"Luis González Palma’s universe is made up of a constellation of themes orbiting around his work , constantly going to and fro. Identity and memory, –the axes of his first works- are tackled using portraits with constant echoes of religious and baroque painting . . . [Palma's] work is impregnated with a symphony of formal solutions which are, in his own words, 'an attempt to give body to ghosts that govern personal relationships, religious and political hierarchies found in life'. " - Alejandro Castellote, Curator

Dreams connect the space between real and surreal. They derive from fragments of our stream of consciousness. Our life’s memories, our desires, and our fears reshuffle and play-back in visions that may appear obscured by double-vision, or be crystalized by a hyper-real clarity. Often, they exist with the support of an uncanny logic or disjointed symbolism. Whether hopeful or menacing, dreams pull on the strings of our most raw and primal emotions.

Carry Me Ohio (monograph) | Publisher: Sturm & Drang | Run: 600 copies
The first volume of The Invisible Yoke, Carry Me Ohio, by Matt Eich hit the presses of the Swiss publisher, Sturm & Drang this September (2016). Carry Me Ohio is the first of three small-run volumes the notable publisher and emerging photographer have committed to producing together. In the words of Sturm & Drang :
Matt's eight year investigation into family, poverty and the ravaged beauty of the Ohio hinterlands will be published . . . just in time for an election that talks much about the people left behind without offering much in terms of a strategy how to help them. Eich's honest look gives those people a face and tells the story from their vantage point.
Copies of the book will be available at jdc Fine Art, from Sturm & Drang, and with select fine booksellers beginning this October.

Kilimanjaro: The Last Glacier
Work in progress by Ian van Coller
Climate change has become a common buzz-word, but the layman understanding of it is both rudimentary and intangible. Ian van Coller intends to bridge the gap between art and science and transform this issue into a form we can grasp- literally. Van Coller has received funding from the Montana State University for an artist's book and photo-project on the subject- Kilimanjaro: the Last Glacier. This August (2016) van Coller will join a team of scientists and researchers funded by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the National Geodetic Survey who are working to record as much significant data from the ice-sheets as possible. This project is both a reflection on climate change and the study of deep time.
