This special Thursday Night Photobook Throwdown features a virtual photobook share with accomplished artists Melissa Catanese and Ed Panar, who also run the Pittsburg-based photobook store and art space, Spaces Corners. Ed Panar is looking forward to talking about his book, Winter Nights, Walking, in the dead of summer — should cool things off a little. Melissa Catanese will share about her acclaimed photobook, The Lottery, in which she seamlessly combines her own recent photographs with anonymous vernacular photos, press images, and NASA archival imagery to evoke the mob mentality and tribalism of Shirley Jackson's short story “The Lottery” as well as the cosmic indeterminacy at the heart of our unfolding present. As party of the share, we’ll get a chance to ask the artists some questions about their work and making photobooks.

And still bring your new favorite photobooks to share - we want to see your latest picks!
