Night Walk
Photographs by Ken Schles
Published by Steidl
$50 SIGNED — Purchase Book

"Twenty-five years after the printing of his seminal 1988 book, Invisible City, Ken Schles revisits his archive and fashions a narrative of lost youth: a delirious, peripatetic walk in the evening air of an irretrievable Downtown New York as he saw and experienced it. Night Walk is a substantive and intimate chronicle of New York's last pre-Internet bohemian outpost, a stream of consciousness portrayal that peels back layers of petulance and squalor to find the frisson and striving of a life lived amongst the rubble."the publisher

Selected as one of the Best Books of 2014 by Markus Schaden





Self-Publish Be Happy (SPBH) Book Club Vol. VII 
Photographs by Lucas Blalock
Published by Self-Publish Be Happy
$83 SIGNED — Purchase Book

"SPBH Book Club Vol. VII continues Blalock's investigation of stand-ins, or surrogates, with hot dogs acting as line, brushstroke, body part, and still life object. The bodied-ness of this food stuff has an uneasy, uncanny, relationship with the surface-less photograph, and this is a situation that the pictures exploit through humor and ickiness. The book itself is as much object as book with its contents in shifting orientation and the whole thing sealed shut with a sticker."the publisher

Selected as Book of the Week by RĂ©mi Faucheux




The Hereditary Estate
Photographs by Daniel Coburn. Text by Karen Irvine and Kirsten Pai Buick
Kehret Verlag
$55 SIGNED — Purchase Book

"The Hereditary Estate functions as a ten-year retrospective and as a conceptual work of art. Daniel Coburn's work investigates the family photo album employed as the visual infrastructure for the flawed ideology of the American Dream. Frustrated by the lack of images that document the true and sometimes troubling nature of his own familial history, the photographer set out to create a new archive, a potent supplement to the broken family album that exists in many families."the publisher




Morphology
Photographs by Iseo Nose
AKAAKA
$47 SIGNED — Purchase Book

"A photography book that manages to capture the likeness of stars being born to form a galaxy, of plants eroding a vacant land, of the sensation of distance when we look intently while touching, of sediment in the gutter changing its shimmer with the flow of water and temperature.

If we abolish the dichotomy of the living and non-living, and regard all things in the world as living, moving beings, the sensations of us, who are alive, and the guise of the world, alive as well, meet, and from their interaction with each other, a “living form” emerges. A rare book that expresses the Morphology of Goethe, the Anthrosophy of Rudolf Steiner, in the form of art."the publisher
