📖 The Scoop

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.Published with Cristina Bechtler in collaboration with Christie's.
