PA

"PA" is an artist´s magazine which is published annually. Each issue presents an in-depth look at the oeuvre of a contemporary artist working in the medium of photography. The artists are given the opportunity to invite a fellow artist of their choice to make a contribution to the issue and to engage in a dialogue about their practice.

American artist John Baldessari and film set designer Naomi Shohan created "PA" #3 presenting a unique combination: film stills from the outsider´s view—the artist´s take on Hollywood—and film stills from the insider´s view—the set designer who has worked on many major film productions such as "American Beauty," "Constantine," "The Replacement Killers," "The Sorcerer´s Apprentice," as well as many others. They engage in a visual dialogue and play with juxtapositions, correspondences, and contrasts, which add new surprising, ironic, and witty dimensions and narrations to the images.

The publication includes a conversation between John Baldessari and Naomi Shohan, moderated by Amy Cappellazzo, as well as texts by David Campany and Jessica Morgan.
