S_U_N_ is a publisher featuring a range of books, prints and multiples with a focus on photography based works. S_U_N_ works directly with artists to create works that expand the field of images as printed objects in editions large and small.

From this first season of titles from S_U_N_ featured are Aaron McElroy’s Devil May Care, which continues to explore themes of desire and voyeurism of his other titles but in greater depth and in a larger format.  He presents us series of cropped body parts, gestures, clothes and intimate artifacts that suggest a streams of ideas allowing the viewer to create their own narrative.  

In Forest Hills Bill Sullivan presents a book that follows the 20th century history of tennis and art, confusing and conflating their two stories in order to create a new kind of history. Once the center of tennis in America Forest Hills is now an almost forgotten world, a lost civilization of the sport. Bill Sullivan's book uses photography and image making to tell the story of it's rise and fall parallelling it's history with that of art and design. 

Finally Charles Johnstone’s deftly designed book The Girl in the Fifth Floor Walk-Up explores the allure of a pulp fiction icon, “The Blonde” using a Raymond Chandler excerpt from Farewell My Lovely and nineteen-forties design elements to set the tone "It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window. She was wearing street clothes that looked black and white, and a hat to match and she was a little haughty, but not too much. Whatever you needed, wherever you happened to be-she had it." The book mirrors his previous self-published title Libby based on his muse and long time collaborator.
