ASMR4

Very Excited to announce the launch of ASMR4! 

ASMR4 is a small-run conversation. A conversation between 4 photographers in the form of a book. 16 page signatures. 16 page late night conversations at a bar. The first volume of this experiment is a sequence taken from Adam Putnam’s film project Reclaimed Empire (Deep Edit) 2008-2016, an ongoing series comprised of over 80 fragments and short video works. The title, initially an overt nod to Warhol’s Empire, speaks less about homage, and more to the notion of a constant return to repeated subject matter - a gaze that never leaves, that stares un-blinkingly – mechanically - at the same subject. “This was my Empire, comprised of whatever was on hand in my studio, sculptural fragments, broken mirrors, architectural models and other detritus…”

ASMR4 is co-edited by Katie Murray, Adam Putnam, Vicky Sambunaris and Dan Torop.

New York friends, please join us for the launch of ASMR4 vol. 1, Adam Putnam’s Reclaimed Empire, at Spoonbill Studios, 99 Montrose Avenue, Brooklyn, Sunday, September 10, 7PM.
