Odyssey | Warriors Come Home: Combat Veterans Photograph Life After War (2020)
$35.00 – $45.00Through photography, combat veterans explore their journey back from war. Thirty-seven veterans participated in The Odyssey Workshops, a year long collaborative photography project led by artist Brendan Bannon and Marine Scout/Sniper Julian Chinana. This book explores the endless journey home from war in images that reveal the veterans’ challenges and victories over circumstances.
Preview“There is anguish here, and joy, resilience, pain and courage, and experimentation of all sorts with form in the pursuit of discoveries that might make lives better, or at least more vividly real. Here we witness an odyssey of self-introspection, of battles fought and those still being fought. And they resonate.”
~Fred Ritchin, Dean Emeritus, International Center of Photography
“This is one of the great photo books about the experience of war, one like no other. Every contributor to Odyssey|Warriors Come Home has been there, on the ground. They all came back, bearing memories and deep feelings. These photographs tell us what words could not. They tell us what it was like to have been the warrior, the care-giver, and the person back home when there are no words to express what happened.”

Ruins in Reverse: Time and Progress in Contemporary Art (1999)
$15.00This is special issue of the CEPA Journal that documents the exhibition Ruins in Reverse: Time and Progress in Contemporary Art (September 18, 1998-March 19, 1999). The title for this exhibition is taken from Robert Smithson’s 1967 work, A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey, in which he describes the suburbs of Passaic as “ruins in reverse. . . This is the opposite of the ‘romantic ruin’ because the buildings don’t fall into ruin after they are built but rather rise into ruin before they are built.” The experience of the ruin suggests a particular mental orientation, a sense of lost promise combined, perhaps, with a desire to redeem that promise in the future. It is a contemplative mode of thought that might lead to nostalgia and resignation or to renewed activism as the past is overlaid with, and tested against, the present. This exhibition begins then with the question of allegory in art, and with allegory as a prototypically aesthetic form of signification.
