), like the photograph of Neil Armstrong on the moon, from memory. Muniz plays freely in the field of representation. And through his work, viewers witness the complicated separation between a real image that seems definitely to exist somewhere, and the means by which Muniz achieves a representation of that image--first re-creating it, then making a photograph. He writes that "illusion becomes a way to improve our understanding of what reality is and humor becomes a subject for serious investigation." By setting up images that aim to unsettle viewers` perceptual faculties as a way of expanding understanding, and stimulating discovery, Muniz takes part in a trend in image-making that includes artists such as Gerhard Richter, Richard Artschwager, and Thomas Demand. Published alongside his solo exhibition at the International Center of Photography in New York, Seeing Is Believing is the first monograph on Vik Muniz. The book includes essays by Charles Ashley Stainback and by Mark Alice Durant, as well as a dialogue between Muniz and Stainback." 4°. 164 S., ca 100 Abb., ill.

S.O.S.: Scenes of Sounds, one of the inaugural exhibitions of The Tang, laid the groundwork for the laboratory-like approach: the focus was not on traditional museum fare, but on sound - something to hear first, not necessarily see. The exhibition was an unconventional and exploratory display of art and material culture, which included an interactive work by Alan Berliner, a Chatty Cathy doll from 1959 and an outdoor sound sculpture by Beverley Estabrook Mastrianni that asked visitors provocative questions about their museum experience.
