8x8
In the spirit of artistic collaboration, The Coop and Gapers Block teamed up to produce 8x8, an experiment in writing and design.

The results of this experiment are presented in limited edition poster form, with writing and design back to back.

Note Well
Note Well is a new book by Debbie Carlos for 5x7.
Debbie's photos attempt to capture objects at their moments of greatest clarity: In certain light, at a certain time of day, in a certain place. The method is to wander and notice. Moments of quiet strangeness, patterns of light and shadow, minute-by-minute surprises, changes that don’t happen, something askew, something exactly in place, natural and artificial phenomena, are all sources of inspiration, and the subjects for her work.
You can buy a copy here.

KIN
KIN: someone or something of the same or similar kind.
Our kin is a web of social relationships - our clan, our tribe, our people. As we have evolved through time, the desire for family becomes centered less on the nexus of blood relations, and has shifted to shared cultural interests as a base for social identity. KIN is an exhibition of photographic work depicting groups of kindred souls, whose basis of kinship seeks to broaden the very definition of the word. Focusing largely on youth culture, KIN explores some of the ties that bind us: family, neighborhood, sport and music. Featuring artists Andreas Laszlo Konrath, Brian Sorg, Christopher Semel, Gary Briechle, Jeffrey Wolin, Leasha Overturf and Paul Elledge. Curated by Jason Robinette.
Opening Reception at the Highland Park Art Center: Friday, March 2nd from 6:30 - 9:00pm

Loving the Bread Moon series by London-basd photographer David Gill. His other work isn’t too shabby either…
