Sadko Hadzihasanovic
September 2007: Broken Promises, Soviet Photography in the Age of Stalin
Michael Johns, J. L. Black et al
Initiated by the acquisition of the Sovfoto Archive - a collection of photographs produced by the Soviet Union during the Second World War and intended for the American press - this publication includes numerous examples from the collection, two scholarly essays and responses from three contemporary artists. While Johns outlines the role of myths and symbols in the development of the Soviet Union, Black describes how the censorship institutionalized by Stalin operated. The artists - Olexander Wlasenko, Sadko Hadzihasanovic and Robin Pacific - examine the repercussions of propaganda on art and the media. J. L. Black is the editor of the Russia and Eurasia Documents Annual series. Michael Johns has published in journals such as Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict and East European Politics and Societies.

Sadko Hadzihasanovic: The Talk Show Host, the Child Murderer, the Art Star and the Art Star's Wife
Gary Michael Dault
Born in Bosnia, Hadzihasanovic emigrated to Canada in 1993. His large "celebrity" portraits (60 inches square) applied to his now-trademark sheets of wallpaper have an intense immediacy. "It is very boring for me just to do portraits, so I start to play around as if I were making the front page of a magazine."
