Pagethrough: A Chance That Nothing Will Happen

A Chance That Nothing Will Happen is a hand-made hardcover book published by Permanent Drift. The book is based on a series of photographs made in Philadelphia by John Patrick Waller.  Through the practice of repeated walking over the course of the subterranean Chocksink Creek, and developing in water from the Delaware River, an attempt was made to explore an invisible feature of the city's infrastructure.

Jordan Baumgarten: Slow Blink Open Mouth

Please consider purchasing a print from Jordan Baumgarten, who is currently fundraising to cover publishing costs of his latest photography book, Slow Blink Open Mouth, soon to be published by GOST. Jordan has been a friend and inspiration over the years, and this is a great way to show your support for the arts in a direct, tangible way.

From Jordan:

"Slow Blink Open Mouth is a glimpse into the rampant chaos and lawlessness present in a place with no oversight. With that apparent lawlessness, chaos is inevitable; that chaos is now evident, with the city of Philadelphia in the grip of the opioid crisis. In this world, private moments are public, animals and humans roam free, fueled by id, and always, somewhere, there is a fire burning. My neighborhood, Kensington, happens to be the nexus for those in and around Philadelphia seeking heroin, and all that it entails. The title Slow Blink Open Mouth comes from the pictograph illustrating “severe pain” in hospital universal pain assessment tools. I discovered this while in the hospital after someone stuck me with a used heroin needle during my work on this project. The title is also meant to convey being stoned or astonished, as well as the feelings of bliss and ecstasy. At its core, the project is about the opioid epidemic and its supporting addiction-based economy. While all the photographs were made in Philadelphia, the project is not about that specific place. Rather, the city serves as a microcosm to discuss issues tearing apart the fabric of our social landscape. I ask that you consider the following in an effort to support my work: Portfolio of prints from the project + copy of the book: edition of 3 - $5,000 each Special Edition Book with 5 8x10 prints: edition of 10 - $1,000 each 16x20 print + copy off the book: edition of 5 - $800 each If you’re interested, please check out Slow Blink Open Mouth on my website to choose a photo or photos you would like."

"Provoke: Between Protest and Performance" Giveaway by A/Fixed - 3 Signed Copies!

If you haven't picked up a free copy of A/Fixed yet, now is a good time to do it because they're giving away 3 signed copies of "Provoke: Between Protest And Performance", a must-have for fans of Japanese photography.

Here's some more about the tabloid:

"Consider an image that is missing pixels: the general idea is conveyed, but crucial components are left out. These pixel-raided images are the same as photographic history: language gaps and cultural borders skew the universal message of photography and its fascinating heritage. A/fixed fills in those missing pixels by bringing the images created by Japanese artists and the stories behind them to a Western audience in an exciting English language publication. Each stunning bi-annual print edition focuses on a specific topic in Japanese photography that, over time, will illuminate the entire history of the field."  -- https://afixed.in/

A Charming Form of Government: Closing reception + Curate Your Own Zine w/Permanent Drift

Just a reminder that Permanent Drift and Gravy Studio are offering another curate-your-own-zine event in conjunction with the closing reception of A Charming Form Of Government by Jessica Kourkounis and Ryan Collerd.

Details below:

We are again proud to be collaborating with Gravy Studio to create a series of bespoke zines in concert with their latest show of photographs; A Charming Form Of Government by Jessica Kourkounis and Ryan Collerd. The title is derived from the words of Plato and is as relevant in today’s society as when it was written … when date stamps still ended with BC...

"Democracy … is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike."

The work is powerful, it is poignant, and now iconic with everything surrounding this tempestuous new administration. Join us at Gravy for the closing reception on February 25th to hear from the artists on what the grueling campaign meant for them, their work - and what challenges they now face, post election. Let us all come together and attempt to find solace in this new era of American politics.

Gravy also presents, Curate Your Own Zine!  We asked our community of artists to send us their photos and/or writing that evoke feelings about what is going on in America today; issues they are worried about, photos from protests, things they saw on the street, experiences from traveling, portraits, places, events, etc.  By sharing the artwork in this zine, we hope to create a collective view on how we want America to be seen and heard.

In the gallery below, we have collected a group of images via open call submissions, from which you may choose 10 images to include in your edit. Orders are typically assembled and shipped within a week of receipt. All sales will be donated to the ACLU of Pennsylvania.
