Book
Photocinema
Taking as its starting point the notion of photocinema - or the interplay of the still and moving image - the photographs, interviews, and critical essays in this volume explore the ways in which the two media converge and diverge, expanding the boundaries of each in interesting and unexpected ways. The book's innovative approach to film and photography produces a hybrid 'third space', where the whole becomes much more than the sum of its individual parts, encouraging viewers to expand their perceptions to begin to understand the bigger picture. Photocinema represents a nuanced theoretical and practical exploration of the experimental cinematic techniques exemplified by artists like Wim Wenders and Hollis Frampton. In addition to new critical essays by Victor Burgin and David Campany, the book includes interviews with Martin Parr, Hannah Starkey and Aaron Schuman and a portfolio of photographs from various new and established artists.

How Photography Became Contemporary Art
When Andy Grundberg landed in New York in the early 1970s as a
budding writer, photography was at the margins of the contemporary
art world. By 1991, when he left his post as critic for the New
York Times , photography was at the vital center of artistic
debate. Grundberg writes eloquently and authoritatively about
photography's \"boom years,\" chronicling the medium's increasing
role within the most important art movements of the time, from
Earth Art and Conceptual Art to performance and video. He also
traces photography's embrace by museums and galleries, as well as
its politicization in the culture wars of the 80s and 90s.
Grundberg reflects on the landmark exhibitions that defined the
moment and his encounters with the work of leading
photographers-many of whom he knew personally-including Gordon
Matta-Clark, Cindy Sherman, and Robert Mapplethorpe. He navigates
crucial themes such as photography's relationship to theory as well
as feminism and artists of color. Part memoir and part history,
this perspective by one of the period's leading critics ultimately
tells a larger story about the crucial decades of the 70s and 80s
through the medium of photography.

Witkin and Witkin
A documentary that delves into the personal and professional lives of identical twins, who have the same physical appearance but different artistic expressions. One is a photographer who challenges the boundaries of morality and aesthetics with his dark and grotesque images, and the other is a painter who celebrates the joy and harmony of everyday life with his colorful and realistic paintings.

EXPERIMENTS AT DJERASSI
This Leonardo Gallery features a selection of Artist's Statements stemming from the 2016 SDM residency, 3 July–3 August. This still image is from a video of point-cloud data streaming from a three-dimensional camera installed in an outdoor location on the Djerassi property. The video display consists of thousands of individual points, creating a 3D model of a living stand of trees. Human DNA was combined with the DNA of a centipede. Relative electrical flow was measured over time from the DNA-producing data as the cells decayed.
