Blink showcases the work of 100 contemporary photographers, selected by 10 critics, curators and creative directors based around the world. Essentially an exhibition in a book, it provides an overview of the world of photography, presents the most exciting photographers of today and predicts the stars of tomorrow. All styles of photography are represented -- from fashion to art, from photojournalism to digital photography. An authoritative reference and source of inspiration for professionals and newcomers alike, Blink enables the reader to stay one step ahead of emerging trends in the fast-changing world of photography. Blink presents the work of 100 of the world's most exciting contemporary photographers, selected by 10 international critics, curators and creative directors. An exhibition in a book, Blink showcases up-and-coming talent from all corners of the globe, enabling the reader to stay one step ahead of emerging trends in the fast-changing world of photography. It acts as a unique reference tool for photographers, artists, designers and all those interested in contemporary culture and the image. Blink also provides a rare insight into the deliberations of an esteemed, international panel of selectors -- the 'experts' making key decisions about the future of photography. Each curator was commissioned to choose ten photographers who have broken new ground on the international photography scene in the last four years. Blink includes some acclaimed figures, such as Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Vik Muniz and Rineke Dijkstra, who the selectors believe are set to become household names over the next few years. Other photographers, such as Tomoko Isoda, Rut Blees Luxemburg and MarcAsnin, are gaining recognition for their innovative work and are about to emerge internationally. The photographers' pages are listed in A-Z order, featuring two double-page spreads of recent, exemplary images, a short explanatory text from the curator, and biographical information. In a series of ten essays written especially for this publication, the curators describe their decision-making process and reflect on the nature of contemporary photographic practice. In addition to the photographers, each curator has chosen an extract written since 1995 which they feel best illustrates the cultural context surrounding contemporary photography. The ten works reproduced in the book range from cultural studies to fiction, from criticism to journalism. Blink takes its place in a series of surveys identifying 100 of the most interesting, cutting-edge practitioners of key art forms. Earlier surveys include cream and Fresh Cream: Contemporary Art in Culture and 10x10: 10 critics, 100 architects. Blink is an exciting event in the world of photography, and, like its precursors, is set to become a much sought-after collector's item.

Plato

- there is a place - at the centre of things - a place where the beautiful can be seen with the ugly, where the power shakers and makers entertain the everyman, where the bombastic praise the meek, where the rich do lunch with the poor, where the thinkers carry the same weight as the doers, where the left sit with the right and the right hold hands with the wrong - this is a land of futility and gravitas, confined by no borders and unbound by hierarchy - I have been there, and there is all around us - and so, I am honoured to declare the birth of a new republic, my republic - Platon's Republic - it is a humbling experience to meet face to face with its citizens and ambassadors...

Sempe Journal

Creamier: Contemporary Art in Culture, is the 5th addition to Phaidon?s world renowned Cream series. Every few years, Phaidon brings together 10 illustrious curators to choose 100 of the art world?s best and most important emerging contemporary artists, and what they discover becomes an invaluable resource in an ever-changing art world. As has proven to be the case with those featured in the previous four Cream books, these will be the 100 artists the world is talking about for years to come. Valued by art collectors and art lovers alike as a road map through the ever expanding international art scene of gallery shows, museum exhibitions, biennials, and fairs, the Cream series is a must-have for anyone interested in the art world?s latest news and is an excellent introduction to the dialogue among some of its best minds. The introduction features a conversation between the ten curators discussing one of the art world?s hottest topics ? the recession and how it has impacted the market and artist creativity. Bound on high quality paper, printed to resemble broadsheet newspaper format, Creamier is packed in a custom-made box. The irony of the very latest news contained in a traditional, some would argue vanishing, format is intriguing. Readers are left to question the fluidity of the art world where an artist?s work can be fresh and new for such a short time, but where it never becomes insignificant.
