Photographer Mike Brodie, working under the moniker, The Polaroid Kidd, spent four years traveling the U.S. amassing a large body of work and an extremely unique view of the American lanscape – oft from the perceptive of boxcars and train tracks shared by runaways and disenfranchised youth. Unexpectedly, Brodie quit the medium entirely to become a car mechanic in the Bay Area. Twin Palms publishers will be releasing a critical monograph of his work entitled A Period of Juvenile Prosperity this month.

On December 13 Galerie 180 will open the new exhibition Demophobia with works of the Ukrainian artist duo Synchrodogs and Dutch photographer Isolde Woudstra. Both the work of Synchrodogs as that of Isolde Woudstra is about the loner, the dreamer, about identity and body language. The relation between the person being portrayed and its surroundings play an important role in the images of these photographers. Synchrodogs focuses on the extravert, while Woudstra’s focus is more on the introvert side. Their pictures share a mysterious and sometimes ominous aesthetics, and invite the viewer through surrealistic suggestions to submerge oneself in a dream state. Demophobia will be on view from December 13 to January 17, 2013 at Galerie 180 Voorstraat 180, 3311 ES Dordrecht, The Netherlands

This volume compiles all of the photographs from Terry Richardson’s wildly successful 2012 show Terrywood, held at the OHWOW gallery in Los Angeles. Terrywood is the photographer’s vision of everything that Hollywood has meant and continues to mean in the public imagination: grand-scale glitz, big-budget glamour-and of course the awards ceremonies, in homage to which Richardson produced a series of ten award statuettes for the show, fashioned in his own bespectacled likeness.
