The AFRONAUTS, by chrispa on Apr 17, 2013 13:08:30 GMT 1, Not Urban Art - but something I thought people on here might be interested in
The Afronauts is a Zambian Space project by Conceptual Artist Cristina De Middel, using the short lived Zambian Space project of the 60's as a jump off point she created a series of photoworks on the theme - see the photoworks here
www.lademiddel.com/eng/ldmeng.html
These were collected in what looks like a fantastic artists book (if only I had one)
thisbookistrue.wordpress.com/the-book/
Limited to only 1000 and all sold
Cristina is now up for this years Deutsche Bรถrse Photography Prize at the Photographers gallery in London
thephotographersgallery.org.uk/photography-prize-2013
She is also on show there from the end of the week
And Finally, there is a limited print release tomorrow

I didn t expect to find about her here.
I saw her exhibition on the La New Gallery in Madrid and it was amazing!

The AFRONAUTS, by sakyamuni on Apr 29, 2013 9:20:50 GMT 1, the book looks great, and has many great pictures, but i am not too convinced by the choice for the print. They could have chosen many better examples of her work. She also has a new book to be release very soon, only 500 available, and a limited edition of 250 with a print included. Should be interesting...

The AFRONAUTS, by chrispa on Apr 29, 2013 10:24:22 GMT 1, One or two of the photo's have been done as prints already (in very expensive low editions)..its hard to get one print that sums up the body of work, but I think this print does do that quite well
I also visited the exhibition a couple of weeks back and agree Afronauts is the standout (I also thought Chris Killip's work stood out, the other 2 I didnt rate).
The new book is already out
it is available here
