Laura Plageman

 加利福尼亚摄影师laura Plageman将自己所拍的一组风景照片打印出来进行纸上“雕塑”，之后再次拍摄这些被破坏的画面。

Contender Laura Plageman‘s landscapes are constructed creations where lush, verdant lands and surreal, white skies buckle, bend, tear and fold. The resulting dreamworld she’s created is at times stark and isolated, but imbued with wonderment and resplendency. To create the work, Plageman re-photographs enlarged prints with a large-format camera, manipulating and interacting with the original. A fold in the print, when re-photographed, serves as a tool to deflect and distribute light, for instance. The crisp details accentuate and enhance the evident artist’s touches.

艾未未作品 Works by Ai Weiwei

艾未未，出生于1957年，中国艺术家、激进主义分子，在建筑、策展、摄影、电影，社会及文化评论方面也有所涉及，曾参与瑞士建筑事务所 Herzog & de Meuron 为2008年北京奥运会主会场鸟巢设计。除了艺术之外，他一直致力于对中国当局的腐败和谎言进行调查，尤其是对在2008年四川地震中倒塌的校舍建造中存在的腐败丑闻进行曝光。2011年4月3日，他在北京首都机场被北京警方带走，同时他在草场地的工作室也被当局关闭。假杂志特此刊载部分他历来的艺术作品，以表对他的敬意和支持。

Ai Weiwei (born 1957) is a Chinese artist, activist, and philosopher, who is also active in architecture, curating, photography, film, and social and cultural criticism. Ai collaborated with Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron as the artistic consultant on the Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Olympics. Besides showing his art he has been investigating in the corruption and cover-ups under the power of the government. He was particularly focused at exposing an alleged corruption scandal in the construction of Sichuan schools that collapsed during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. He intensively uses the internet to communicate with people all over China, especially the young generation. On April 3, 2011 Chinese police detained him at Beijing airport and his studio in the capital was sealed off in an apparent crackdown by the regime on activists and dissidents. Jia Za Zhi posted the selected works of him to show our respect and support to him.

摄影书《AUTO FOCUS》

周末在家翻出一本于去年在广州买来的摄影书《AUTO  FOCUS》。书中编集了75位世界当代艺术家以自己为创作主体的作品，其中包括Martin Parr、Boris  Mikhailov、Patrick Tsai  and  Madi Ju以及来自中国的行为艺术家张洹。用自己身体去体验所产生作品的那种感受是无以言喻的，在拿到这本书时居然满足了我一点点的窥视欲。

Phillip Toledano

这些作品来自艺术家 Phillip Toledano 的 “Kim Jong Phil”系列，他把在朝鲜买到的关于独裁者金正日的油画重新复制，并且把画里的独裁者替换成自己。

“I’ve copied pre-existing dictatorial art. Paintings from North Korea, statues of assorted dictators (Kim Il Sung, Laurent Kabilla, and Saddam Hussein). I had these works re-created in China, and each instance, I’ve replaced the great leaders with myself.”

《怪奇談絵詞》手稿 ‘Kaikidan Ekotoba’ monster scroll

这册叫《怪奇談絵詞》的神秘手稿，描绘有33个怪物和妖精，大多是来自于日本九州的传说（个别则来自日本以外）。这些绘画的作者不详，绘制时间则推断为19世纪中叶，现保存于福冈市博物馆。图片由Pink Tentacle的博主扫描自国書刊行会于2003年出版的《妖怪百物語絵巻》。我不一一翻译了，更多图片说明和大图见Pink Tentacle。

Here is a look at the Kaikidan Ekotoba, a mysterious handscroll that profiles 33 legendary monsters and human oddities, mostly from the Kyushu region of Japan (with several from overseas). The cartoonish document, whose author is unknown, is believed to date from the mid-19th century. It is now in the possession of the Fukuoka City Museum. The images are scanned by Pink Tentacle from the book ‘Youkai Hyakumonogatari Emaki’ (妖怪百物語絵巻) published by Kokusho Kankokai in 2003. You can see more details and bigger images on Pink Tentacle.
