The catalogue is based upon a “nonexistent Exhibition” with the theme “Everyday,” and participating artists include,  Richard Kern, Nadav Kander,  Kim Gordon to many others.

“One by one, scroll through the days. Some long, seemingly endless. Others slip away, as if we had not even met them. Some remain in our memories forever. Others are repeated in a cycle of almost becoming bored. Show some love and serenity. More a blanket of darkness and torment. Some happen and it is as if they had not. Others are turning points. Some keep their promises. Others see them breaking. Some are eagerly awaited. Others do not have expectations.”

In the days that opposites coexist. The essence of our being contradictory.

The catalogue was previewed during the festival and is now online. To find out more about the festival and the artists participating read more here: http://melindagibson.blogspot.com/, http://www.controlcfestival.com/ and http://www.studioblanco.it/

Tokyo Tokyo – the name of the newest publication of WassinkLundgren echoes the series of diptychs that depict the daily urban life of the inhabitants of Japan’s megalopolis. Always twice, the Dutch artist duo WassinkLundgren catches its subject, from both sides, as if on a catwalk or in a flurry of journalistic flashbulbs. Always twice appear the various fragments of the surroundings, form a more complete image of the location and create animated situations that draw the viewer into the scene. Always twice, taken from two different angles, emerge the different neighborhoods in the background of the pictures, showing streets and trees, parks and houses, passersby and animals. Always twice, discarding the mythical ‘decisive moment’ of traditional documentary photography.

From Ikebukuro to Odaiba, the book reveals a journey through Tokyo, capturing the existing range of ages, gender, and types of people, and revealing the social significance of the medium of photography, twice as strong.

Thijs groot Wassink (1981) and Ruben Lundgren (1983) studied at the Utrecht School of the Arts, and completed their MA Fine Art at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, and at Central Saint Martins in London, UK. They live, work and study in both London (Wassink) and Beijing (Lundgren).
