Richard Wentworth

has developed in his work new forms of relations to “things” across industrial, media, cultural, political history to the present. Making Do and Getting By (1972-ongoing), an extensive journal of encounters, has redefined both photography and sculpture—while arguably paving an artistic way towards Instagram. He has archived the layers of the present day in two projects with the Hayward Gallery, Thinking Aloud (1999) and History is Now (2015), dialogued with many different settings for his art, from biennials to museum exhibitions, to books, to unexpected locations—such as his Artangel project in 2002, An Area of Outstanding Unnatural Beauty and Black Maria at King’s Cross, working closely with the architects Gruppe in 2013. He lives and works in London.

After the Crisis
Contemporary States of Photography

Softcover, 256 pages

PDF, 256 pages

After the Crisis offers a platform for discussions between some of today’s leading artists, writers, theorists, curators, and historians aimed at questioning the very status of photography today. Contributors come from the realms of critical theory, fiction,  performance art, fashion photography, and museums, as well as film and design, and their conversations bring together history and the contemporary. Comparing the current situation of photographic images with the crisis experienced by representation at the time of the birth of photography, they set our relationship with photographic images in the digital era in perspective. Through these discussions, we come to sense the existential burden of being surrounded by images, while also beginning to grasp the historical depth of a questioning of images that started long before the current generation and engages with crucial political and cultural issues of our time.
