Hijacked 3 - Australia / UK Submissions (FEES)

2010-08-08T12:52:00.000-07:00

Hello Photographic Artists

Because of the scale and size associated with developing the Hijacked projects, there will be a small submission fee charged for administration costs when we accept submissions for Hijacked 3 - Australia / UK . As we are receiving such a high volume of applications and artworks, it is becoming a time, money and energy consuming exercise.

Therefore submissions will not be considered until the submission fee has been paid.
Information and details about how to apply and to pay for submissions will be published on the Big City Press website soon.

We will endeavor to keep you informed.
kind regards and thanks for your interest in our project.
Mark McPherson - Big City Press

52 Photographers in a Hijacked 2010/11 Year!

2010-08-01T08:01:00.000-07:00

Submissions are now open for Hijacked Volume 3 – Australia / UK.

Here we go again, Hijacked 3 – Australia & UK! The story begins. Research and development begins early, back to back with the release of Hijacked 2 – Australia / German, but the summer season in Europe has been exhausting, out of control and relentless. For the next 12 months, Big City Press will be announcing, presenting and shortlisting 52 Australian and UK photographers for the purpose of Big City Press's 3rd Volume publication - Hijacked 3 - New Australian and the United Kingdom.

From this short list we will be editing down the selection to what will be the final version of the book Hijacked 3 - New Australian and the United Kingdom. A new photographic cultural exchange and a new photographic direction. Our project is supported by Foto8, Quad - Format Festival Derby, Rhubarb-Rhubarb, Contact Editions, British Journal for Photography, Flakphoto, HotShoe International and The Australian Centre for Photography. A special mention to Rhubarb – Rhubarb in Birmingham who have supported Big City Press for the last two years in introducing Big City Press to The Photographic Community in the UK. So without any further procrastination, or general chit-chat may I present the first shortlisted photographer, Hijacked in 2010.

For week 1, August 1 - 7th. 2010.

As of August 1st: Hijacked 3 Oz / UK Submissions Open

2010-07-24T06:37:00.000-07:00

As of August 1st, 2010, the submissions will be officially open for the scheduled publication Hijacked 3 - Australia / United Kingdom. Photographic artists / photographers may submit 12 - 18 images / fotos from a series / body of work as lo resolution jpegs. ie. Screen resolution files are fine. These photographs, may be zipped or compressed and emailed to info@bigcitypress.com.au

Optional: You may wish to include an artist statement / description of the photographic series and a short biography and/or cv. The project Hijacked Volume 3 - Australia / United Kingdom is an open submission process and is open to all people of these countries. The submission of work does not guarantee inclusion in the final publication, nor does shortlisted artists, guarantee inclusion in the final published book.

No explanations or feedback will be forthcoming or deemed necessary from the publisher and editorial staff if an artist or photographer is not chosen for the publication and/or from the Hijacked 3 shortlisted group.

FAQS: Like 'is there a theme/s or special interest to Hijacked 3' ?? The short answer is no. But obviously there are themes and concepts to the works, but the curatorial conceptual parameters are not premeditated, they will be apparent retrospectively and in hindsight, determined through the editorial process, by the editors, and illustrated in the final publication through specific selections, sequences, layout, design and juxtapositions of photographic artwork.

It is preferred the submitted photographs are new, exclusive and previously unpublished, but it is not a determining criteria. We are trying to support a survey of new, emerging, under represented artworks aligned with some established photographers. It is preferable that you are from Australia or the United Kingdom, if you are considering submitting work to this project.

Photographic artists will be shortlisted and published on the Big City Press blog on a weekly basis, as from August 1st, 2010 for one year.

Editors Mark McPherson (Australia) & Louise Clements (United Kingdom) will collaborate to select the final group of photographic artists for the book.

This project is supported by Rhubarb Rhubarb, Birmingham & Quad Format Festival, Derby.

Hijacked 2 AGWA Opening Talk by Robert Cook, July 9, 2010

2010-07-13T08:49:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome all to the Art Gallery of Western Australia for the launch of Hijacked: Volume 2.

I would like to acknowledge that the Gallery is built on Nyoongar land.

The Hijacked project was initiated by Mark McPherson in 2005 as a photocopied ‘zine. It took what was cool about where ‘zine culture ended up going via the American post-punk and skate scenes, by riffing off the way those publications worked against hierarchical culture to create liberating peer-based zones of exchange. So because the ‘zine format functioned for McPherson as a guerrilla platform, to announce the work of peers and to shape a society of creative equals, it expressed the general evolution away from the zine genre’s fan-roots as DIY printed love songs to movie stars and pop icons made by spotty bedroom romantics. This is a way of saying that Hijacked, in its various forms, has always been about framing, not fandom per se. While there is undeniably love in it, it is, therefore, not devotional, and, now, in its current state of hardcover monumentality, it might be seen to stand on the opposing pole to the intricate first person longing of the world’s other great uber zine, Stop Breathing. In my mind, in ‘zine culture in general, that is where Hijacked now stands. There is Stop Breathing – almost obsessively over-thought singly authored analyses of the world of mostly American indie music - and there is Hijacked – sprawling, restless, decentred, local and international, shooting from the hip, yet obsessive in its own delirious way. Both began life in lo-fi formats and expanded to be all they could be, while staying true to their defining visions.

Hijacked’s vigorously loose ambit was facilitated in the title. In an overt way it allowed other artists to take over, to hijack it and take it to their own destination. Thus, early issues were also produced by outstanding Perth creatives such as Thomas Jeppe, Conor O’Brien, Marcus Canning and Hannah Mathews. In a covert way, the idea of hijacking also, I believe, granted a kind of permission to lift practices from the context of their production and give them a new meaning through this violence. It is more forceful than cultural jamming, it is latently heavy, and this weight is supported by the horizontal field, the sense that Hijacked works, figuratively at least, in the manner of Fugazi and, later, The Evens -(where possible) no stage, no difference between audience and creator.

I dwell on this because I think the original ethos pulses through its relaunch as the hardcover book. The first outing, published in 2008 to great success, saw McPherson and co-editor Max Pam bring Australian artists together with American. The tone was post party, hung-over soulful, humans and spaces merging in a graphic liquid bath. It was like two New Worlds, two products of the colonial oceanic slough faced each other and asked, what the hell brought us here? And what the hell are we gonna do with these cars, in these hotel rooms, with these inked skins? Hijacked 1, answered these questions visually in wildly entertaining ways.

This volume sees McPherson joining fellow editors Ute Noll and Markus Schaden to create a dialogue between German and Australian photographers. And in it, the feel is ‘post hurricane’. The cobwebs are gone and the old and the new world stutter and speak with and at other, their gestures, their communications opening out the implicit politics that structure post war Germany and contemporary colonial Australia. As such, issues of freedom, of movement, of desire, of the world as ‘troubled playground’, shape the work. And so there is a celebration of youthful vigour and a tremulousness thanks to the awareness that the adolescent and recently adolescent mindset are in no way separate from the dangerous voyage of history, and the architectural and human structures that we live through. What this book shows is that we are always hemming ourselves in, always challenging those boundaries. It is in this way that the political and the aesthetic are carefully unified in the project. And it’s a coolly complicated thing, obvious and not so, and it’s something the fine essays circle in ways both dense and airy. These essays sit discreetly between the two hemispheres’ art works, functioning as a dividing wall of interpretation that might be seen as being both respected and broken down by the photos themselves. Easts and Wests, Norths and Souths, push together, imagistically, against the words that would contain them in the middle. It’s a smart layout, but then everything is smart about this project.

And as such, I want to pay a small tribute to Mark McPherson. Though he has collaborated, and drawn on many, many people’s energies, Hijacked is basically a testament to his force and his energy. He has a lot personally at stake in this. It is not a career, but a drive that has caused him to make this. He has a brave and a wonderful vision and I am kind of in awe of it. In his essay in this book, Alasdair Foster quotes Henry Miller, saying that ‘chaos is the score upon which reality is written’. I think that sums up so much, not just about this book, but about Mark’s energetic approach to making culture, to being in a way our most important young photo curators and editors in this country. He is reaching out, refusing to be pinned by the local, and is making a new kind of global community of artists.

Beyond the book, is the tour of the exhibition. It is currently on show at the Australian Centre for Photography, where I am told it looks amazing. It is moving around not just eh country but the world, and will make an appearance in Perth at the John Curtin Gallery July-September 2011, something of a significant homecoming for the material, and I am positive it will look incredible in the crisp spaces of the exquisite gallery.

Before that, you have the book. It is available from our shop right now and I need to say that all sales from the book shop go toward assisting the gallery fund a range of activities, exhibitions especially. I would like to congratulate Mark, Ute and Markus on their achievements, all the incredible photographers several of whom are here tonight, and also the brilliant Fabio Ongarato and his team for the impeccable graphic design. Inspiring people all. Thanks for coming and have a great evening.

Pulling together the big picture!

Pulling together the big picture
Text by Linda Morris © (Sydney Morning Herald - June 15, 2010)

A wharfie-turned-photographer is showcasing emerging camera artists, writes Linda Morris.
Three years ago Mark McPherson, a photographer and wharfie on the Fremantle docks, set up an independent one-man publishing house in his lounge room.

He cheekily named the venture Big City Press in allusion to Perth's small-town aspiration of big-city importance and his own lofty ambitions to transform a thesis project and online art photography venture into a biannual volume of provocative new art photography.

The result was Hijacked 1, which brought together the work of 24 emerging Australian art photographers, McPherson included, and 20 American contemporaries.

For the most part, Hijacked 1 departed from classic narrative-based photojournalism and observational street photography to highlight mainly conceptual and constructed landscapes, with mixed degrees of finesse and fluency.

Its cover photo of a boy standing on his head was flipped inside, a metaphor for the aim of McPherson (and fellow curator Max Pam) to turn photography on its head and give artists an alternative platform that wasn't "academically restrained, institutionally influenced or embedded in heavy-handed curatorial work".

"I wanted the work to be able to speak for itself, singularly and as a body of work," McPherson says.

It launched a book series. Now this self-described art photography entrepreneur has brought together a new line-up of Australian and Germany photographic artists for Hijacked 2.

The mission to test boundaries remains but the second book is more mature and, aside from one shocking image of a sexual act, more understated and sublime, McPherson says.

"The first book does try, as its driving intention, to grab you and say, 'look at me', while the second book is more subtle and it has more longevity. This selection of artists and imagery is by no means a definitive guide to Australian and German contemporary photography; it's a snapshot, a momentary survey. It's just the tip of the iceberg."

The choice of Germany reflects McPherson's links with the country. His grandmother and mother were born in Hamburg, and as a photography student he was heavily influenced by the works of artists such as Wolfgang Tillmans and Gerhard Richter.

McPherson collaborated with the German music duo Funkstörung to create a 160-page art book and a DVD with graphics and music videos released with their 2004 album Disconnected.

"I feel that Australian photography sometimes lacks an international perspective," McPherson says. "German photographers tend to look abroad for inspiration, while the Australian photographers in Hijacked 2 looked within their own borders. It's a correlative relationship, I think, that is directly related to geographical circumstance and proximity, and perhaps that we are the descendants of island convicts."

The other great difference to emerge is the importance German photographers place on the study of art, while the Australians, reflecting a tradition of egalitarianism, were more likely to be self-taught.

The third volume of Hijacked, to be released in 2012, is already in the planning stage and will be a collaboration between Australian and British photographers. McPherson will edit and curate Hijacked 3 with Louise Clements, senior curator from Quad, the Format International Photography Festival in Derby.

As the project gains government funding and the support of institutions such as the Australian Centre for Photography, McPherson must balance the pressure of using a more established stable of photographers with his original aim to promote emerging and eclectic works.

"Australia and Britain share the same heritage, elements of our flag are their flag, but the British audience is going to be a whole lot tougher than other countries. And, from a curatorial perspective, if we pick art that makes sense back there, we run the danger of not presenting new and more established works unless identifiable through celebrity or name."

Those conflicts might ease if McPherson could find himself a wealthy benefactor. But for support from Goethe-Institut Australien and a $37,000 grant from the West Australian Department of Culture and the Arts, he has footed most of the $100,000 bill to create, self-publish, exhibit and tour Hijacked 2.

It's why he says he is still on the wharves "driving trucks in circles".

"If I was more savvy I would be making more money. My wife would prefer I spend the money on school fees for our two children."

Hijacked 2 is at the Australian Centre for Photography until July 17.

Hijacked 2 - Book Production News

2010-04-29T20:49:00.000-07:00

Its been a long time since I made a post on this blog. But the real world has been calling. The Hijacked Volume 2 - Australia / Germany book is relatively close to being finished, only 5 weeks away. I just returned from Melbourne, where I completed the final checks on the proof prints, and dyelines, with our Designers, FOD - Fabio Ongarato Design. I was sick most of the trip, but we managed to complete the job over three days. Many thanks to Meg Phillips from Fabio Ongarato Design, who has done a great job on the book. Meg is flying to Hong Kong / China on May 8th for a week to oversee the print press job, at Everbest Printing Co. I have attached the mock up cover which looks rad. Its been a long time coming a project that has taken 2 years, only 5 more weeks til the book is available exclusively at the ACP - Australian Centre for Photography, Hijacked Exhibition and Book Launch June 10 - July 17th, 2010. There will only be 50 copies available at the official launch, and with over 12 Australian Photographic Artists, 2 writers, and two editors in attendance, it will be a good opportunity to see the exhibition in its 120 print entirety, and to have your books signed by a large number of contributors.

I have also recently joined the 21st Century and will start a Facebook presence, tomorrow, as of May 1st. The idea, to keep everyone informed of the progress of the project, and general Big City Press and Hijacked events, which there is alot of planned events, parties, book launches coming up and over the European Summer. My co-editor and friend Ute Noll from Uno Artspace, Stuttgart will also be flying to Sydney, Australia for the first time from June 4th to be part of Creative Sydney, and to be a part of the official Hijacked 2 - Photography book launch. Most of the Australian Photographers will also be present at the launch, it will be fun, exciting, interesting and mindblowing. Hope to see you there.

Final Artist Selection: Hijacked 2 - Australia & Germany

2009-12-31T20:13:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year Everyone. I am delighted to announce the final selection for Hijacked Volume 2 - Australia & Germany. I have spent more than 12 months researching and shortlisting photographic artists from Australia and Germany, with over 300 photographers submitting work for the project, we have arrived at a final list of 32 artists. Obviously it was not possible to include everyone, and we have left out many talented people, we just did not have enough space available in the publication. The book is scheduled for release in June. The Australian Centre for Photography will launch the book and exhibition on Thursday, June 10th, so be welcome to attend if you are in Sydney town. The exhibition at the ACP runs June 11 - July 17.

During the 2009 northern hemisphere summer I was lucky enough to work with German co-editors Ute Noll & Markus Schaden. I met Markus in Arles and he was instantly impressed with the first draft selection shortlist. We later worked during July & August in Köln and Stuttgart, and since I returned to Australia, we have utilised skype communication to continue the process. I met Ute Noll in 2008, when I was presenting Hijacked Volume 1 - Australia & America in Stuttgart and was impressed by her individual and independent approach. character and enthusiam.

Some photographs are attached, of Ute, Markus and I working together in Köln, in a community hall, some fotos from Arles and from Köln. It was great fun, hard work and a fantastic experience to be working with two great, funny and professional people. Many Thanks to Peter Granser for hooking me up with so many wicked and intelligent people in Europe. Thanks to Lucille Lagier from Atelier de visu in Marseille, for providing me with an awesome pad to crash at in Arles during the Festival, and to Mathieu Bernard-Reymond and Captain Rinny Gremaud for being such great travel companions and friends throughout our road trip in Switzerland and France. I hope to see you all again this summer.

I am pleased to announce that we have finally and painstakingly selected artists for Hijacked - Volume 2 - Australia and Germany.

The artists in Hijacked Two are:

Australian: Narelle Autio, James Brickwood, Michael Corridore, Andrew Cowen, Tamara Dean, Jackson Eaton, Suzie Fox, Lee Grant, Derek Henderson, Rebecca Ann Hobbs, Ingvar Kenne, Bronek Kózka, Georgia Metaxas, Conor O’Brien, Polixeni Papapetrou, Louis Porter.

German: Johanna Ahlert, Natalie Bothur, Jörg Brüggemann, Thekla Ehling, Albrecht Fuchs, Jan v. Holleben, Karsten Kronas, Anne Lass, Jens Liebchen, Myriam Lutz, Julian Röder, Josef Schulz, Oliver Sieber, Ivonne Thein, Olaf Unverzart, Sascha Weidner.

Thank you to everyone who gave valuable time and energy and submitted works to this project for considered inclusion. For the Australian Photographic Artists who missed out, please don’t be disappointed, we will commence work on Hijacked 3 soon and you will again be given the opportunity to submit artworks.

Final 2009 Hijacked Photographer - Mark McPherson (Week 52)
