DREW PETTIFER ISBN: 978-1-7640869-2-9 ‘I know a place’ is the fifth instalment in Drew Pettifer’s ongoing publishing project of monographic works centred on the negotiated queer male gaze. For this volume, Pettifer invited curator and art historian Michael Gentle to assist in editing the book and to contribute an essay. Gentle writes: ‘…..Pettifer’s work leans into the uneasiness of “place” as a generative force in identity formation. Rather than offering the queer body as icon or emblem, his images open it as a porous site where intimacy, memory, and desire…. → More details

KONRAD WINKLER ISBN: 978-0-6456947-2-7 ‘N.T. 74 –77’ is a memoir: a time capsule of the Northern Territory fifty years ago, seen through the lens of Melbourne photographer Konrad Winkler. There are 89 images and 16 pages of stories of a free and easy world; of firstly teaching in the desert at Areyonga/Utju, a warm and welcoming Aboriginal community and then living in Darwin in the aftermath of Cyclone Tracy, when home was the office, and the office —behind the photocopier was a bedroom of sorts.     KONRAD WINKLER N.T….. → More details

DAVID WADELTON ISBN: 978-0-6456947-7-2 ‘Front Yard’ is the third book in David Wadelton’s tender investigations into Australian suburbia and is once again designed by Yanni Florence. The focus this time is on front gardens and yards from Melbourne and some parts of regional Victoria: from highly individual and often highly eccentric elaborate presentations displaying the hard work and particular aesthetic tastes of their creators to the sometimes somewhat melancholy front gardens and yards where remnants of former owners’ efforts have fallen into neglect or disrepair. All captured with David’s affectionate…. → More details

JANINA GREEN ISBN: 978-0-6456947-4-1 Reproduction, in all its multiple and variegated meanings –whether of life or genderor images –has been at the heart of Janina Green’s practice for over 40 years.Here, old and new works collide and converse –many of them reconfigured, reimagined, rephotographed, slashed, atomised, painted over and revived –to make for a playful and intoxicating cascade of imagery. The images are accompanied by a personal and meditative text from Pippa Milne.     Janina Green: Reproduction Published by M.33, Melbourne, 2024 Edit: Helen Frajman Book design: Yanni Florence…. → More details

PETER MILNE ISBN:  978-0-6456947-5-8 ‘Death of an Idea’ consists of a selection of the postcard sized photo collages shown earlier this year at Peter Milne’s acclaimed exhibition at One Star Gallery. Created by the artist initially as a warm up exercise for a larger project, each work is made with a combination of found material, recycled images from Milne’s own archive and a line of text cut out from the seminal, but now dated, art historic text ‘Civilization’ by Kenneth Clark. The result is surreal and unnerving, but as always with…. → More details

BY KYLE ARCHIE KNIGHT ISBN:   978-0-6456947-6-5 ‘Cruising for a Bruising’ is a camp love letter to the Australian Suburbs. Growing up queer in outer-metropolitan Naarm (Melbourne), Kyle Archie Knight found themselves drawn to explore the streets of their family neighbourhood. Their search for moments that capture the essence of suburbia results in a celebration of the surreal and the mundane, the humorous and the humdrum. Knight delves into family archives and reconnects with past memories of estrangement, finding humour and delight in what was once alienating and suffocating.     Kyle…. → More details

TAMMY LAW ISBN: 978-0-6456947-0-3 ‘Cancelled & Removed’ explores the stories of those affected by forced migration from Australia.
