Pathway to Working and Investing in America For Foreign Students and International Investors
L-1 and E-2 visas may hold the key for graduate students facing deportation.
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 31, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — On 5/11/18 the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) unveiled a new policy to make foreign students deportable on the first day after graduation, minimizing their chances of overstaying the student visa in America. The deported students may not be able to reenter the US for a period of 3-10 years. The law goes into effect on August 9, 2018.
Traditional alternatives for foreign-born college students to remain in the US include: H-1B visas, which are being scaled back and EB-5 visas, which have their own challenges.
In 2018, the Wolfe Law Group, in collaboration with industry experts, came up with a better alternative for graduating foreign students, especially creative types in the arts, utilizing the L-1 and E-2 visa.
The L-1 and E-2 visa could be procured by foreign investors who invest in US Intellectual Property (i.e. copyright for films, music recordings, and video productions). International investors or foreign students can effectively own a US production company for both film and music and in exchange they get their L-1 or E-2 visa.
For filmmakers and/or foreign investors it can be as simple as investing in a script. It could be an existing script or one a student or investor has already created. Please see Forbes columnist, Andy Semotiuk, recent articles: Film Makers Look to Foreign Investors to Fund Independent Films and Independent Films Tickets to America for Foreign Investors.
For creatives in music there is an opportunity to work with legendary composer Lamont Dozier. With copyright ownership for music publishing, an additional source of income for films could be an original soundtrack. Please see The Wolfe Law Group 5/22/18 newsletter, How International Students Can Fund Education in America.
E-2 visas are quicker than L-1, but require country of origin to be part of the E-2 Treaty. Major countries like China and Israel are not, so for them L-1 visas would need to be explored.
Processing time is about 3-4 months and usually the applicant can get a three-year (renewable) visa to start. Cost will vary according to project and visa.
For college graduates faced with a less than 90-day deportation risk the E-2 or L-1 visas will allow them to remain in America and pursue entertainment careers.
Based on the multiple US immigration complexities it is highly recommended to consult with an immigration attorney who is an expert prior to August 9th, 2018.
Please pass this on to those who you think may benefit. The time to act is now.

Bigfoot Project Investments Proudly Presents: "Brutal Bigfoot – Mutilations and Mutations"
First of Five
Bigfoot Project Investments Inc.
Brutal Bigfoot – The First of Five Films Is Ready for Release – The Official Release Date Will Be Announced Soon
Bigfoot Project Investments Inc. (OTCMKTS:BGFT)
REDWOOD CITY, CA, US, May 30, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Bigfoot Project Investments Inc. a public company traded on the OTC Markets under the ticker symbol BGFT has produced the first of the five feature length films in the Brutal Bigfoot series. For those who have wondered if the creature known as Bigfoot had a darker side the Searching for Bigfoot Team has compiled their list of most compelling stories and will present the investigations of these violent encounters in the Brutal Bigfoot series.
In the first feature length film the Searching for Bigfoot field team – led by "The Godfather of Bigfoot" Tom Biscardi, get more than they bargained for when investigating the disappearance of a hiker and the mutilation of a couple deep in the remote Arkansas countryside in Brutal Bigfoot: Mutilations and Mutations. The film is the first release under the "Biscardi Bigfoot Brand" banner, a new label of True/Found, a releasing company dedicated to found footage and "caught-on-camera" feature films and documentaries.
Brutal Bigfoot: Mutilations and Mutations follows Biscardi and his team as they venture to the grounds of SEFOR – an actual top secret nuclear testing facility that has been closed, due in part to rumors that mutated creatures reportedly inhabit the woods surrounding the compound, creatures that were created by science-gone-wrong at SEFOR. Along the way they gain the unwanted attention of unknown government agents who watch their every move as they search for the truth behind brutal deaths and strange disappearances that are reported to involve a very large creature.
Brutal Bigfoot: Mutilations and Mutations is the first in a new line of films from Biscardi, movies that will explore true-life dark and violent encounters with cryptids and mysterious beasts across the United States from Maine to Washington and all parts in between.
"This is a new direction in our entertainment enterprise, a path that will allow for the creation of more new films to add to our best-selling catalog of eight other classic Bigfoot movies," says Tom Biscardi, president and CEO of Bigfoot Project Investments, Inc. Filming has nearly been completed on the second film in the series, with a total of five movies planned for production and release. "The Brutal Bigfoot films show a different side to the world of mysterious monsters…a side that the public asks us about – and numerous reports confirm happens – all the time. This is an in-demand topic and Biscardi Brand Bigfoot will be the first to expose these stories in a series. We know audiences will enjoy watching every minute."
Brutal Bigfoot: Mutilations and Mutations will be initially available on VOD through dozens of platforms, as well as on DVD. An official street date will be announced soon – be on the watch for the film through these VOD outlets: 24 Hour Movie Channel, All Warrior Network, Amazon Video Direct, Asian Mayhem, Awesome Earth, BesTV, Blackbelt TV, Cheezy Flix, China Mobile Video, Cinecliq, Conscious Good, ConTV, Dekkoo, DocCom, Docurama, DotStudio, DoveTV, FandangoNOW (formerly M-GO), Fandor, FilmBOX, FilmOn TV, FlixPremiere, Free Flix Tonight, Free Grindhouse Flix Tonight, Frequency, GONE TV, Great Outdoors Network, Hoopla Digital, Hulu, iFlix, IndieReign, iTunes, Kanopy, KinoFlimmern, Live From London, Motorland, Overdrive Digital, Pantaflix, PlutoTV, Popcornflix, PPTV, Realeyz, Retromedia, Sinclair Media Group Broadcasting, Streampix, TubiTV, TVPlayer, VHX, Viewster, Vimeo on Demand, and Wu-Tang Collection.

Eurovision Semi-Finalists And Pop Songwriting Duo Fitzsimon And Brogan Sign With MTS
Fitzsimon and Brogan will release "Big Blue World" in June
London-based songwriting team and pop duo, Fitzsimon and Brogan have signed with MTS Management Group for publicity and promotions.
We are not a band, but more of a songwriting production team that release our own material. We're not really interested in projecting images of ourselves..we would prefer quirky images and logos."
— Neil Fitzsimon
LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, May 29, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Based in London, Neil Fitzsimon and Bee Brogan aim to produce "pure pop for now people." Preferring to remain faceless in an industry that holds image in high regard, the duo is bucking trends with their upcoming June album release and subsequent videos for, "Big Blue World." They model their image, or lack of one, along the lines of Fat Boy Slim, Talk Talk, and Tin Tin Out.
Neil and Bee were both members of the band, Pretty Blue Gun, who were signed to an indie label, licensed to Sony. The albums were produced by Pat Collier, who produced Katrina and the Waves' international hit, 'Walking on Sunshine'. The band went on national tours across the UK, until disbanding.
Now, Fitzsimon and Brogan have signed with MTS Management Group for publicity and promotions of their music, including two upcoming 2018 album releases.
"We are not a band, as such, (we are) more of a songwriting production team that release our own material," said Neil Fitzsimon. "We're not really interested in projecting images of ourselves, but rather than that, would prefer quirky images and logos. The name, Fitzsimon and Brogan, we chose because it's our name, but also because the initials spell FaB, which we hoped would be a lucky omen.. We base ourselves on outfits like Talk Talk, Tin Tin Out, who had a number of hits and to this day, I could not tell you what they looked like. One track in particular that we liked was 'eleven to fly' – Tin Tin Out never appeared in any of their videos or promotions. The same goes for Fat Boy Slim – great music, but not many people would even recognize him… again, he uses actors for his videos."
Fitzsimon and Brogan's new album, "Big Blue World" is due for release in June, with another scheduled for fall 2018 release.
ABOUT FITZSIMON AND BROGAN: Neil Fitzsimon, the songwriter, and Bee Brogan, the vocalist, then went on to form a songwriting/production partnership that led to placement of their songs in Film and TV. They also wrote a musical, Jack Dagger, which was showcased at the Greenwich Theatre, London for the Musical Futures Award. It was also showcased at the Bridewell and the Royal College of Music in London. They have also just had a song placed in a USA Sci–Fi Feature film. The duo recently had a track reach number 3 on a French national download chart. Their track, "This Is Love" earned the duo Semi-Finalist status in the Eurovision Contest.

HAT COUTURE LAUNCHES NEW UPCYCLED MILLINERY CONCEPT
'A Passion for Peonies' by Hat Couture
Hat Couture 'reimagines' thrift store discoveries as designer millinery for fashion mavens, weddings and special occasions to acclaim from top designers.
"Hat Couture is a new concept in high fashion millinery, I upcycle designer hats and create original objects d'art for discerning clients and fashion mavens"."
— Denise Marsh
BICESTER, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, May 24, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Bicester, United Kingdom – 22nd May 2018 Hat Couture announced the launch of its first collection designed by Milliner Denise Marsh. The Hollywood Legends collection is available for immediate shipping to International and local clients, who can enjoy the feel-good factor that comes with wearing an exclusive upcycled, one off creation.
"Hat Couture is a new concept in high fashion millinery, I upcycle designer hats and create original objects d'art for discerning clients and fashion mavens," said Denise Marsh, Milliner at Hat Couture, "Each rescue project is carefully taken apart by hand and remade using only the finest silk, sinamay, vintage lace, plumes, real pearls, flowers and luxury trimmings".
Positive Green Impact
Most hats donated to charity shops end up in landfill adding to the millions of tons of discarded textiles that currently plague our planet. Hat Couture scours local thrift stores to rescue designer millinery and fabric in good condition, making a sizeable donation to charity and providing items too good for landfill with a new lease of life. After removing all trimmings and cleaning, the hat base is reshaped and put into stock to await the creation of a new design to match that special outfit or become a statement piece for an international fashionista. Most of the fabrics and trimmings used are also upcycled from vintage fabric collections found via the internet or the designer's own inherited treasure trove of laces, silks, buttons, flowers and beads. When dispatched to a new home, each design is carefully wrapped in tissue paper (recycled) before being placed into a signature black and white candy stripe box (made from recycled paper), tied with a sumptuous satin bow (recycled from heritage stock) to be whisked away to destinations in the UK, Far East, Middle East and the USA.
Creating Lasting Memories
Hat Couture has already found new homes for a number of these exquisite works of art.
Karen from Kent recently purchased 'Vintage Rose Garden' and was delighted when her one of a kind creation arrived, "Hat received – absolutely love it – gorgeous! Many thanks".
"Sorry for delay getting back to you, parcel delivered just as I was leaving to look after my mum -have just opened and it is stunning, beautifully made and fits so easily. I am very happy with it, thank you." said Cheryl from Wales who purchased 'Rambling Rosie' for her daughter's wedding, "My wedding outfit is by Out of Exile and so compliments perfectly."
Already Gaining a Great Reputation
With more than 2,000 followers on social media already including designer brands like Philip Treacy, Tracy Chaplin and Vogue Bridal plus international support from ethical groups like Upcycled Cloth Collective enthusiasm for this new upcycled millinery concept continues to grow.
Founded in 2018, Hat Couture is a small business with big ideas. Alongside its collection of upcycled and designer Millinery the company is set to launch a range of crystal jewelry and vintage silk scarves. In response to requests from fans, Milliner Denise Marsh is also looking at ways to offer training courses in hat making and silk flower techniques for those interested in honing their skills and joining the growing band of enthusiasts for textile upcycling.
THE FIGURES
•	In 2016 1,130,000 tons of new clothing was purchased in the UK – an increase of 200,000 tons since 2012.
•	Fashion in the UK lasts an average of 3.3 years before a garment is discarded.
•	Extending the life of a garment by an extra nine months reduces its environmental impact by 20-30%.
•	Providing one ton of clothing for direct re-use by giving it to a charity shop or selling it online can result
in a net greenhouse gas saving of 11 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Frontières Takes You on an Intense Road Trip with Four Women Who Begin the Journey as Strangers but Become Friends to Survive Corruption and Sexual Harassment
I decided to make this film not only to mount the African woman's fight but above all to say that things can change on a smaller scale."
— Burkinabé Director Apolline Traore
PARIS, SAINT-MICHEL, FRANCE, May 23, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Access to capital, networks, and equality is a global issue for women. According to a report published by the World Bank, it is a known fact that in Africa, women carry goods across borders, produce products, especially food, that can be exported, and own and manage trade-oriented firms. Unfortunately, the women known as traders often face specific constraints that undermine their economic activities. Women traders working in the informal sector are often subject to harassment and extortion at the border.
Burkinabé Director Apolline Traore's award-winning feature film, "Frontières" ("Borders") explores the obstacles to the free movement of goods across borders. "Frontières" ("Borders") starring Amelie Mbaye (Adjara), Naky Sy Savane (Emma), Adizétou Sidi (Sali), Unwana Udobang (Micha) premieres on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at 8:15 p.m. at the Cinema Espace Saint-Michel at 7 place Saint-Michel in Paris, France 75005. This is a media-friendly event. For press credentials or interviews with Traore, contact Camille Jouhair, founder of Hévadis Films, at 06 51 15 95 93 or hevadis@free.fr.
Traore brings attention to the problematic borders and the commitment of these women, who in their day-to-day struggle for their family, face dangers on cross-border roads causing enormous suffering in their quest to find financial stability. The four women, Adjara, Emma, Sali and Micha, meet on a bus while travelling through 5 countries in 7 days, wherein they endure injustices from sexual assault, harassment, and extortion from men and governments who control the borders that they must cross to make a living trading goods. They risk their lives, but will not stop for the survival of their family.
"I decided to make this film not only to mount the African woman's fight but above all to say that things can change on a smaller scale. The corruption for example is an evil that our states are trying to fight for a very
long time with very few results," said Traore. "I strongly believe that this fight must be fought firstly at an individual level. Every citizen must be aware and chose to fight. Otherwise, our states are unlikely to succeed."
These women throughout their journey demonstrate solidarity and remarkable union, watching over each other, which is a complement to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) one of the most important and influential bodies of West Africa.
ECOWAS' vision is to foster interstate economic and political cooperation. History is on its side in this regard. Dating back to pre-colonial times, West Africans have been among the world's most mobile populations although much of the migration had been intra-regional. About 7.5 million West African migrants (3 percent of the regional population) are living in ECOWAS countries other than their own. The 1.2 million other migrants are dispersed mainly in North America and Europe. Estimated at about 149 million in 2013, women constitute over 50 percent of the region's population. The cross-border migration of women as traders and business persons places them as potential champions for promoting integration. This reality needs to be fully exploited.
Traore continues to tell stories that bring attention to African culture and history. Her next project scheduled to begin production in Summer 2018 is a Haitian feature film, "Desrances," starring Award-Winning Haitian-American TV and Film Actor Jimmy Jean-Louis. "My inspiration about "Desrances" came from the place of girls in our society. Until today we find in our community, parents who prefer putting their boy in school because a girl will leave the family: with a husband," said Traore. "It's important for me to show that a girl can be a heir as well as a boy. The story honors Haiti by showing the strength of a Haitian man, despise his multiple troubles. It's a positive and honorable reflection of Haiti. A poor and very problematical country that stays strong no matter the circumstances."

VP Legacies Shows There is More to Video Production Than Just Cost
Denver-based video production company VP Legacies shows that there is more to choosing a video production company than just cost.
DENVER, CO, USA, May 21, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — Denver, Colo. (May 21, 2018) — VP Legacies, a Denver-based video production company that specializes in personal connection, exhibits that there is more consider when choosing a video production company than just cost.
The video production industry hosts a wide range of video professionals, ranging from college students to freelance artists to video production studios. While it's easy to base a decision on price, a proposal for a one-minute video can range from $100 to over $100,000 depending on the scope of work.
Oftentimes, when a business chooses a video production company, they choose a less expensive company to cut costs, but it ends up costing a business more in the long run. A business must understand what it takes to create an impactful video with ROI potential. Cost isn't everything when choosing a video production company; there are other factors to take into consideration. Instead of evaluating a decision solely based on cost, evaluate based on the value the business is getting in return.
Businesses must take non-monetary factors into consideration such as transparent communication, timeliness of delivery, going above and beyond for clients, quality of video, and customer relationship into account when choosing a video production company.
When working with VP Legacies, businesses pay for these factors and how they treat each individual project. Businesses get a company that takes the time to really get to know its clients and goes above and beyond to create videos of the highest quality for its clients.
VP Legacies focuses on creating a world where people aren't afraid to personally connect, specializing in storytelling video production in Denver with their repertoire of consulting, capturing and editing services to achieve all of a company's creative and business goals – employee and customer engagement, education or testimonials.

A view to sustainability - Jet Aviation' new Van Nuys FBO and hangar facility

Country: United States Aircraft: Airplanes
As the latest step in the company's commitment to expand its footprint in the United States Jet Aviation's new Van Nuys FBO and hangar facility on track for opening. It is expected to be operational already in Q4 2019!
10,000 sq. ft. FBO terminal and 43,000 sq. ft. hangar was built with a view to sustainability. The Van Nuys facility is the first Jet Aviation site to offer sustainable fuel via a blended fuel option, a program that will evolve as additional supply becomes available. Additionally, the site was built to LEED silver specifications; certification will follow after construction completion. Construction included using regional materials, installing energy efficient lighting and low-flow plumbing fixtures, and a commitment to divert the majority of construction waste from landfills.
The hangar can accommodate all the newer generation, large-body aircraft currently entering the market. The much-anticipated FBO and hangar project includes a brand-new 10,000 sq. ft. FBO terminal; a 43,000 sq. ft. hangar with 8,000 sq. ft. of office space; long, unobstructed ramp space; and a 42,000 sq. ft. Gulfstream operations center with more than 20,000 sq. ft. of office and shop space. The hangar has a 30 ft. clearance, which can accommodate larger aircraft of any size, including the Gulfstream G500/G600/G650 series and the Global 7500.
"We are excited to open our new facility here at Van Nuys," said Michael McDaniel, Director & GM, Van Nuys FBO. "As part of the country's second-busiest general aviation airport, we are proud to offer our customers a one-stop shop for all their aircraft service needs, including aircraft management, refueling, domestic and international handling, charter, cleaning, and maintenance on demand. Additionally, we have massive ramp space that allows our customers to avoid congestion issues and the need for towing, especially larger aircraft. Aircraft will be able to taxi unobstructed on arrival and departure."
David Best, VP Regional Operations USA, added, "The facility expansions throughout our FBO network demonstrate our commitment to delivering industry-leading services where our customers need and want them. We are moving strategically and purposefully while focusing on exceeding customer expectations across our full range of business-aviation services while using cost- and energy-efficient construction practices."
Construction and renovation is under way or pending in the U.S. and Caribbean at six of Jet Aviation's 13 regional locations. This includes a new state-of-the-art hangar renovated FBO in Teterboro, New Jersey, that opened October 2019. Hangar expansions in San Juan, Puerto Rico and West Palm Beach, Florida are ongoing and significant renovations will soon be underway at the Dallas, Texas FBO. Finally, Jet Aviation is preparing to begin construction on its newest FBO in Scottsdale, Arizona, where Jet Aviation recently announced it has acquired a stake in the Scottsdale Jet Center.

Home Austria's Conservatives, Greens set to form Govt.
Austria's Conservatives, Greens set to form Govt.
Austria's conservatives led by Sebastian Kurz on Wednesday are expected to hold final discussions with the Greens before announcing a deal to form a coalition government.
It will mark the first time the Green party has been in power, after Kurz's alliance with the far-right collapsed in a corruption scandal and triggered elections in September.
Kurz's People's Party (OeVP) and the Greens made gains in election, bringing them together in unlikely negotiations given Kurz's carefully groomed image as a hardliner on immigration.
Both leaders said Sunday major hurdles dividing their parties had already been cleared.
An accord is widely expected to be announced after a last round of talks, which starts at 1700 local time (1600GMT).
Despite progress, observers said new government will face challenges after Kurz's previous rule with the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) saw a raft of anti-immigration measures passed, sharply dividing Austrians.
"2020 as a political year of change" ran the main online headline of the Kurier daily Wednesday.
Both the OeVP and the Greens will be hard-pressed to show they have not compromised too much on their key principals and campaign promises when they present the joint government programme.
"From his (Kurz's) perspective, it's a huge stretch and it's also a danger that over time he might lose some of the voters he gained from the Freedom Party," analyst Thomas Hofer told AFP.
The Greens will get four ministries, including an enlarged environment ministry that also comprises infrastructure, traffic, energy and technology, a party representative familiar with the negotiations told AFP on Monday.
The OeVP will maintain control of the rest, including the coveted interior ministry -- previously headed by a far-right official and embroiled in scandal -- and the finance portfolio. Greens chief Kogler, 58, is set to be vice-chancellor.
Greens official Ewa Ernst-Dziedzic told the Standard daily in an interview published Tuesday that compromises were "part of democracy", and that coalition partners would address challenges rather than "feign harmony and sweep difficult topics under the carpet".
Hofer said other European countries, such as Germany, could also see Conservative-Green party coalitions in the future. Sweden, Finland, Lithuania and Luxemburg already have Greens in government. - AFP


PULP have turned down a big money offer from COCA-COLA to use new single 'SUNRISE' in a TV advertising campaign celebrating the start of the football season, NME.COM can reveal.
But Coca-Cola used a specially commissioned piece of guitar music, which the band claim sounds spookily similar to the track. Frontman Jarvis Cocker has even complained that the music on the advert sounds like a "bad soft rock version of 'Sunrise'". NME.COM understands the advert would have earned Pulp around £100,000.
Jarvis Cocker has since seen the broadcast advert, titled '3pm', which prompted him to compare the music to soft rock band Boston.

UNFICYP welcomes new Senior Police Advisor
NICOSIA, 7 Novemer 2017 - On 1 November 2017, Assistant Chief of Police Ann-Kristin Kvilekval of Norway began her duties as UNFICYP's new Senior Police Advisor. She brings with her 26 years of policing experience and more than three years of UN peacekeeping mission experience with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).
Prior to joining UNFICYP, Assistant Chief of Police Kvilekval served as the National Police Directorate Liaison to the Norwegian Joint Head Quarter (NJHQ) for the Armed Forces, with focus on the Emergency Response and Special Advisor to the General at the JFHQ.
Over the course of her police career, she has occupied various posts including at managerial level, such as International Civil Crisis management team leader of the Norwegian Police University College, Police Liaison Advisor at National Police Directorate and Course Director at the Norwegian Police. Assistant Chief of Police Kvilekval graduated from the Norwegian Defence Command and Staff College, Oslo, and is also working on a Master's Degree in building a democratic society at the University of Bergen.
The appointment of another woman at senior level within the Mission – UNFICYP currently has a female Head of Mission, Ms. Elizabeth Spehar, and, between 2014 and 2016, had the first ever female Force Commander of a UN peacekeeping operation, Major General Kristin Lund – is a reflection of the UN's commitment to identifying and recruiting highly qualified female experts for leadership positions in peacekeeping missions.
UNFICYP is grateful to our outgoing Senior Police Advisor, Col. Andrii Sachavo of the Ukraine, for his many years of diligent service, and warmly welcomes Assistant Chief of Police Kvilekval to Cyprus!

Ogle some jaw-droppingly gorgeous work from Berlin's "Golden Years"
Whether you get all judgy about book covers or not, recently we've been wondering if book covers alone are enough to tell us something deeper about a culture. Then we discovered (and instantly began drooling over) some 1,000 vintage dust jackets and bindings in The Book Cover in the Weimar Republic (Taschen), a visually stunning catalogue of Berlin's nascent book art culture between the world wars.
From illustrated works to typographic designs, and Art Deco to proto-modernist styles, the book is a library of eye-catching covers from some 250 Berlin-based publishers. Together, they show how book cover design from 1919–1933 in Berlin was influenced by the important movements of the period—Expressionism, Realism, New Objectivity, Constructivism, and photography—and retell how this young German republic was what the book's editor Jürgen Holstein calls "a testing ground for modernity" until the second world war cruelly ended it all.
The 452-page tome reads like a visit to an antiquarian bookstore, specifically that of Holstein who has been in this business for almost five decades. But there's none of the mustiness and stuffiness one might expect. The book lets the covers take prominence, while keeping each lightly anchored by meticulously researched captions in English and German that detail the books' physical dimensions and creators, as well as tidbits on their origins.
Beyond just a feast for the eyes, the book gives some semblance to this collection of covers amassed by Holstein over a decade by loosely organizing them around themes such as sports, the Soviet Union, flight, children's books, amongst many others. There are also sections of books by specific publishers, authors, designers, as well as types of design production methods. But given the sheer number of covers, the book largely remains a visual reference rather than a serious reading of what these covers tell us of the Weimar Republic.
Three essays attempt to provide context on this ephemeral medium, which, despite its vivid exterior, was treated as mere advertisements and was often, sadly, thrown out after purchase. In his introduction, Holstein recounts the prosperous and stable Germany in which these covers were produced and examines the rise and fall of book arts in the country. Diving deeper are separate essays, including graphic designer Peter Nils Dorén's examination on the typography of these book covers, and antiquarian Frank Hermann's historical retelling of avant-garde publishing house Die Schmiede. This publisher was founded by Julius Berthed Salter, the brother of legendary George Salter, a designer who cut his teeth working on books covers for Die Schmiede and their Berlin competitors before emigrating in 1934 to the United States, where he later revolutionized American book cover design.
Salter was just one of several Berlin-based book cover designers featured in the publication who emigrated to the United States during the second world war, including the likes of Lucian Bernhard and Herbert Bayer. The book is a glimpse into what came before the post-war boom in graphic design, as the Weimar Republic was also home to now iconic designers such as El Lissitzky and John Heartfield.
The Book Cover in the Weimar Republic is based upon an earlier edition Holstein self-published a decade ago, and that has since become a rare collectible, selling online for upwards of £400. BLICKFANG: Bucheinbände und Schutzumschläge Berliner Verlage 1919-1933 (Eye Catcher: Bindings and Dust Jackets of Berlin Publishing Houses) was a labor of love that took Holstein three years to produce, and was limited to just 400 copies retailing for €198 each. Then, Holstein told Eye magazine he wouldn't reproduce this book once it went out of print. Fortunately for us, he changed his mind.


New Belgium Brewing Co. Fort Collins, CO.
This is a Blonde/Golden ale style beer. Grains arrived fresh and crushed expertly. A fairly easy brew for even a beginner. Not quite as hoppy as I thought it might be given the dry hopping, but I am not disappointed! Very crisp, clean with a nice citrus character. Excellent balance between hop and malt. Universally liked by my home-brew club and my wife. If you like an easy drinking, flavorful, crisp and clean beer I highly suggest putting 5 gallons of this in your fermenter. AHS kits always turn out well...unlike some other companies I have used...just saying.

He began taking self-portraits at the age of sixteen in the woods behind his Georgian home, and this stirred in him the need to create and express himself through the craft of photography. His work focuses on the human form and the process of infusing it with natural surroundings. He also strives to create whimsical and surreal portraits. Alex is currently based in Los Angeles, California.

When the memory turns to dust (2018-2020) When the memory turns to dust, for me as an artist it is a reflective process in which I combine empirical, psychological and critical things. I conceive the random gesture between the selection of a certain photographic document and the preconception in invoice of different stories, as a rescue practice where the apparently disposable, old or residual bear the weight of a memory that is presented to me as a pretext to recontextualize and resemantize the frozen story on photographic paper. I appropriate myself of a found testimony that covers the twenties and eighties of the last century; I archive it, classify it and transmute it into a new metaphor. I conscientiously manipulate, meticulously elaborate other realities, juxtaposed, assembled, mutilated, where I do not intend to disguise the traces of time on paper, nor the seams resulting from these photo collages. I consider myself as a restless prowler, a visual archaeologist who operates technically and discursively on elasticity of a record of reality; an original story that I reactivate through the conception of an aesthetic ontology that encompasses the ideological, the social, the political, the religious, the familiar… This Series is a kind of built and resurrected testament in which meanings and mixtures of a culture such as the Cuban one, of mixed race and singular are distilled, which delights even today in nostalgia and sustenance of an astonishing and worn out ideal. I assemble landscapes, portraits, customs scenes or abstracts motifs to reformulate that individual/social memory; to enrich that heritage many times found within a Cuban family; and to offer a possible interstice that reminds us of who we are and how we see ourselves from the contemporary artistic debate.
Beverly Conley

Her quest has allowed her to enter the private world of Gypsies in England, the Cherokee Nation in Northeastern Oklahoma, steelworkers in Weirton, West Virginia and the Cape Verdean Communities in Boston and the Cape Verde Islands. Solo exhibitions include the Fort Smith Regional Art Museum in Arkansas, the Black Arts Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Museum of Native American History and Culture in Bentonville, Arkansas, the Boston Public Library and the George Meany Center for Labor. Her work has been featured in juried exhibitions and group shows such as the Festival of American Folklife at the Smithsonian Institution and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

She is a member of the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP). Life in the Ozarks: An Arkansas Portrait My ongoing project began in 2003 with a drive down a rural country road. I had recently moved to Fayetteville and was anxious to explore my new surroundings. The resulting images tell the stories of people, events and everyday life in and around small towns in the rugged Ozark Mountains. They represent different aspects of these communities – young and old, recent immigrants, preachers, cowboys, farmers and those whose families have lived in the Ozarks for generations. I am interested in documenting the vestiges of an older Ozarks. There is a sense of timelessness that I want to convey in my work. I am drawn to the less travelled back roads where catfish are caught bare-handed, folks gather on porches to play bluegrass and subsistence farming is still in existence. Living and photographing in the same place gave me the opportunity to observe the changes of a region in transition. Northwest Arkansas experienced tremendous growth in the last decade with rural communities inching closer and closer to cities. I really imagined this unique Arkansas heritage would be lost. What I have since discovered is the resilience and self- sufficiency of a complex culture that stands with one foot in the present and the other in the past. An individual might have a day job at a Walmart but returns to a hand built home and the traditions of the 'holler' at night. Through these photographs and words it is my intention to preserve and share the richness of this Southern way of life with a broader audience.

Since opening his studio in New York City in 1983, photographer Stephen Wilkes has built an unprecedented body of work and a reputation as one of America's most iconic photographers, widely recognized for his fine art, editorial and commercial work. His photographs are included in the collections of the George Eastman Museum, James A. Michener Art Museum, Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Dow Jones Collection, Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation, Jewish Museum of NY, Library of Congress, Snite Museum of Art, The Historic New Orleans Collection, Museum of the City of New York, 9/11 Memorial Museum and numerous private collections. His editorial work has appeared in, and on the covers of leading publications such as the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Time, Fortune, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated , and many others. Wilkes' early career interpretations of Mainland China, California's Highway One, and impressionistic "Burned Objects" set the tone for a series of career-defining projects that catapulted him to the top of the photographic landscape. In 1998, a one-day assignment to the south side of Ellis Island led to a 5-year photographic study of the island's long abandoned medical wards where immigrants were detained before they could enter America. Through his photographs and video, Wilkes helped secure $6 million toward the restoration of the south side of the island. A monograph based on the work, Ellis Island: Ghosts of Freedom, was published in 2006 and was named one of TIME magazine's 5 Best Photography Books of the Year. The work was also featured on NPR and CBS Sunday Morning. In 2000, Epson America commissioned Wilkes to create a millennial portrait of the United States, "America In Detail," a 52-day odyssey that was exhibited in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Day to Night , Wilkes' most defining project, began in 2009. These epic cityscapes and landscapes, portrayed from a fixed camera angle for up to 30 hours capture fleeting moments of humanity as light passes in front of his lens over the course of a full day. Blending these images into a single photograph takes months to complete. Day to Night has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning as well as dozens of other prominent media outlets and, with a grant from the National Geographic Society , was extended to include America's National Parks in celebration of their centennial anniversary and Bird Migration for the 2018 Year of the Bird. Most recently a new grant was extended for Canadian Iconic Species and Habitats at Risk in collaboration with The Royal Canadian Geographic Society. Day to Night : In the Field with Stephen Wilkes was exhibited at The National Geographic Museum in 2018. Day to Night was published by TASCHEN as a monograph in 2019. Wilkes' work documenting the ravages of Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy has brought heightened awareness to the realities of global climate change. He was commissioned by the Annenberg Space for Photography to revisit New Orleans in 2013 after documenting Hurricane Katrina for the World Monuments Fund. And, his images were exhibited with his photographs on Hurricane Sandy in the 2014 Sink or Swim, Designing for a Sea of Change exhibition. Wilkes directorial debut, the documentary film, Jay Myself , world premiered at DOCNYC in November 2018. The film is an in depth look into the world of photographer Jay Maisel and his move out of his 35,000 sq. foot building at 190 Bowery. Oscilloscope Laboratories has acquired the North American rights and the film opened at Film Forum in New York in July, 2019 Wilkes was a speaker at the TED2016: Dream Conference on his Day to Night series. The talk has over 1.6 million views. In 2017 Wilkes was commissioned by the US Embassy, Ottawa to create a Day to Night photograph of Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation. Despite his intense dedication to personal projects, Wilkes continues to shoot advertising campaigns for the world's leading agencies and corporations, including: Netflix, OppenheimerFunds, SAP, IBM, Capital One, The New Yorker, Johnson & Johnson, DHL, American Express, Nike, Sony, Verizon, IBM, AT&T, Rolex, Honda. He has a robust following on Instagram of more than 500,000. Wilkes' extensive awards and honors include the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography, Photographer of the Year from Adweek Magazine, Fine Art Photographer of the Year 2004 Lucie Award, TIME Magazine Top 10 Photographs of 2012, Sony World Photography Professional Award 2012, Adobe Breakthrough Photography Award 2012 and Prix Pictet, Consumption 2014. His board affiliations include the Advisory Board of the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications; Save Ellis Island Board of Directors, on which he served for 5 years; and the Goldring Arts Journalism Board. Wilkes was born in 1957 in New York. He received his BS in photography from Syracuse University S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a minor in business management from the Whitman School of Management in 1980. Wilkes, who lives and maintains his studio in Westport, CT, is represented by Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, New York; Fahey Klein Gallery, Los Angeles; Monroe Gallery of Photography, Santa Fe and Holden Luntz Gallery, Palm Beach..
Claudio Rasano
Claudio Rasano lives and works in Basel, Switzerland. His work explores the relationship between spaces and humans, the subject within the space and the space as the subject itself. Rasano has a genuine and identifiable style that crosses documentary and fine art practices. He works with people from similar backgrounds, circumstances and experiences - environmental portraits and landscapes depicting a quiet anthropological commentary. There is a strong relationship between the environmental portraits and the landscape images. He is the recipient of Photovogue Portraits 2017, Taylor Wessing Photographic Prize 2016, Lensculture portrait award Finalists, Syngenta Photography Award Unseen and Life 2017 Framer World Travellers. 2019 Meitar Award for Excellence in Photography at PHOTO IS:RAEL Statement My work may cross countries and continents, but there is one thing that features centrally throughout, people. People are the focal point of his work, whether it's schoolchildren in South Africa or cigarette sellers in Tirana, the story of the country that Claudio is working in is told through its people. "I love to explore the relationship between spaces and humans, the subject within the space and the space as the subject itself, I work with people from similar backgrounds, circumstances and experiences -environmental portraits and landscapes depicting a quiet anthropological commentary. It is important for me to see that there is a strong relationship between environmental portraits and landscape images." His work is focused around the human stories of an area, but in many cases it is not just the person that is of interest. The composition of many of his images, even when portraits, provides a snapshot of the landscapes and built environments that are around the subject. This contextualises many of his photographs, helping you to build a more rounded impression of the individuals based on their surroundings too - the perfect example of this being his image of South African workmen in sodden clothes.
Robert Bergman
Over more than 50 years, largely outside the mainstream, Robert Bergman has pursued a vision of advancing psychological and philosophical depth in photography and of transcending the boundaries between painting and photography. In Toni Morrison's words in her introduction to his classic 1998 book A Kind of Rapture, his color portraits are "... a master template of the singularity, the community, and the unextinguishable sacredness of the human race." In his Epilogue to that book, the pre-eminent art historian, Professor Meyer Schapiro, wrote, "... his recent color portraits ... have no forerunners in photography. ... he has introduced the processes of unification, as in painting, with the search for harmony, movement, variety and distinction within it, beyond what I have ever seen in a photograph.... His finest works bring to mind some of the greatest painted portraits. ... truly profound works of art." Placing Bergman in the context of other, better known master American photographers, John Yau, poet, critic, and author of The United States of Jasper Johns, has said, "Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, and William Eggleston. ...he is certainly in their league. ... One day Bergman will get credit for the richness of his photographs, the way they transcend image." Robert Bergman is currently producing a limited edition KEY SET of new master prints of 150-200 photographs that, together with the 51 A Kind of Rapture prints, will reveal the organic unity, the arc, of his creative journey: black & white street work of people and cityscapes; black & white portraits in nursing homes; black & white abstracts; hundreds of color portraits on the streets of American cities; and most recently, large-scale color abstracts. Bergman has had solo exhibitions at The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, MoMA/P.S.1 in New York, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Yossi Milo Gallery in New York, and Michael Hoppen Contemporary in London. Group shows include the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, MoMA, the Ackland Art Museum in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and the "Come Together: Surviving Sandy" exhibition in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to the collections of the Hill Art Foundation and Agnes Gund, President Emerita, MoMA, and numerous other individual's collections, Robert Bergman's work is in the permanent collections of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, which recently acquired a vintage set of the 51 A Kind of Rapture color portraits, the Cleveland Museum, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, The National Gallery of Art, the 21C Museum in Louisville, KY. His work has also been highlighted in books, magazines, and newspapers in the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany as well as on National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System. He received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2017.

October's Square Hole below. Just the details, that is. The actual gig itself can't be downloaded. Even if there was a transcript, it'd be a cold reading, at best. You'd really have to be there to fully appreciate it. It will contain eye contact and everything. Well, not everything, but cookies, at least.
