I was recently contacted by Joscha about his new book, a man sat alone in his room. The book is a collaborative effort between artists Joscha Bruckert and Andreas Till, bringing together an eclectic sense of style and imagery.

Sometime last year, I discovered Matthew Monteith’s series Czech Eden through a post by Shane Lavalette. I was recently fortunate to have some time to sit with the book and admire the tangible prints.
Here are some of my favorite images from the book;

I’m heading out early tomorrow to New York for the launch party and signing of Lay Flat 02: Meta. The party will be held in the book store of the International Center of Photography between 6:00 and 7:30 tomorrow evening - March 26th. Books will be available at the event and Artists as well as the Editors (Shane Lavalette & Michael Bühler-Rose) will be in attendance to sign copies of the issue.
Though I am still on a bit of an internet break, I am extremely excited about the release of Lay Flat 02: Meta. I have been fortunate enough to have been able to be a part of the process and to see the issue evolve along the way.
Lay Flat 02: Meta is the product of a collaboration between Editor Shane Lavalette and Guest Editor Michael Bühler-Rose. For just 30 dollars, it is also one of the more affordable and polished publications I have seen recently.

I was thrilled to recently receive my copy of Gravity by Kalle Sanner. The book is available through Farewell, and at a very affordable price, is well worth buying. This is one of the better small artist’s books/zines I’ve seen recently.
