Christopher Anderson (*1970, Kelowna, Canada), a member of Magnum Photos, is one of the most influential contemporary photographers. He first gained recognition in 1999 when he boarded a small boat with 44 Haitian immigrants trying to sail to America. The boat sank in the Caribbean. For his images, he received the Robert Capa Gold Medal. Since then, Anderson’s work has defied categorization as he slips between the worlds of documentary, art, commercial and fashion photography. He was New York Magazine’s first ever “Photographer in Residence” and won the World Press Photo contest in 2007 and 2008. The images in Bleu Blanc Rouge , taken in the United States, France, Italy, Spain, and Germany, include portraits, candid moments, and still lifes. Recurring visual elements as the color red, forms and patterns, or a certain light tie the images together to a playful and poetic series. Presented in a magazine-like style, the particular intimacy of Anderson’s images enchants the viewer in an instant. Exhibition: 3.11.–8.12.2018, Ravestijn Gallery, Amsterdam

What happens when advances in technology allow many things to be produced for more or less nothing? And what happens when those things are then made available to the consumer for free? Chris Anderson considers a brave new world where the old economic certainties are being undermined by a growing flood of free goods.

Magnum-Fotograf Christopher Anderson stellt in diesem Buch eine sehr persönliche Arbeit vor. Anderson hatte für seine Dokumentationen aus Kon- fliktzonen auf der ganzen Welt internationale Anerkennung geerntet. Doch nach der Geburt seines Sohnes wandte er sich ab von der Kriegsfotografie und hin zu intimeren Betrachtungen:'Diese Bilder sind die organische Reaktion auf eine Erfahrung, die gleich- zeitig die einzigartigste und die universellste der Welt ist: die Geburt eines Kindes. (.) Während ich das intensive Glück dieses neuen Lebens erfuhr, erhielt mein Vater eine Lungenkrebsdiagnose. Es lag also nur nahe, dass ich mich mit Themen wie Leben und Tod beschäftigte. Durch meinen Sohn hatte meine eigene Rolle als Sohn neue Bedeutung gewonnen und meine Sinne waren hyperempfindsam für die Tatsache, dass auch mein Leben ver- streicht. Dann ›geschahen‹ diese Fotos. Sie sind Aufzeichnungen über die Liebe und über die zyklische Natur des Lebens.'Anderson (*1970 in Kanada) wurde unter anderem mit der Robert Capa Goldmedaille, zwei World Press Photo Awards und dem Titel 'Magazine Photographer of the Year' ausgezeichnet. Er hat zwei vielbeachtete Mono- grafien veröffentlicht, Nonfiction (2003) und Capitolio (2009).

Moneyball meets Freakonomics in this myth-busting guide to understanding—and winning—the most popular sport on the planet. Innovation is coming to soccer, and at the center of it all are the numbers—a way of thinking about the game that ignores the obvious in favor of how things actually are. In The Numbers Game, Chris Anderson, a former professional goalkeeper turned soccer statistics guru, teams up with behavioral analyst David Sally to uncover the numbers that really matter when it comes to predicting a winner. Investigating basic but profound questions—How valuable are corners? Which goal matters most? Is possession really nine-tenths of the law? How should a player’s value be judged?—they deliver an incisive, revolutionary new way of watching and understanding soccer.
