Stefan Gronert on Gottfried Jäger, Tom McDonough on Eija-Liisa Ahtila and more essays on groundbreaking photography past and present
An artist's magazine dedicated to photography, OSMOS is divided into thematic sections--some traditional, such as "Portfolio," "Stories," and "Reportage"--and others more idiosyncratic, such as "Eye of the Beholder," where gallerists and curators discuss the talents they showcase; and "Means to an End," on the side effects of nonartistic image production. This issue features a portfolio of work by artist Joiri Minaya, essays by art historian Tom McDonough on a new work by Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila, and by Stefan Gronert on the pioneer of generative photography, Gottfried Jäger; a conversation between Austrian artist Stefanie Moshammer and curator Nadja von Buseck; a story by Tim Maul to accompany a photographic installation by Mac Adams; and a reportage in the form of a stereoscopic reimagining of a turn-of-the-century image atlas of the Holy Land by Alan Koppel.
