Alex Webb, cover of "The Suffering of Light" (Aperture), with an essay by Geoff Dyer
Please join us to celebrate the launch of Alex’s new book, The Suffering of Light, at Aperture at 6:30pm, which will include a conversation with photographer and critic Max Kozloff and a booksigning afterwards. (To take a look inside Alex’s new book, follow this link to the PhotoEye site.) And here’s a link to a portfolio of Alex’s work from the new book on the La Lettre site, courtesy of the Robert Klein Gallery in Boston, which will have a joint show of our work on Saturday, September 17th, from 2-4pm.
And below you’ll find a rough, homemade video of our Violet Isle show at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, an exhibition mentioned in The New York Times on Sunday and reviewed in The Boston Globe on Tuesday, May 31st. For those who are part of the “Two Looks” online community, please let us know if you get a chance to see Violet Isle at the MFA, Boston, which will be up until January 16, 2012.
By the way, if you visit the MFA by June 16th, be sure and stop by and see the photography show, “Conversations: Photography from the Bank of America Collection,” which includes work by such noted photographers as Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, Julia Margaret Cameron, Wright Morris, Alec Soth, William Eggleston, Robert Frank, Mitch Epstein, Larry Sultan, Mike Smith, and Helen Levitt.–Rebecca Norris Webb

Looks like a brilliant exhibit at the MFA, and kudos to you both! Wish that I could see you guys at Aperture. Have a good time, and celebrate!

Congratulations!
I’m going to buy this book but there are two different on Amazon.co.uk. One is Aperture and one is Thames & Hudson. Can you describe any difference between them?

I have both versions, and, except for the publisher’s logo, they are the same. — Alex

Looks like there will be an exhibition at Joseph Bellows Gallery in the San Diego area, probably early 2012. Still under discussion, and will post on the website once it’s confirmed.–Alex
