Bit of a Joel Tettamanti monster today, but any regulars to The Propagandist will know i do loves a bit of snow so, and as such am a massive fan of Mr Tettamanti. Born in Cameroon, Tettamanti's images evoke feelings of cold quiet isolation, his shoots take him around the world to various locations enabeling him to present the viewer with destinations they would otherwise never see, from Greenland to Romainia to Japan. Below is a selection from two of his projects, firstly we have:
NUUK, GREENLAND, 2010
followed by the stunning DAVOS, SWITZERLAND 2006-2009
Sorry its been a while, been busy enjoying the world cup as well as setting up works new blog which can be seen here
Bit of a random post to get started with 3 completely unrelated subjects im lumping together, but what the hell.
First up a bit of shilling on behalf of Meatyard Arts, an art collective dedicated to the promotion of photography through exhibitions, print sales and writings. Meatyard Arts shall be exhibiting at this months Arles Photography Festival (they are showing at Rue Favorin) opening reception is the 6th july 7pm with artists Heike Löwenstein, Gwen Jones, Emil Charlaff and Simon Barber and on the 8th July 7pm with artists Alastair Hall, Rob Rusling, Ed Watts and Tom Hartford.
They are also selling their first print box, individually numbered in an edition of 10, with 12 archive prints from the artists listed above for more info see here
Next up is a video by photographer and filmmaker Sean Stiegemeier, of Eyjafjallajökull, the Icelandic Volcano that caused all the flight chaos a couple of months back. see Sean's site at www.in-perfidia.com
Lastly we have a sweet little video from upcoming director Pete Chiltern, who also happens to play bass in Massachusetts based hardcore band Bane. As with all the best things stumbled over it while i was checking out tour dates and really made me smile.
Sony Playstation consistently hits us with the most creative, controversial and abstract advertising around, beow are some examples spanning the last 12 years or so of amazing adverts.
Is a place for me to post all the interesting imagery, videos etc that I stumble across, and to act as a guide and reference for my crappy memory. Any images incorrectly credited etc please notify me via jonsimpson0010(at)gmail.com, please feel free to send me any suggestions of new artists and work that you think could be featured.
