Photos from 'The Disco Files 1973–78: New York's Underground, Week by Week' by Vince Aletti (with interview by Fran Lebowitz) — back in stock from D.A.P. Publishing!⁠ ⁠ In 1973, Aletti became the first person to write about the emerging disco scene. His engagement with disco nightlife continued throughout the decade as he wrote his weekly column for 'Record World' magazine, which incorporated top ten playlists from DJs across the US (such as Larry Levan, Larry Sanders, Walter Gibbons, Tee Scott and Nicky Siano) alongside Aletti's own writings and interviews.⁠ ⁠ As disco grew from an underground secret to a billion-dollar industry, Aletti was there to document it, and 'The Disco Files' is his personal memoir of those days, containing everything he wrote on the subject (most of it between 1974 and1978) augmented with photography by Peter Hujar and Toby Old. This book is the definitive and essential chronicle of disco, true from-the-trenches reporting that details, week by week, the evolution of the clubs, the DJs, and above all, the music, through magazine articles, beautiful photographs, hundreds of club charts and thousands of record reviews.⁠ ⁠ Pictured here:⁠ 1.

TOMORROW, Feb 11 at 12PM EST: Vince Aletti and Carmen Winant in conversation, live on Zoom⁠ ⁠ Sign up for free on Eventbrite via link in bio⁠ ⁠ Join Aletti and Winant for this discussion on their latest publications with @selfpublishbehappy Editions!⁠ ⁠ In 2022 SPBH published 2 photobooks composed of found photography: 'The Drawer' by Vince Aletti and 'Arrangements' (co-published by @images_vevey ) by @carmen.winant.⁠ ⁠ American critic and curator Vince Aletti has been collecting photographs printed on the pages of magazines and books since the 1970s. 'The Drawer' documents the curator's hundreds of tearsheets, newspaper clippings, gallery announcements, and other ephemera stacked in a drawer of an antique flat file in his East Village apartment.⁠ ⁠ 'Arrangements' began with a simple premise: the collection of sheets of paper—ripped from books—featuring multiple photographs and inlaid narratives. Carmen's constructed pages trouble how the idea of “theme” operates as the engine of a book, instead taking the act of arranging, both in discrete pages and as a whole, as its own meaningful subject.⁠ ⁠ This event brings together the two authors to discuss how found photography can be arranged and re-contextualised to create multivalent narratives that voice our personal and collective histories. The discussion will provide attendees with an insight into the parallels and differences between approaching found material as an artist and as a curator.⁠ ⁠ #vincealettithedrawer #carmenwinantarrangements #vincealetti #carmenwinant https://www.instagram.com/p/CofpC6WJKSL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Without a printed word, 'Vince Aletti: The Drawer' from @selfpublishbehappy assembles the vintage images of a single cabinet drawer.⁠ ⁠ Read an interview between @vincealetti & @vanmeterwilliam on the acclaimed curator’s scrapbook celebration of the beauty of photography and the printed page⁠ ⁠ "At first glance, 'The Drawer' is like flipping through the scrapbook of an adult with fine-tuned taste. But it’s more than that, Aletti’s assemblage captures a portrait of the man himself. It’s a window into his tastes and passions, and a look at what moves him. It says so much about the writer, despite containing no words (there are no captions and no introduction)."⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #vincealetti #vincealettiscrapbook #vincealettithedrawer⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFuUvmprfl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you @artforum ! Read Vince Aletti (as told to Zack Hatfield) on one of the hottest forthcoming books on our list, 'Vince Aletti: The Drawer,' releasing in January from @selfpublishbehappy⁠ ⁠ Hatfield writes, "One of what seems like only a handful of working photography critics today, Vince Aletti is also a prolific collector of print ephemera, much of it archived within a single massive filing cabinet in his longtime East Village apartment. [Here,] Aletti talks about his new photobook, 'The Drawer,' which shuffles this matter into alluring, Warburgian juxtapositions of high and low, iconic and unknown. Mapped out over the course of a single afternoon, the book is a meditation on how images shape desire, a remedy to the cold calculations of the algorithm, and the wordless memoir of a great and grateful eye."⁠ ⁠ Read Aletti on Aletti via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ @vincealetti @hatzack #vincealetti #vincealettithedrawer #vincealettidrawer https://www.instagram.com/p/CmJ_ThIpf7f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"When even casual intimacy is seen as transgressive, insisting that people come together for pictures was a form of rebellion."⁠ ⁠ Read @vincealetti on Tina Barney's searching early work — on view now @kasmingallery with superb monograph, 'Tina Barney: The Beginning,' forthcoming from @radius.books in June — @newyorkermag via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ "Barney writes, in one of a series of undated diary entries, 'I want to get inside, because it’s the only thing that’s worthwhile. … I want to know what other people feel. Otherwise it’s too lonely.' In today’s photography world, when conceptual strategies and random sightseeing rule, Barney’s only-connect sincerity could not be less fashionable or more valuable, and it sets her apart. Her work can be both sharp and affectionate, but she’s neither a satirist nor an apologist. …"⁠ ⁠ @tinabarney_ #tinabarney #tinabarneythebeginning #tinabarneybeginning #photography #photobook https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDe3Ynu00H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Pierre Verger was born in Paris in 1902, as a wild child of the haute bourgeoisie, and died in 1996 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, as Pierre Fatumbi Verger, a revered elder of the Candomblé sect. In between, he lived like a nomad, like a man on the run, tracing and retracing the paths of the African diaspora and somehow managing to publish thirty books and make countless photographs, many of which were lost along the way. Among those which survived — including some sixty-two thousand negatives in Salvador’s @fundacaopierreverger — are more than a thousand images that form the basis for 'Pierre Fatumbi Verger: United States of America 1934 and 1937 from @damiani_books — the first book to focus on Verger’s early work across North America.…⁠ ⁠ In these photographs, he tends to move in closer to his subjects, who are more likely to look back at him and, if the chemistry is right, smile. Yet there’s nothing lascivious in Verger’s gaze. He may be smitten, as any observer would be by a handsome man, but he’s also making a picture—not just for himself but for all of us. The pleasure he takes in that act may be complicated by desire, but it’s never so private that we can’t enjoy it, too."⁠ ⁠ Read more of Vince Aletti's superb review of 'Pierre Fatumbi Verger: United States of America 1934 & 1937' via linkinbio @newyorkermag⁠ ⁠ Edited with introduction by Javier Escudero Rodríguez.

"From the beginning, DeSana’s work was erotic, compulsive, gender-fluid, and all the more unsettling for its comic flashes."⁠ ⁠ See photos and read Vince Aletti's excellent review of 'Jimmy DeSana: Submission,' on view @brooklynmuseum ⁠with "an equally shrewd and exhaustive catalogue" copublished by @delmonico_books⁠ in this week's @newyorkermag via linkinbio⁠ ⁠ Aletti quotes Laurie Simmons, DeSana's close friend and executor of his estate, on his later work: “I think my life changed a lot and that changed my way of looking at things. I didn’t want to joke about sexuality. I wanted to talk about death and nothingness, the way that I perceived death.”⁠ ⁠ Catalog edited with text by @drewmsawyer ⁠ Preface by @annepasternak ⁠ Epilogue by @lauriesimmons⁠ ⁠ @jimmydesana #jimmydesana #jimmydesanasubmission @vincealetti https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm_tHfaO7z9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
