[ebooks] Photography and Collaboration: From Conceptual Art to Crowdsourcing by Daniel Palmer at Arts-Photography

Description

Kurt Kren was a vital figure in Austrian avant-garde cinema of the post-war period. His structural films; often shot frame-by-frame following elaborately pre-scored charts and diagrams; have influenced filmmakers for decades; even as Kren himself has remained a nomadic and obscure public figure. Kurt Kren; edited by Nicky Hamlyn; Simon Payne; and A. L. Rees; brings together interviews with Kren; film scores; and classic; out-of-print essays; alongside the reflections of contemporary academics and filmmakers; to add much-needed critical discussion of Krenrsquo;s legacy. Taken together; the collection challenges the canonical view of Kren that ignores his underground lineage and powerful; lyrical imagery.
