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
If a country wants to remain economically vibrant, it needs to manufacture
things. In recent years, however, many nations have become obsessed with
making money out of selling services, leaving the real business of
manufacturing to others. Makers is about how all that is being reversed. Over
the past ten years, the internet has democratised publishing, broadcasting and
communications, leading to a massive increase in the range of participation in
everything digital - the world of bits. Now the same is happening to
manufacturing - the world of things. Chris Anderson, bestselling author of The
Long Tail, explains how this is happening: how such technologies as 3D
printing and electronics assembly are becoming available to everybody, and how
people are building successful businesses as a result. Whereas once every
aspiring entrepreneur needed the support of a major manufacturer, now anybody
with a smart idea and a little expertise can make their ideas a reality. Just
as Google, Facebook and others have created highly successful companies in the
virtual world, so these new inventors and manufacturers are assuming positions
of ever greater importance in the real world.The next industrial revolution is
on its way.
For ship model-makers and students and enthusiasts of historic sailing ships, this generously illustrated book is essential reading and invaluable as a reference. It describes and depicts in detail how 17th-century English, French, Dutch and other European trading ships and warships were rigged from stem to stern throughout this colorful period in maritime history. The book begins in 1600, the earliest date of our detailed knowledge of ships' rigging, and the earliest to which that characteristic 17th-century fitting, the spritsail topmast, has been traced. It ends in 1720, roughly the time when the spritsail topmast was superceded by the jib boom and other innovations of the 18th-century rigging. The book's 12 chapters cover every aspect of ship's rigging of the period, from the lower masts and bowsprit to the running rigging of the topsails and topgallants. Over 360 fine line drawings illustrate every item used in the rigging. Twenty-five halftones, extensively annotated, illustrate typical ships that plied the seas in the days of the bowsprit mast - English merchantmen and gun ships, French and dutch men - of- war and more.
