"READER BEWARE," photographer and @imagetextithaca co-director Nicholas Muellner writes in the essay, "Making Doubles," the opener to Lacuna Park, his brilliant new collection from @selfpublishbehappy . "This essay has failed. I have been trying to build it for over a decade, but each new edifice of argument inevitably collapses in a contradictory heap of rubble. I have finally come to accept this essay as wreckage: the articulated ruins of an unfinished architecture. It's what I deserve for asking myself a trick question, for trying to build at a time when all the fault lines seem active. I wanted you to see what I have been feeling, but the ground kept shifting beneath my heart." If there's a more endearing introductory paragraph to a photography writings collection, we don't know it. Have your copy signed today at the @printedmatter_artbookfairs , where Muellner will present a scripted slide reading at the @artbookps1 event space from 3–4 PM. #lacunapark #nicholasmuellner https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uMo0Mpjbz/?igshid=xx50ehwzfqfq

TODAY at the NY Art Book Fair! 3–4 PM: ‘Lacuna Park: Essays and Other Adventures in Photography’ with Nicholas Muellner at the Artbook Bookstore Event Space, first floor of the museum. Nicholas Muellner presents Making Doubles, a scripted slide reading based on the opening essay of Lacuna Park: Essays and Other Adventures in Photography. The essay traces links between our own appearances in images and our ongoing submission to the seductions of coercive ideology. Intertwining memoir, reportage, fiction and theory. Presented by SPBH Editions. #nicholasmuellner #lacunapark @jennifer_soong_ #jennifersoong @selfpublishbehappy #artbookevents @artbookps1 #nyabf2019 @printedmatter_artbookfairs https://www.instagram.com/p/B2tzcBbJdIk/?igshid=1pgv1g5g1nlyo

Nicholas Muellner is an artist who operates at the intersection of photography and writing. Through books, exhibitions and slide lectures, his projects investigate the limits of photography as a documentary pursuit and as an interface to socio-political and personal narratives. Often focused on a queer experience of the post-Soviet world, his work transforms descriptive accounts into literary dramas, autobiographical reflections, and philosophical inquiries. Muellner’s five published books include The Photograph Commands Indifference (A-Jump Books, 2009), The Amnesia Pavilions (A-Jump Books, 2011) and In Most Tides, An Island (SPBH Editions, 2017), which was shortlisted for the Aperture/Paris Photo Photobook of the Year Award. Muellner received a Guggenheim Foundation award in 2018. Muellner along with colleague Jo Ann Walters were presenting lectures today as part of the Clarence White Fund lecture series. #ohiouniversity #clarencewhitefund #inmosttidesanisland #nicholasmuellner (at School of Art + Design at Ohio University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn2q1lwHbBM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ai92ndjw682z
