<p>Another Twenty-Six Gas Stations is a new media artist book that blends notions of surveillance, crime photography, advertising and found text. Together these elements form a dark and incisive commentary on an American culture that embraces violent spectacle - real and imagined - as a commercial product. Fifty-one years after the publication of Ed Ruscha's iconic artist book, Twentysix Gasoline Stations, Another Twenty-Six Gas Stations examines how the American Identity has shifted from the idyllic media messages and car culture of the 1950s and 60s to the coarse post 9/11 age we occupy today. Another Twenty-Six Gas Stations is the debut book by photo-artist Gregory Eddi Jones. It was published by In the In-Between: Journal of Digital Imaging Artists in October 2014.</p>

<p>Product Description      Primal Sight, a collection of works by 146 artists, and essays by David Campany and Gregory Eddi Jones, surveys the state of contemporary black-and-white photography. The project, curated by Efrem Zelony-Mindell, includes the works of intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and intersectional artists, each questioning the perceived order of things. These interrogations center on issues of race, gender, philosophy, and praxis, subverting traditional notions of black-and-white imagery into something feral and queered, possessed of previously unimagined possibilities. These works embody a mastery of what is strengthened or weakened by the light inside them. Beyond our individual differences, there exist universal commonalities in the ways humans try to make sense of the world; as our fluency with visual vocabulary changes, these images change accordingly. Primal Sight has been featured as a collected portfolio of 25 works in DEAR DAVE, Magazine as well as a 26 artist online group show at In the In-Between.      About the Author      Efrem Zelony-Mindell (they/them) is a curator, writer, and artist.
