​Hardcover, Dust Jacket: ISBN #9780464427483
Editors: James Smith, Emily Artinian, Emily Manko, Carol Maurer

Seven Million Acres / Pride of Place documents and expands upon the 2019 exhibition of the same name at Street Road Artists Space, a participatory project which centers Cochranville, Pennsylvania and is a meditation on ways to re-understand regionalism. Residents of an area covering seven million acres, stretching from Philadelphia to Baltimore, and Harrisburg, PA and points in between have submitted photographs and meditations upon objects which have pride of place for them, together forming a rich mapping of the material culture of a region, and in turn presenting a way to reconsider how we think about place. With an introduction by Street Road director Emily Artinian.

Twentysix Wawa Stores
​by Eric Weeks

Softcover: ISBN #978-1-7372755-1-0
Weeks' Twentysix Wawa Stores, first exhibited at Street Road in 2022, is a book and film project that examines the Pennsylvania-based convenience store and gas purveyor Wawa. A companion book to the film, the Twentysix Wawa Stores publication is a facsimile of the well known Twentysix Gasoline Stations by Ed Ruscha. The film was shot during the Covid-19 pandemic, and documents a particular time in the history of the United States, when masks were necessary to enter stores, and oftentimes two trips were required to retrieve the forgotten mask left in the car.

The Great Basin!
by Eric Weeks
2023, 6.375x4.25cm, 78 pages
Softcover: ISBN #978-1-737275527
​​The Great Basin! Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Desert is a film, book and print project that addresses climate change, the severe drought in the Western United States, gun culture, the military’s use of the basin and range of Nevada for atomic testing, cultural stereotypes, my own personal history, and my experiences in this mostly remote area. In the 15 minute short film I am creating complex collages of my still and motion captures made in Nevada with appropriated short clips from Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, recent weather footage, The Lone Ranger, as well as John Wayne’s and other historic films, cartoons, and many other cultural artifacts, in order to speak to the place and its significance.

This book component of The Great Basin! Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Desert project references Pocket Western Pulp Fiction books from the 1940s and 1950s, appropriating their design. The inside pages collage stills and text derived from the film. The book also includes the short story “And You Come Across The Basin Alone”, that I have written under a nom de plume.
