Book Details: HardcoverISBN-13: 9781954119642112 pages; 55 Photographs8 x 10 inchesForeword by Jill SterrettEssay by Lisa StoneA reconsideration of Lewis Koch's seminal photographic work on vernacular architecture, Quiet Eccentricities: The Vernacular Seen presents mostly unpublished work made for a National Endowment for the Arts Photography Survey project which took place in southern Wisconsin, in the early 1980s. In addition to a key selection of the original images, an essay by curator and art historian Lisa Stone examines Koch's photographs of commonplace structures in relation to his early work which preceded the NEA project, and the later work which it in turn inspired.Drawing upon aspects of photography, sculpture, assemblage and text, Lewis Koch calls attention to the often unremarked upon elements of everyday life. Over the past fifty years, he has presented installations in garages, on kiosks and billboards, as well as in museums and galleries, in solo exhibitions internationally.  His work is held in permanent collections which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, National Gallery of Art, and many more.Jill Sterrett is Director of Collections at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Before her tenure in Wisconsin, she held leadership positions at the Smart Museum of Art (Chicago), and for 28 years at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Lisa Stone is an independent curator/collaborator, preservation consultant, and retired (2020) curator of the Roger Brown Study Collection, and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism, both at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).  View Details

Book Details: HardcoverISBN-13: 978195411961196 pages; 30 Photographs9 x 13 inches$50 USLighting Director and Visual Collaborator: Lipe BorgesInvisible Threads is a collaborative portrait and narrative project that offers an intimate look into the lives of immigrants who have made Cape Cod their home. Created through a shared process between photographer Julia Cumes, lighting director Lipe Borges, and the subjects themselves, the portraits are intentionally constructed rather than photojournalistic, shaped through conversation, trust, and personal choice.Often understood primarily as a summer destination, Cape Cod is also one of the earliest landing points in the United States’ immigration history—a place shaped for centuries by arrival, labor, displacement, and reinvention. Drawing on this deeper historical context, the project connects contemporary migration stories to a much longer American narrative. Through carefully crafted portraits made in homes, workplaces, and meaningful personal spaces, Invisible Threads reflects resilience, identity, and the enduring human search for belonging. Extended captions drawn from in-depth interviews allow participants to shape their own narratives, centering dignity, agency, and authenticity.Julia Cumes is a South Africa–born, Cape Cod–based photographer whose work explores identity, migration, community, and human connection through collaborative, narrative-driven portraiture. Growing up in apartheid-era South Africa, she became aware early on of photography’s power to reveal truth, evoke empathy, and foster dialogue—an understanding that continues to inform her practice.Lipe Borges is a Brazilian-born photographer and lighting director based on Cape Cod. Borges brings a cinematic, narrative-driven approach to portraiture, using carefully constructed lighting environments to create images with emotional depth and psychological presence. View Details

Book Details: HardcoverISBN-13: 9781954119604112 pages; 50 Photographs6.75 x 9.5 inchesThe Last Post compiles the last photos posted on social media by people who have passed away, along with the corresponding text pieces that detail the images and the deaths. It addresses the aesthetics of vernacular imagery and the views of mortality and life, investigating how photographs circulate in our daily lives in the digital sharing age.The deliberately sequenced and recontextualized last posts convey fictional narratives full of ambiguity and mystery, depicting life stories and grappling with the complexity of loss and absence. Meanwhile, the texts reveal factual information about the images and the deaths of the individuals who posted the photographs. Each text piece consists of the corresponding image posting date, image caption (if written), name of the individual who passed away, cause, date, location of death, and a short statement describing the death circumstance.The images and texts in this project offer contextual information for each other, serving as different layers of fictional stories and factual realities. Image and text are separately placed, creating a zone of inquiry for the audience to investigate as they explore the connections/disconnections between the two parts and create multi-layered narratives for interpretation.Tianqiutao Chen received an MFA in Photography and an MA in Art + Design Education from the Rhode Island School of Design. Currently, Chen is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Art and Art History Department at Auburn University in Auburn, AL, USA.Chen’s work has been exhibited widely, including at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Figge Art Museum, Center for Photography at Woodstock, Photographic Center Northwest, Modern Art Oxford, DongGang International Photo Festival, and Copenhagen Photo Festival, among others. His work was selected for the 2022 Critical Mass Top 50 and made the winners shortlist for the Projects & Portfolios section of the 2025 URBAN Photo Awards. His photobook won the Lucie Photo Book Prize for the Independent Publishing Category. View Details

Book Details: HardcoverISBN-13: 9781954119444112 pages; 45 Photographs7 x 10 inches$50 USFeatured in: All About Photo, F-Stop, Girl Talk Headquarters, and Labor Art ReviewFamily Amnesia is a visual tribute and love letter honoring the artist's Chinese American family roots in the U.S. The art book explores her family's multi-generational resilience and resistance through mixed media collages, her grandfather’s photographs, her own captured images and archival material.The book project honors the past and current lives of Asian Americans and immigrants in the U.S. by examining the incalculable and traumatic impact that historical events like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act continue to have on the Asian American experience. This is a painful part of our American history. Betty Yu is reclaiming that narrative through her own personal family’s story. The book will feature her grandfather’s role as a founding member of the Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance of NY, her mother’s plight as a garment worker who became a labor organizer, as well as her sister’s legacy as a community activist. Yu knows that her family's story is not unique. It is part of the larger collective Asian-American immigration experience.This book project reminds us that the rise of COVID-related anti-Asian violence is part of a larger history of systemic racism. As the U.S. government and corporate-run media continue to vilify China as a global threat, Family Amnesia recalls the anti-China and anti-Asian paranoia and hysteria that created the policies like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and the 1942 Executive Order that placed Japanese-Americans into internment camps. The book will also draw visually on geo-political history, recalling narratives that mocked China as the "sick man of Asia '' and that demonized Chinese as “Yellow Peril”. Betty Yu is an award-winning filmmaker, socially engaged multimedia artist, photographer and activist born and raised in NYC. Yu integrates documentary film, installation, new media platforms, and community-infused approaches into her practice. Betty’s films and multimedia work has focused on labor, immigration, gentrification, abolition, racism, militarism, transgender equality among other issues.   View Details

Book Details: HardcoverISBN-13: 9781954119451180 pages; 79 Photographs12.6 x 10.5 inches$50 USEssay by Christina BartonThe Afterglow of Industry brings together photographs from a ten-year project in which artist Chris Corson-Scott repeatedly travelled the extent of Aotearoa New Zealand, seeking out unknown, or remote sites which illuminate our dysfunctional present. Following this, several years were spent researching and writing on each of the 79 photographs featured in this book. In these texts, colonial and industrial histories weave in and out of geology, pre- European Māori history, outside forces from the United States and Europe, and contemporary issues like privatisation, asset sales, the New Zealand housing crisis, and the country’s rebranding as a ‘clean & green’ tourist destination.Similar to the collapse of America’s industrial Midwest, New Zealand has also experienced the whiplash of industry vanishing. Here though, this has been complicated by much of this industry first emerging in conjunction with European colonization. Corson-Scott’s work focuses on these tensions, particularly in Te Waipounamu South Island, where the regions of the West Coast and Otago see industrial remnants contrasted with vast and complex landscapes. From these areas come images of freezing works on sacred rivers, contested mining projects, dwellings of 19 th century Chinese miners, gold processing plants still contaminated more than a century later, floods of acid mine drainage, and the demolition of factories which once built the country’s modern infrastructure. Elsewhere, on a remote sandspit is one of history’s largest whale strandings, industrial spaces are repurposed by artists, controversial hydroelectric schemes divert rivers, ancient forest remnants become tourism, and city fringe orchards are bulldozed for development.Chris Corson-Scott is an artist from Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. His photography has been exhibited in over 40 museum and private gallery exhibitions in Aotearoa, and his work is held in permanent collections including: Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, and Ngā Puhipuhi o Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington Art Collection.

Kyne photographs as a means understanding so-called reality, wondering what lies outside of the environment that she can detect with her own limited human biology. Ultimately, Kyne produces a photography of nature that does not rely on the nature genre, or even on the subject matter of nature for engagement or visual enjoyment, but instead examines the possibilities in the not-sensed and the imagined. A Crack In The World contains fresh and elegant, yet layered and technically complex photographs that inspire empathy for all beings, and the planet that sustains them. An accompanying essay by Susan Griffin examines the artistic and theoretical implications of this deceptively simple body of work.Barbara Kyne is an artist based in Oakland, California. Her work has been shown at SF Camerawork, Photo Center NW, the Trition Museum of Art, The Kala Institute, and the Bedford Gallery, and is featured in many contemporary photography books and publications.
