Gnomic Book on Twitter
A personal response to the news that many of us in the art community are struggling with today. Please do reach out if you need to talk, for any reason.

On the Line: Documents of Risk and Faith, by Makeda Best and Kevin Moore, is available now at gnomicbook.com. Gnomic also designed the exhibition at the Cincinnati Center for Contemporary Art.
The photo-based documentation of various artistic interventions featured in On the Line—the stills, the videos of ephemeral acts—suggest an expanded conception of photographic time, representation, and the document. The project thus positions these works as proposals for a new form of social documentary—or “concerned”—photography. Jointly, they offer an evocative expansion of the historical narrative of photography beyond familiar documentary methods, modalities, and attendant assumptions of objectivity toward a more honest, embodied, vulnerable, and up-to-date form of consciousness-raising expression.
On the Line features works by Allora & Calzadilla, Francis Alÿs, Mohamed Bourouissa, Abraham Cruzvillegas and Bárbara Foulkes, Mitch Epstein, Patricia Esquivias, Dara Friedman, Jim Goldberg, David Hammons and Dawoud Bey, Rashid Johnson, An-My Lê, Mary Mattingly, Paulo Nazareth, Wendy Red Star, Mauro Restiffe, Lordy Rodriguez, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Kevin Schmidt, Xaviera Simmons and Tania Willard.

Open, by Morgan Ashcom
We have spent much of 2022 working on Morgan Ashcom's new book, OPEN. It's an incredible project with a remarkable story; half of all the proceeds will be donated to Human Supporters Association, a Palestinian children's charity. Please preorder and support if you can!
A photobook exploring Palestinian apartheid through destroyed photographs and fragments of emails

We commissioned the talented to create the calligraphy for the box and the cover of the book, using different translations of the word “Open”. On the box itself, we find a more literal translation of the word; on the cover of the book, the meaning is closer to “violation”.
The preorder campaign for the book continues; the Kickstarter link is in the bio.

Janus
New project announcement! We're taking preorders for Janus, by Birthe Piontek (whose first book with Gnomic, Abendlied, was selected as one of TIME Magazine's best photobooks of 2018). I'm delighted to publish this, and I wrote the essay which accompanies the work.
Abendlied was supported by an Ed Burtynsky grant; this one we're doing with a presale campaign. If you're interested, please support and share! https://gnomicbook.com/products/janus
Preorder now for delivery in October 2021 Janus is another iteration of Birthe Piontek's ongoing inquiry into the topics of memory and change. The photographs in Janus were made in the same corner of Piontek's studio as she explores how an artist can find inspiration in the limitations of a specific...

Ryan Debolski, Like
Gnomic Book, 2020
LIKE esplora le relazioni fisiche e digitali dei
migranti lavoratori che si occupano di costruire
infrastrutture in Oman, una nazione in rapida
modernizzazione, ricca in olio e gas naturale.
Questi uomini, provenienti specialmente
dall’Africa dell’Est e dal subcontinente
Indiano, comunicano attraverso smartphone
largamente diffusi e a basso prezzo, che li
aiutano a superare l’isolamento sociale che
affrontano lavorando nei campi per anni. Nel
momento in cui nuovi amici entrano in contatto,
altri spariscono senza lasciare traccia, senza
più dare proprie notizie: i lavoratori vengono
deportati per varie ragioni, o smistati in diversi
campi della regione.

https://gnomicbook.com/products/primal-sight
Primal Sight includes works by 146 artists and essays by David Campany and Gregory Eddi Jones. "The project, curated by Efrem Zelony-Mindell, includes the works of intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and intersectional artists, each questioning the perceived order of things. These interrogations center on issues of race, gender, philosophy, and praxis, subverting traditional notions of black-and-white imagery into something feral and queered, possessed of previously unimagined possibilities.
These works embody a mastery of what is strengthened or weakened by the light inside them. Beyond our individual differences, there exist universal commonalities in the ways humans try to make sense of the world; as our fluency with visual vocabulary changes, these images change accordingly."
Paris Photo and Aperture Foundation, in partnership with Delpire & Co, are pleased to announce the winners of the 2020 Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards.
Living Trust by Buck Ellison (Loose Joints Publishing, Marseille, France) is the winner of $10,000 and the First PhotoBook award.
Woman Go No’Gree by Gloria Oyarzabal (Editorial RM, Barcelona, and Images Vevey, Switzerland) is the winner of PhotoBook of the Year.
The selection for Photography Catalogue of the Year is Imagining Everyday Life: Engagements with Vernacular Photography, edited by Tina M. Campt,Marianne Hirsch, Gil Hochberg, and Brian Wallis (Walther Collection, New York, and Steidl, Göttingen, Germany).
A Jurors’ Special Mention for First PhotoBook goes to LIKE by Ryan Debolski (Gnomic Book, Brooklyn).
Masculinity, we’re told, over and over again, is undergoing a crisis. In recent years, the phrase “toxic masculinity” has filled the room like a sour smell. Shane Rocheleau’s first monograph, You are Masters of the Fish and Birds and All the Animals, is an exploration of the space he occupies as “a white American male trying to contend with the entitlement my culture confers upon me”, he explains. Privilege is invisible; those who have it often don’t see it or chose to actively ignore it.
Shane Rocheleau was born in Falmouth, Massachussetts in 1977. He received his BA (1999) in Psychology and English from St. Michael’s College in Vermont, a Post-Baccalaureate Cerificate (2005) in Fine Art from Maryland Institute College of Art, and his MFA (2007) in Photography and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).
His first monograph, You Are Masters Of The Fish And Birds And All The Animals (YAMOTFABAATA), was published in April, 2018 Gnomic Book. His second, The Reflection in the Pool, was published in April, 2019 Gnomic Book.
He currently lives and works in Richmond, Virginia.

🇳🇱 “Mijn lichaam veranderde in elk opzicht, dus begon ik door mijn camera naar mezelf te kijken”. Deze video vergezelde een limited edition kunstenaarsboek (‘Half Light’) van de Iraanse fotograaf Shahrzad Darafsheh, een 37-jarige kunstenaar die in deze periode tegen kanker vocht in Teheran. Op dit moment is ze in quarantaine, zoals velen van ons. ‘Half Light’ biedt ons een kijkje in haar leven en in hoe zij haar ziekte ervaarde. Ze nodigt ons uit in een land waar velen van ons weinig over weten. Het is ook een experiment in het vertellen van verhalen, aangezien de ervaring varieert afhankelijk van de taal waarin je het tweetalige boek leest. Wanneer je het boek in het Farsi leest, van rechts naar links, is het resultaat heel anders dan wat een Engelse lezer zal ervaren. Darafsheh's werk was te zien in de booth van Ag Galerie in Iran tijdens Unseen 2019. Je kunt dit limited edition kunstenaarsboek kopen op Gnomic Book
The book is carefully curated by Efrem Zelony-Mindell (b. 1987, the USA) and additionally features essays written by Charlotte Cotton and Ashley McNelis.
