Named a Best Art Book of 2017 by the New York Times and Artforum In South of Pico Kellie Jones explores how the artists in Los Angeles's black communities during the 1960s and 1970s created a vibrant, productive, and engaged activist arts scene in the face of structural racism. Emphasizing the importance of African American migration, as well as L.A.'s housing and employment politics, Jones shows how the work of black Angeleno artists such as Betye Saar, Charles White, Noah Purifoy, and Senga Nengudi spoke to the dislocation of migration, L.A.'s urban renewal, and restrictions on black mobility. Jones characterizes their works as modern migration narratives that look to the past to consider real and imagined futures. She also attends to these artists' relationships with gallery and museum culture and the establishment of black-owned arts spaces. With South of Pico, Jones expands the understanding of the histories of black arts and creativity in Los Angeles and beyond.

Photographe voyageur, Pentti Sammallahti saisit au fil de ses pérégrinations les mystères de la nature et parmi eux, le monde des oiseaux. Bords de mer, étangs, parcs, plaines infinies, frondaisons de forêts, paysages enneigés... Dans ces espaces isolés à travers le monde, les oiseaux révèlent avec malice et poésie leur présence. Tels des contes visuels, ses photographies en noir & blanc témoignent d'une attention particulière accordée aux détails, à la lumière qui modèle les espaces, aux étendues silencieuses dans lesquelles surgit soudain une présence humaine ou animale. L'expérience de l'image est double : au-delà de sa virtuosité narrative, son usage de la bichromie, avec des blancs immaculés, tel le plumage de ses cygnes ou de ses flamands roses, confrontés à des noirs profonds, crée un jeu sur les textures et restitue avec force un monde où les oiseaux tiennent une place singulière.
