This Place

In 2014, MACK will publish 12 monographs as well as an exhibition catalogue as part of a large photographic project called 'This Place'.

This Place explores the complexity of Israel and the West Bank, as place and metaphor, through the eyes of 12 internationally acclaimed photographers (Frédéric Brenner, Wendy Ewald, Martin Kollar, Josef Koudelka, Jungjin Lee, Gilles Peress, Fazal Sheikh, Stephen Shore, Rosalind Solomon, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, and Nick Waplington).

Initiated by Frédéric Brenner, the project follows in the tradition of such projects as the Mission Héliographique in 19th-century France and the Farm Security Administration in the United States, which gathered artists who use photography to ask essential questions about culture, society and the inner lives of individuals.

The museum exhibition, curated by Charlotte Cotton -former chief photography curator at LACMA- will be touring Europe in 2014.

'Field Trip' by Martin Kollar and 'An Archeology of Fear and Desire' by Frédéric Brenner have already been published and are available in the Urban Spree webstore and in the Berlin bookshop.
