Hello Friends ✌🏼 This Thursday, @mastbooks We are very excited to launch our second deep dive with Nick Relph, a new artist book entitled MONSTERS. (We’ll also have the very last copies of our previous book with Nick, which will then be out of print) Pre-Echo Press is pleased to announce Nick Relph's MONSTERS co-published with Mast Books. In connection with the launch of this publication there will be a presentation of prints from Relph's Seeing Plastic series. August 18 - September 26, 2022 OPENING NIGHT AND BOOK RELEASE AUGUST 18, 6-8 PM MONSTERS serves as a tangential addendum to Relph's previous book Eclipse Body & Soul Syntax. Using the same scanning process, Relph gathered 1000 images of payphone enclosures in New York and Los Angeles. In contrast to Eclipse Body & Soul Syntax the scans in MONSTERS are more uniform, upset though they are by digital artifacts and surface interruptions: paper, stickers, paint, rust, rainwater, a hologram, reflective vinyl, screws, ketchup, plants, bird shit, electrical cable. Relph and designer Joseph Gilmore assembled a selection of 452 images, sequentially beginning on the front cover and ending on the back. The page numbers are accompanied by a second set of numbers which correspond to an individuated xerox copy of each image.
