Uneven Press

'In Malay culture there are numerous cultural obligations that dictate how children engage with their parents, and over time, things remain unsaid out of respect and cultural normalcies. Like many familial relationships, there are topics between Shuhana and I that fall outside the bounds of discussion, and while I have come to accept that this is something that may stay between us forever, I am interested in how we can evolve our relationship and better understand each other as individuals.' Nur Aishah Abdullah Farid Kenton's series 'Ochid' is displayed at Town Hall Gallery in Hawthorn as part of 'Familial', a group exhibition curated by Centre for Contemporary Photography. Aishah's work, a series made with her mother over eight years in Kuala Lumpur, examines how the act of collaborative practice can evoke greater meaning for the artist and her work than images alone can. The exhibition includes photographic prints, family archival images, as well as images printed on fabric and stitched on to traditional Malay batik. Having moved to Australia when she was a teenager (to study photography), Aishah's work represents the artist's early growth from adolescence to adulthood, using photography to investigate and navigate her family's matriarchal and intergenerational relationships, as well to explore the meaning of home and belonging. Aishah is a dear friend of Uneven Press and we are delighted to have printed some of her works for past exhibitions. We think this work may indeed be a great book one day soon! Tomorrow, Friday 24 April, is your last chance to see the exhibition in person in Melbourne, as the gallery is closed on Saturday for ANZAC Day.

NEW BOOK 📚 Very excited to announce the release of our newest photobook, Gasolina by William Vallender @uncertain___ Copies will be available this week at the Tokyo Art Book Fair, or can be ordered online via our website! William Vallender’s photographs in «Gasolina» trace landscapes shaped by oil, industry and the residue of colonial histories. Attentive to the quiet tensions beneath the everyday, these images map the Americas through highways, courtyards and crossroads, where corporate emblems and warning signs sit alongside children, birds and passing strangers. Under a muted, unsettling light, Vallender’s scenes offer a lucid, unsentimental record of daily existence bounded by territory and power. First edition, 2025 Softcover with front & back fold-out 210 x 215mm, 84 pages

NEW RELEASE 📣 We are delighted to announce the first of our three new publications launching this month — Dissenting Snows by Dean Sewell @dean_sewell «Dissenting Snows» presents a series of photographs taken by Dean Sewell in Moscow in 1996-97, during the turbulent years following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Shot by Sewell between freelance photojournalism assignments, the films were shelved and left undeveloped until 2022. Collected and brought to print for the first time, these images reveal the city at a tense, transitional threshold, with everyday life suspended between the monumental past and the uncertain future, between public and private collapse. Subtle and evocative, Sewell’s photographs emerge as a significant record of an era, drawing attention to the shifting legacies of memory and history. First edition, 2025 Swiss binding, exposed spine & fold-out cover 200 x 290mm, 96 pages Preorders available now via our website for shipping in early January 2026! 📪 We will also have copies available later this week at our Tokyo Art Book Fair booth 📚📚

Join us tomorrow afternoon at China Heights for the launch of our new book ‘Which Way Home’ by @maxberry 📚🎉 The launch will start at 2pm and have an artist Q&A. See you there!

From the beautiful second edition photobook of ‘Looking West’ by Laurence Watts @laurencewattsphoto Available through our online store — “Looking West, by Laurence Watts, is a photographic work that examines performative masculinity in Australian Rodeo subculture and the iconography of the Cowboy. It aims to destabilise notions of masculine identity by revealing its construction through social performance. The series is underpinned by a semi-narrative throughline of ‘searching for the cowboy’. This search finds that long after the West has been won, and the Frontier closed, the Cowboy exists as a set of visual cultural ideals through which masculinity is articulated in Rodeo sub-culture, utilising the sartorial codes of the Western hat, boots, shirt and belt buckle.” Second Expanded Edition Softcover with slipcase 27.6 x 23 cm, 72 pages

🌲 NEW BOOK 🏡 We are very excited to announce our newest publication — Drawings by Max Berry @maxberry Which Way Home assembles a collection of drawings by oil painter Max Berry. Playful yet pensive, Berry’s meandering, sinuous lines follow a dream-logic of their own. Despite—or rather owing to—these bare lines and rough, minimal shadings, the curious essence of ordinary objects, figures and landscapes emerges with extraordinary life and depth. Although the drawings serve ultimately as sketches in Berry’s painting process, they form their own lucid continuum, a diary which reveals a distinct way of seeing and remembering: spontaneous, sensitive and full of quiet affection. First edition, 2024 Softcover with front & back gatefold Papers: Fedrigoni Terracotta 360gsm & Gesso 120gsm @fedrigoni.paper @spicersaus 21.5 x 14 cm, 96 pages Available now on our website (and for our Melbourne friends - very soon at the Same Page book fair 📚)!
