NEW YORK ISSUE 132 Oct 2008

Julian Hibbard continues to investigate bringing garments and objects to life, through the activity of the wearer and the role of spectator.

This past May he exhibited one such special assignment undertaken for the design showroom Introset/Bulthaup at the prestigious Fundación RAC Gallery (Rosón Arte Contemporáneo) in Pontevedra, northern Spain.

Julian's cinematic and cryptic images continue to be used by international book publishers to illustrate book covers. His most recent example is 'The Birthday Present' by Ruth Rendell, published by Penguin Books.

Julian is pleased to announce that he recently signed his own book deal with Mark Batty Publishers, for a title featuring his own photography that will be available in February 2009.
