Todd Fisher's photos of New York in winter show slushy, dirty snow. Household objects, TVs, cars and chairs, have been chucked unlovingly onto the street. The home comforts look strange in their new, hostile setting. Photographed over the last decade, the photos preserve moments that would otherwise have long melted away. The photograph is the rescue - temporary scenes that are becoming harder to come across, as the city changes. New York is a city being scrubbed squeaky clean.

Revenge publishing? A new genre? Or has it been around since writers first put pen to paper? Isn't all writing to some degree a means to avenge an oversight or a rejection, intending to set the record straight? A number of pieces in this collection which were commissioned, accepted, and paid for, never appeared for one reason or another, whether devious or common: books don't always cross the finish line. Years go by. Patience evaporates. Corrected Proofs aims to seek remedy. In addition to previously unpublished pieces, a number of essays and interviews were written specially for this collection: on Lutz Bacher and Charles Ray, with Arnold J. Kemp. There are heroes and villains, from the assassins John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cady Noland and Steven Parrino. Here the reader encounters usual suspects in unexpected context-Marcel Duchamp, Ed Ruscha and Andy Warhol-and artists recently rediscovered-Bob Smith and Stephen Varble-alongside Lee Lozano, the January 6 insurrection, and The Fall.

When You Invent the Ship, You Also Invent the Shipwreck is a stream of images from the past 25 years of Peter Funch's vast archive. Images created around the world, with different potentials, all motivated by a hungry curiosity. Images composed with an array of image capturing tools, digital and analogue, some heavily reworked, others straight from the negative. Interconnecting with images of passages of texts from an eclectic collection of writers. When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck is a visual odyssey that engages you in media res. Leaving behind the concept of traditional time; past - present - future - for a prevailing feeling of now. The work unfolds differently with each journey from eye through mind. A sense of emancipation emanates from the book - images set free from restraining concepts and categories - born again into this world of endless images. This feeling of sustainable revolution is enhanced by the book production and title. The book is printed on dead stock left from other publications produced by the craftwomen and men at Narayana Press. A process that somehow sets the work free, as the look and feel of the book is released and left to chance. The title is a recycled fragment of a Paul Virilio quote, in the present context a reminder of the cyclical nature of creation and destruction. Constant transformation.

'NEVER RUN FASTER THAN YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL CAN FLY' is Fryd Frydendahl's first publication with At Last Books. The book works as a series of diaristic entrances made while Frydendahl, a longtime resident of New York City, found herself in quarantine during COVID-19 with her family in western Jutland, Denmark. Mette Kia Krabbe Meyer, a Senior Research Fellow at the Royal Danish Library, was invited to write accommodating text pieces for Frydendahl's photos with images and texts feeding off of each other.

"Maybe by closing our eyes, we see more clearly. These constructs insinuate the secrets that the corner itself elucidates. These crossings outlive any attempts to capture. They clasp. "Adam Kremer is an Australian photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. At the center of his work is an evolving and meandering emotional narrative, informed by the camera's ability to isolate and collect. Created through equal parts of observation and choreography, object and body, his images suggest elements of time, distance, and visibility unique to the operations of photography. With an introduction by Jenni Crain.
