Harris in the volume’s introduction. Steinmetz captures “the more introspective moments” of travel in and out of the world’s most heavily trafficked airport and includes travelers of all ages “leaving one chapter of their lives and going to another,” as the artist stated in a 2019 interview at the museum. Airline pilots, ground personnel, flight attendants, and janitors are also pictured, always working, often waiting; they share a space with the travelers but remain apart.

Originally established as a countercultural commune in the early 1970s, today it exists as a kind of communal, longterm, living art project — a queered commune, farm, and homestead, open to artists and others curious to its potentials.

It’s in that gesture that we are brought into dialogue with Cole’s strategy of withholding, giving nothing away quickly or easily, even baffling the effort to identify..." — Cheryl Van Hooven [Read the full review]( [Order copies of Pharmakon]( ARRIVING SOON --------------------------------------------------------------- The Greatest Chris Smith The Greatest brings together nearly 100 photographs of Muhammad Ali at the height of his career by Chris Smith. The images are accompanied by Smith’s memories of his time spent with Ali from the early days of his career until his final years before retirement. [Order The Greatest or read more]( After The Moon Sebastian Sabal-Bruce The debut monograph of Chilean photographer Sebastian Sabal-Bruce weaves a narrative centered on a female protagonist emerging from confining urban landscapes. As she traverses these spaces, a poignant dance ensues between inauthenticity and authenticity, juxtaposing alienating city streets with raw, moonlit portraits. [Order After The Moon or read more]( NEW ARRIVALS --------------------------------------------------------------- Portraits to Dream In Francesca Woodman & Julia Margaret Cameron Living and working over a century apart, British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and American photographer Francesca Woodman experienced vastly different ways of making and understanding images. Yet the two share more similarities than expected. Both artists had brief careers lasting less than 15 years; while neither enjoyed popularity and success during their lives, they have posthumously received widespread acclaim. Their portraits feature ethereal, experimental qualities that connect them soundly across time. [Order Portraits to Dream In or read more]( Monuments of Solidarity LaToya Ruby Frazier For more than two decades, artist-activist LaToya Ruby Frazier has used photography, text, moving images and performance to revive and preserve forgotten narratives of labor, gender and race in the postindustrial era. Frazier has cultivated a practice that builds on the legacy of the social documentary tradition of the 1930s, the photo-conceptual forays of the 1960s and 1970s, and the work of socially conscious writers such as Upton Sinclair, James {NAME} and bell hooks.
