Israeli born artist Michal Chelbin will discuss the work in her first monograph, Strangely Familiar: Acrobats, Athletes, and Other Traveling Troupes, (Aperture) at the Aperture Gallery on April 29, 2008. In her sympathetic pictures of young performers and wrestlers from small towns in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, England, and Israel, Chelbin offers a glimpse into worlds both strange and familiar. The settings, costumes, and even some of the subjects themselves may seem exotic, but her portraits look beyond that to capture a transcendent sense of individual character.

With artful composition and controlled framing—but no digital manipulation—Edgar Martins creates sublimely beautiful views of often un-beautiful sites. Martins discusses the work in his first major publication: Edgar Martins: Topologies (Aperture) featuring all of his major series: minimalist nighttime beaches, forests ravaged by fires, Iceland’s stark terrain, graphic airport runways, and colorful highway barriers that, at first glance, read like abstract murals.
