Presentation of Magic Hour Press with Jordan Weitzman & of “Portraits and Places” by Steve Turtell from Palermo Publishing who will be in conversation with John Douglas Millar.

Steve Turtell is an American writer and poet. In 2024, Portraits and Places was published by Palermo Publishing. The book brings together Turtell’s writing with photographs by Peter Hujar, tracing an intimate space where biography, friendship, and the lyrical cityscape of New York in the 1970s converge.

John Douglas Millar is a writer based in London. He is currently working on a biography of the American photographer Peter Hujar to be published by Fitzcarraldo Editions in the UK and Liveright/Norton in the U.S (Both 2029). With Gary Schneider he co-curated Peter Hujar: Eyes Open in the Dark at Raven Row Gallery, London, which opened in January 2025. The exhibition will travel to the Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn, Germany, in February 2026.

Palermo Publishing is an independent publishing house working between Italy and New York, approaching publishing as a practice of proximity and dialogue through close collaboration with artists, writers, and archives.

Magic Hour Press is an independent publisher based in Montreal and New York founded by artist Jordan Weitzman in 2021.
