“Stateside” is Jackie Nickerson’s sweeping, fragmented visual diary of a decade living and working across the USA. From streetscapes in Chicago to military installations on Hawaii, from Utah landscapes to New York skyscrapers, Nickerson used whatever camera she had at hand—medium format, 35mm, point and shoot, iPhone—to fix raw glimpses of America at this peculiar, precarious time. Her focus was less on specific locations than on repeated motifs, as if these photos could have been taken virtually anywhere in America. Chainlink fences, basketball courts, suburban houses and classrooms, gas stations and even battleships become markers of sameness, and of the functionalism that fuel’s America’s economy.

Unlike other photobooks that trace a journey through America, both as place and idea (most famously Robert Frank’s “The Americans” and Joel Sternfeld’s “American Prospects”), in “Stateside” Nickerson avoids “definitive” images on individual pages. Instead she made large prints of her work, hung them in an overlapping sequence on her studio wall, and then re-photographed them. The result is a compelling, ongoing narrative of the complex, troubled America of today.

“Birds” by Clark Winter

Consisting of images photographed from the pages of antique ornithological volumes, this book is Clark Winter’s tribute to the glorious world of exotic birds. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, explorers wandered the planet in search of the unknown, sometimes traveling for years with little communication and guidance. Charles Darwin and his predecessors and contemporaries enjoyed a self-assured sense of purpose, though their actual knowledge during such journeys was often limited. When they returned home with specimens of hitherto unknown species of flora and fauna, all were astounded by such visual extravagance. Of birds in particular, their shapes, intricate color patterns and feathers were overwhelming—alternatively described as divinely inspired or the result of evolution and the battle for survival: a debate that continues to this day. With its intricate hand-colored illustrations, “Birds” is a testament to this lost sense of awe, one difficult yet not impossible to access in today’s connected world.

Originally published in 1971, Gordon Parks’ “Born Black” was the first book to unite his writing and his photography. It was also the first to provide a focused survey of Parks’ documentation of a crucial time for the civil rights and Black Power movements. Today, more than 50 years later, this expanded edition of “Born Black” illuminates Parks’ vision for the book and offers deeper insight into the series within it. The original publication featured nine articles commissioned by “Life” magazine from 1963 to 1970—some never-before published—supplemented with later commentary by Parks and presented as his personal account of these important historical moments. “Born Black” includes the original text and images, as well as additional photographs from each series, spreads from the 1971 book, early correspondence, reproductions of related “Life” articles, and new scholarly essays.

Gordon Parks was born on this day in 1912. Happy birthday to one of the most groundbreaking figures in 20th century photography!

“I regard myself as an unlicensed, self-appointed observer and critic of South African society which I continue to explore with the camera.” David Goldblatt

David Goldblatt, who would have celebrated his 95th birthday today, chronicled the structures, people and landscapes of South Africa from 1948 until his death in June 2018. Well known for his photography which explored both public and private life in South Africa, Goldblatt created a body of powerful images depicting life during the time of apartheid. When apartheid ended he concentrated more on the country's landscapes. What differentiates Goldblatt's body of work from those of other anti-apartheid artists is that he photographed issues that went beyond the violent events of the era and reflected the conditions that led up to them. His forms of protest have a subtlety that traditional documentary photographs may lack. Despite being the first South African to be given a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and in 2018 a major retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, he never thought of himself as an artist. That wasn’t important to him. All that mattered was staying engaged and using photography to understand South Africa, and we are immensely grateful for his dedication.

Francesca Allen’s “Konkursas” depicts participants in Lithuania’s Konkursas Pasaulio Ilgaplaukės annual competition for the world’s longest hair. Here hundreds of girls and women with thousands of feet of hair walk the runway and have their lovingly groomed hair measured by gloved judges, before shaking it in a ceremonial finale. Allen’s fascination with ritual and coming-of-age sparked her interest in the contest, one which blends pageantry with folklore and allows the artist to deepen her thoughts on hair within femininity: “Hair influences how we are perceived by others, how professional we appear, our identity, our religion and culture. It plays a huge role in the enactment of self and also our discrimination against others.” The resulting photographs—haunting, funny, slightly surreal—explore the dichotomy between modernity and tradition, obsession and aspiration, and ideas of girl- and womanhood.

This book is the first of many to be printed and published by Steidl in collaboration with Chloé Arts, an initiative driven under the creative direction of Chemena Kamali, embracing Chloé’s legacy of female creativity. Its mission is to celebrate outstanding female talent, nurture emerging artists, and create unexpected interdisciplinary conversations across different fields of the arts.
