OUT OF STOCK Dan McCarthy: Drawings 2007 Honolulu-born, Brooklyn-based Dan McCarthy uses oil on canvas, but his paintings often look as if they were made with watercolor or gouache. He is fond of thin paint and frequently layers a dark blue or black wash over phosphorescent pastel hues. This signed edition is a collection of twenty line drawn portraits by the artist. DRAWING 2007, 6 x 8 inches, 20 pp, color illus. Softcover, no ISBN code: has dan F-7

OUT OF STOCK Leslie Shows: Black Icebergs Luscious and deep, Show’s paintings resemble images of dark, sliding ice. Her liquid forms and hints of supernatural color bring the viewer to a undeniably voluptuous and poetic nexus of painterly form. PAINTING 2008, 6 x 8 inches, 24 pp, color illus. Softcover, no ISBN code: has les F-7

OUT OF STOCK Marcelo Gomes: Love and Before, Green and After The photographs of Marcelo Gomes are not classical or rooted in formalism; rather, they disembark from the tropes of photography and enter an extraordinary realm of spontaneity and reconfiguration of frame. Often out of focus and off centered, the subjects of phenomena, humans, and nature are captured with remarkable vibrancy and colorful hues. PHOTOGRAPHY 2008, 7 x 9 inches, 28 pp, color illus. Softcover, ISBN 978-0-9800935-4-4 code: has mar A-4

OUT OF STOCK Anne Collier: Woman With A Camera (35mm) This book documents Anne Collier’s 2009 piece Woman With A Camera (35mm), for which the artist transferred eighteen frames from the 1978 film Eyes of Laura Mars to slide format, and then projected them sequentially on a timed loop in the darkened gallery space. In the chosen sequence, Faye Dunaway, the eponymous fashion photographer, squints into her Nikon FM, takes a photo, and then pulls the camera away, her eyes widening in horror. Woman With A Camera (35mm) is part of Collier’s series of appropriated images from the 1970s and early 80s, which references women and photography (at the same time making an unmistakable connection to the artist herself). The book contains the eighteen color stills from Woman With A Camera (35 mm) and an essay by Tom McDonough. CONTEMPORARY ART/PHOTOGRAPHY 2009, 7 x 8.75 inches, 44 pp, color images Softcover, ISBN: 978-0-9825471-0-6 code: has 35mm F-7

OUT OF STOCK Marcelo Gomes: Taciturn Heart *PLEASE NOTE: contains mature content Brazilian photographer Marcelo Gomes began his career shooting for Index Magazine in New York. Without an art school background, the job exposed him to contemporary photographers Wolfgang Tillmans, Mark Borthwick, and Juergen Teller. Gomes finds inspiration in the everyday: his images are of blurry landscapes and domestic scenes washed with unexpected color combinations. They vacillate between fashion photography and candid snapshots. CONTEMPORARY ART/PHOTOGRAPHY 2010, 6.5 x 9 inches, 32 pp, color images Softcover, ISBN: 978-0-98254371-1-3 code: has heart F-7

OUT OF STOCK Sam Falls: Color Dying Light *PLEASE NOTE: contains mature content This artist book features work by photographer Sam Falls. Interested in the development of color and composition throughout art history—particularly where these were attacked, torn apart, or dispersed—Falls rebuilds elements of more traditional forms and then documents them with large-format photography, inciting a dialogue about the rigor of art history and its artists. The images in the book include examples of this re-contextualization of objects from art history, along with landscapes and still-lifes. CONTEMPORARY ART/PHOTOGRAPHY 2010, 9 x 12 inches, 16 pp, color illus. Softcover, ISBN: 978-0-9800935-9-9 code: has falls F-7

OUT OF STOCK David Schoerner: Photographs This contemplative collection of images from David Schoerner’s recent photographic practice reads as a visual essay, free of text or titles. Lushly produced still-lifes of nautical maps and other ephemera are joined by photographs that capture the varying moods of waves. Softly lit portraits, environmental surfaces, and quiet landscapes heighten the viewer’s awareness of the camera's roles. Thematically, the images call up the fleeting sensations and memories of summer and the passage of youth. PHOTOGRAPHY 2010, 8.5 x 10 inches, 48 pp., color images Hardcover, ISBN: 978-0-9825471-2-0 code: has dsph F-5

OUT OF STOCK Kate Steciw: The Strangeness of This Idea Digital artist and photographer Kate Steciw says of her work, “photographically, and aesthetically, I am interested in making a photograph ‘other,’ letting it move beyond the 2D and exist in 3D and even 4D spaces or implied spaces, but also juxtaposing the mundane or expected with the altered or intangible.” Her subject matter and formal apporach include slick naturalist and commercial photography digitally altered to create geometric patterns. CONTEMPORARY ART/PHOTOGRAPHY 2010, 9 x 11 inches, 28 pp, color images Softcover, ISBN: 978-0-9825471-3-7 code: has stec F-7

OUT OF STOCK Dying Birds This artist book by Nicolai Howalt and Trine Sondergaard features a series of photographs of dying birds. Presumably being shot as game, the images capture the moment between flight and free-fall, the birds surrounded by the empty field of the sky. The line between life and death becomes ambiguous. Twenty black and white images are reproduced here with no accompanied text. PHOTOGRAPHY/ARTIST BOOK 2010, 9 x 6.5 inches, 32 pp, black and white illus. Staple-bound, ISBN: 978-0-9825471-4-4 code: has bird F-6

OUT OF STOCK Torbjorn Rodland: Andy Cap Variations *PLEASE NOTE: contains mature content. Andy Cap Variations is a series of images by artist Torbjorn Rodland that places a graphic of the eponymous character on a piece of glass in different, often mundane, domestic contexts. The consistent, tight shots on the graphic make the setting indeterminate yet familiar. The sheet of glass with the decal is often pushed between objects, including flesh, fabric, and broken glass, establishing new relationships for the figure to his surroundings. Includes black and white photographs and no text. PLEASE NOTE: contains nudity and may not be appropriate for young audiences. CONTEMPORARY ART/ARTIST BOOK 2011, 7.75 x 9.55 inches, 32 pp, black and white illus. Staple-bound, ISBN: 978-0-9825471-6-8 code: has cap F-6

OUT OF STOCK Lucas Blalock : Toward a Warm Math *PLEASE NOTE: contains mature content. Lucas Blalock’s photographic work is interested in reflection and surface. The realness and authenticity of the photograph is brought into question as an image is mirrored, layered and re-photographed. The series begins to function, at times, like op art as geometric patterned fabric, translucent objects, and mirrors interact. An essay by John Houck precedes the 21 color images in this artist book. PLEASE NOTE: contains nudity and may not be appropriate for young audiences. PHOTOGRAPHY 2011, 10 x 8 inches, 32 pp, color illus. Staple-bound, ISBN: 978-0-9825471-7-5 code: has math F-6
