Maybe part of the fatigue (and potential bulimia) of the internet comes from knowing that ‘everything’ is available to us at the touch of a finger. It’s all there to read instantaneously, or it can be on your doorstep in two days.

— Moyra Davey, in Maggie Nelson’s from “A LIFE, A FACE, A GAZE. Conversation with Moyra Davey” in Like Love: Essays and Conversations. (Graywolf Press, April 2, 2024)

#Repost @artbookps1 📖❤️ ・・・ “Mothers,” an essay by Moyra Davey reprinted in a hefty new @steidlverlag monograph dedicated to Davey's photographs and writings, invokes numerous artists and writers on motherhood: Norwegian writer Tomas Espedal reading his mother's bedside novels as a way to know her; Doris Lessing mothering runaway Jenny Diski; Frances Stark writing as “Mother F;” Xavier Dolan's film Mommy; Mary Gaitskill’s feeling "...that if I'd had a family I would not be a writer, and for me that would be the greater loss;” and Davey’s own circumspect feelings towards writing about her son, “suddenly a man with one foot out the door.” #moyradavey https://www.instagram.com/p/BxcVD2FJn7x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t0ooaq7vs9y5

Gold Dumps and Ant Hills / Available at www.draw-down.com / Shot in South Africa in 1992, Moyra Davey's Gold Dumps and Ant Hillsis a series of black-and-white photographs of mounds left behind by two types of excavation—one human and one animal. For Davey, the pairings of gold dumps and ant hills “invite not only our imagined associations but, as South African landscapes, our received, politically charged associations as well.” The photographs are presented here in book form for the first time.

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: THE PHOTOGRAPHIC I - OTHER PICTURES (2017) - Catalog accompanying the first part of a diptych exhibition in S.M.A.K., Ghent, spread over two years, curated by Martin Germann with Tanja Boon and Steven Humblet. The exhibition comprises new and existing work by artists and photographers including among others Mohamed Bourouissa, Moyra Davey, Roni Horn, Aglaia Konrad, Jochen Lempert, Zanele Muholi, Malick Sidibé, Dayanita Singh, and Wolfgang Tillmans. The selection, ranging from the 1960s to the present, demonstrates a lively interest in the power of the still image as a means of examining the world. It concentrates on indefinable images with an open view, whose multi-layering requires slow reading. With an introduction by Martin Germann and Philippe Van Cauteren, and an essay by Steven Humblet in Dutch and English. - Available via our website and in the bookshop tomorrow. - #worldfoodbooks #moyradavey #jitkahanzlova #wolfgangtillmans (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

We are young and we are friends of time.

By filming yourself walking around your house and talking about literature and theory and your family, you’re giving us this remarkably generous self-portrait—of what you think about most, what you read, your own artistic journey, and perhaps most of all, your body and voice moving through space in the most banal but also intimate and compelling of ways.
