The latest edition of Jack Pierson's photobook-cum-artist's book featuring work from some of Pierson's favorite contemporary artists The fifth volume in Jack Pierson’s celebrated Tomorrow’s Man artist’s book series mixes imagery from all spectrums of the visual landscape into a single meditation on the world around us. Combining archival material together with contributions by emerging and established artists, Tomorrow's Man 5 continues on where the earlier volumes left off. In this edition, the diverse body of art includes Dietmar Busse's enigmatic, almost occult drawings on photography, David Dupuis' delicate, colorful abstractions and Richard Tinkler's bright geometric abstractions, as well as work by Janet Stein, David Carrino, Jeff Davis, Clement Schneider, Paul Stuttman and Jordan Wolfson (now infamous for his shocking work at the 2017 Whitney Biennial Real Violence) is included alongside Pierson's own images.

Taxonomies of Orientalism in art, from Piotr Uklanski Celebrated Polish-born artist Piotr Uklanski (born 1968) established himself in the mid-1990s with a diverse body of work examining the ever-changing relationship between identity, history and culture. Continuing this investigation, Uklanski’s new book, Ottomania, traces the phenomenon of Orientalist portraiture over the past 500 years. This book contains over 200 paintings, drawings, prints and photography—images of men in turbans, theatrically embellished masculine dress, richly decorated fabrics, the codification of facial hair and the romantic settings of Ottoman or Persian court life—from Rembrandt, Zurbarán, Liotard, Tiepolo, Rubens, Delacroix, Schiele, Matisse, Picasso, de Chirico, Dalí, Balthus and Leonor Fini. Uklanski orders the works roughly by theme, demonstrating how Western artists exploited key Orientalist signifiers, in dress, setting and pose, in order to portray their sitters—men, women and children—as worldly, romantic and in other ways exotic.
