Sons of the Living is a photobook about the land and people along the highways of America’s deserts. Photographed over the course of a decade in the American West’s arid and sweeping terrain, this work depicts a human capacity for endurance. Schutmaat offers an updated view of the “open road” that addresses a new era of uncertainty and anxiety. Amidst a backdrop of environmental decline, economic dispossession, and societal neglect, Sons of the Living draws attention to trouble on the road ahead and searches for our hope to withstand it.

In Cursed, Charlie Engman harnesses generative AI’s uncanny distortions of the physical world to explore the pleasure, humour, and horror of the body. This captivating portfolio of images unpicks AI’s characteristic gap between expectation and outcome, challenging our preconceptions of how the world should be and appear. Can simulation and collective knowledge drive innovation and individuation, or does the recycling of images and ideas doom us to repeat our failures? Can AI’s detachment from reality illuminate the blessing and the curse of “real life”?

This time he has zeroed in on a single location: Mundare, population ~700. This is a small town in central Alberta, first settled by Ukrainian immigrants in 1907. It proudly claims to host the world’s largest garlic sausage statue. It is also the original hometown of Kyler Zeleny. Never mind Thomas Wolfe’s warning. Zeleny can indeed go home again. He toted along his camera gear, plus an old yearbook for good measure. The resulting monograph documents some of the people and places of modern day Mundare. Better yet, it offers a window into Zeleny’s shifting curatorial style..." — Blake Andrews [Read the Full Review]( [Order Copies]( RECENTLY FEATURED Life Dances On Robert Frank in Dialogue This volume, published in conjunction with the artist’s first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, provides new insights into the interdisciplinary and lesser-known aspects of Robert Frank’s expansive career. The exhibition explores the six decades that followed his landmark photobook The Americans, a period in which Frank maintained an extraordinarily multifaceted practice characterized by perpetual experimentation across mediums and artistic and personal dialogues with other artists and with his communities.
