Series
A critical spatial practice is a means of rethinking one’s modes of action and codes of conduct. Edited by architects Nikolaus Hirsch and Markus Miessen, this series reinvents its internal structure according to the content of each volume: a toolbox that ranges from single-authored essays to conversations, manifestos, fiction, investigative journalism, historical studies, and artistic interventions, each accompanied by an artist contribution. The series follows the tradition of the discipline of architecture using the publication format as a testing ground for ideas.
Critical Spatial Practice
Founded in 2003 by Isabelle Graw and Daniel Birnbaum, Institut für Kunstkritik is a program that examines art criticism and connected disciplines. As well as single-authored books, this series comprises volumes based on symposia and lecture series, bringing together contributions by art historians, critics, artists, and writers. The goal of the series is to provide insights into current debates on the shifting relationship among criticism, art, and the market.
Institut für Kunstkritik
imagine/otherwise presents critical biographies of underrepresented queer, non-binary, or female-identifying artists. Edited by Dr. Omar Kholeif and presented in collaboration with artPost21, the series emphasizes the concept of “female worlding” with books that serve as field guides into previously unexplored, overlooked, or inaccessible artistic lives. The overall proposition of the series (to “imagine” a world “otherwise”) stems from the desire to find a different way of writing and reading about art. Can art be examined unreservedly, unburdened of the limits imposed by the dominant hand of hegemony? Current editorial advisors for the series include Skye Arundhati Thomas, Zoe Butt, Carla Chammas, Alison Hearst, Sarah Perks and Sofia Victorino.
Imagine Otherwise
The Solution Series is a steadily growing collection of proposals related to nation-specific issues as well as contemporary borderless crises. Edited by writer Ingo Niermann, the series invites original and compact ideas from writers, artists, and designers familiar with the issues at hand. These solutions—which take the form of speculative essays, fiction, artistic interventions, design, or a combination thereof—are as imaginative as they are provocative, as unexpected as they are uncannily familiar.
Solution Series
This series stems from a discontent with the indictment of identity politics as antithetical to “real” politics. The political, in this conception, is aligned with the need to transcend markers of identity that are said to hinder class solidarity and the potential for coalition building. Yet appeals to move beyond identity tend to leave unexamined the gender and racial schemas that undergird the notion of universalism, hence overlooking—and refracting—legacies of violence and oppression. On the Antipolitical aims to confront capitalist hegemony but does not aspire toward an abstract polity. Challenging the persistence of colonial formations in contemporary theory, the series argues that discussions of identity do not subtract or divert from political struggle, but rather add to it. The series is edited by Ana Teixeira Pinto.
On the Antipolitical
Each book in the series takes the work of a single artist as its point of departure, spiraling outward to create an expansive and carefully edited ecosystem of ideas and voices. Each volume includes newly commissioned writing as well a selection of perspectives, images, and references related to the year-long research seasons at CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts.
A Series of Open Questions
This series of paperback readers collects essays and interviews from the orbit of the monthly art publication edited by Julieta Aranda, Brian Kuan Wood, and Anton Vidokle. Focusing on anthologies and single-authored books that further develop the journal’s investigation of cultural, political, and structural paradigms, the series aims to spotlight the most original voices in contemporary art and theory. Liam Gillick created the original cover design.
e-flux journal
THE INCIDENTS is a book series based on events at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. The series is edited by Ken Stewart and Marielle Suba and designed by ELLA.
The Incidents
The EP series fluidly moves between art, design, and architecture, and introduces the notion of the “extended play” into publishing, with thematically edited pocket books as median between popular magazines (“single play”) and academic journals (“long play”).
EP
From an economic perspective, art has traditionally been regarded as an instrument: artists and art are seen as an investment or factor of production that can be exchanged for something else. This publication series begins by exploring the intentional in art rather than the instrumental. How can we account for art without reducing it to its components or effects? Without first instrumentally embedding it in the traditional conversations, cultures, and habits of the art world?
Experiments in Art and Capitalism
Edited by culinary historian Charlotte Birnbaum, On the Table is a series of publications exploring the encounter between food and art.
On the Table
Montana is a propositional series exploring the adjacencies of the literary and the visual, the poetic and the political. Deeply invested in the production of a radical present and future, the books of Montana form an ecology of thought that is connected in spirit, practice, and language, yet distinct and diverse, spanning geographies and time. Edited by Leah Whitman-Salkin.
Montana
Edited by Anthony Downey, Research/Practice focuses on artistic research and how it contributes to the formation of experimental knowledge systems. Drawing on preliminary material such as diaries, notebooks, audiovisual content, digital and social media, informal communications, and abandoned drafts, the series examines the interdisciplinary research methods that artists employ in their practices. Each volume endeavors to ask: In their often speculative and yet purposeful approach to generating research, what forms of knowledge do artists produce?
Research/Practice
Visual culture is a cross-disciplinary site of encounter for divergent perspectives, including competing attitudes toward the ethical status and ideological functioning of the visual itself. Each volume in this series investigates a single pertinent topic: two colleagues with shared interests—and differing points of view—examine their chosen subject in a particularized and probing manner. Within the format—two essays and a conversation—contents unfold in their own way with respect to their positions, polemics, and poetics. The series is edited by Jorella Andrews, professor in the Department of Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths, University of London.
Visual Cultures as…
The Contemporary Condition offers a sustained inquiry into contemporaneity as a defining condition of our historical present. Departing from the assumption that the relationship between artistic practice and sociopolitical reality is radically changing, the series explores planetarity, the aesthetics of eco-systemic changes, and how the networked image can be understood as a relational assemblage to address the politics of infrastructure and wider ecologies. Series edited by Geoff Cox and Jacob Lund.
The Contemporary Condition
Initiated by the Cultures of the Curatorial graduate program at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, this series assesses the curatorial turn in contemporary cultural practice and discourse. The contributing authors, from a variety of disciplines and professional backgrounds, consider recent developments within the curatorial field, allow for self-reflexive analysis, and explore the conditions—disciplinary, institutional, economic, political, and regional—under which art and culture become public.
Cultures of the Curatorial
The Sandberg Instituut at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam, offers master programs in fields of art and design. Working to align the institute with urgent contemporary topics, director Jurgen Bey has introduced a series of one-off, two-year master programs. The Sandberg Series is a record of these temporary programs as well as a platform for critical reflection on this educational model. Each volume delves into the insights and outcomes of the program it covers and provides space for engagement with a broader public.
Sandberg Series
Thoughts on Curating presents a series of single-essay publications by some of the world's leading voices in curatorial practice and theory today. Edited by Steven Henry Madoff, founder of the master's program in Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts, New York.
Thoughts on Curating
Fogo Island Arts’ monographic publication series accompanies major solo exhibitions and commissions presented at the Fogo Island Gallery. The volumes provide extended consideration of an artist’s work in formats including critical essays, interviews, experimental writing and fiction. Combined with installation views, process documentation and artist contributions, FIA publications serve as a record of the artist’s time on Fogo Island and their creative contributions that can be disseminated internationally.
Fogo Island Arts
This series stems from the research-driven program of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Each comprehensive volume is edited by members of the university and comprises essays and artworks in an area of research related to art theory, cultural studies, or art history. The discussions in each volume represent those currently taking place in the university and elsewhere in academia and contemporary art. International conferences and research projects organized at the academy serve as the point of departure for the individual volumes.
Publication Series of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
This series of pocket-size books hones the format of the monograph and the critical essay. The black volumes showcase projects by artists such as Isa Genkzen, Cerith Wyn Evans, and Tue Greenfort, contextualizing them through the writings of noted international critics and curators. The white volumes contain essays by prominent critics and curators such as Nicolas Bourriaud, Daniel Birnbaum, and Jean-Yves Leloup on urgent theoretical issues of the day.

The Jahresring is an annual publication series—a “meeting point for creative and critical forces,” as its inaugural issue stated in 1954—one of the longest running in Germany for contemporary art and literature. In 1989, Brigitte Oetker became the series editor and revamped the conceptual orientation of the content. Each year, alternating guest editors—curators, artists, scientists—are invited to reflect on current trends and issues in art and society.
Jahresring
Bulletins of The Serving Library is a composite printed/electronic publication published by Dexter Sinister.

BOOK LAUNCH—LONDON

Fusion!

A conversation between Alex Coles and Danalogue to celebrate the launch of the book Fusion! From Alice Coltrane to Moor Mother.

Followed by a live performance featuring Danalogue and Robyn’s Rocket, and a DJ set with the Vinyl Bunnies.

From music writer Alex Coles, Fusion! From Alice Coltrane to Moor Mother traces the origins and legacy of blended musical genres by focusing on twelve dynamic collaborations. From Alice Coltrane working with Carlos Santana in 1974 to Moor Mother sharing the mic with Wolf Weston in 2022, the collaborations-cum-chapters reveal how musicians pursue fusion as a process.

With sonic fusion always premised on cultural fusion, each of the collaborations find musicians using the mixing of genres to explore fusions of generations, eras, philosophies, sensibilities, idioms, histories, and even continents. When the musicians hail from contrasting musical genres their collaboration leads to a dynamic tension, typified by free jazz trumpeter Don Cherry recording with Lou Reed, Kendrick Lamar cutting tracks with saxophonist Kamasi Washington, Miles Davis playing with electric guitarist John McLaughlin and synth player Danalogue joining Shabaka Hutchings and Max Hallett to form the Comet is Coming.

Fusion! pushes the music of overlooked musicians—such as post-punk singer and saxophone player Lora Logic—to the fore while emphasizing overlooked aspects of the oeuvres of better-known figures such as Herbie Hancock, Joni Mitchell, Neneh Cherry and FourTet. To characterize their unique approach to fusion, each of the examples Coles explores are driven by a dynamic sonic principle coined by the musicians themselves.

BOOK LAUNCH—EDINBURGH

Stinkhorn

Join author Siôn Parkinson for a special launch of Stinkhorn.

How Nature’s Most Foul-Smelling Mushroom Can Change the Way We Listen

The stinkhorn mushroom is one of the weirdest wonders of the fungal world, certainly the smelliest. Ever since it was described by a Dutch doctor in a sixteenth-century pamphlet, the stinkhorn has been reported to emit odors resembling damp earth, dung, rotting cheese, decaying flesh, and even semen. It also happens to look like a phallus, bursting out of a subterranean egg to poke above the ground, where it lures insects towards its slimy, fetid cap. In Stinkhorn, artist, musician, and writer Siôn Parkinson asks: What can the pervasive stench of this mushroom and the droning noise of the flies compelled towards it reveal about how sounds and smells are combined in the imagination?

A heady mix of natural history, science writing, musicology, philosophy of the senses, and illness memoir, Parkinson uses examples of so-called bad smells to argue for a theory of Stink as a kind of “smelling sound.” Alongside images and insights from the author’s search for stinkhorn fungi in nature, the book expands upon the philosophy of listening to consider the role of the nose and the “nasal imaginary” in how we make sense of sound.

In this treatise on malodors and how they can transform the conditions for listening, Parkinson considers John Cage’s silent fungal forays, Brian Eno’s compositions with perfumes, the hum note of a vibrating bell, the “eggy” odor of space, and the author’s own hallucinated stench as the result of an epileptic seizure. What links these disparate ideas and sensory experiences can be found in a single encounter with a ripe stinkhorn mushroom.

Monday 4 November, 7.30pm. Doors open 7pm

Adversarially Evolved Hallucinations

Trevor Paglen will be in conversation with Anthony Downey about the recently published book Adversarially Evolved Hallucinations.

How machine learning and computer vision generate images.

Although often considered to be a fault or a glitch in the system, the event of hallucination is central to the models of image production generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Through mining the latent space of computer vision, Trevor Paglen’s series Adversarially Evolved Hallucination (2017-ongoing) reveals this phantasmal and hallucinatory domain. In the conversation included in this volume, he discusses how we can think from within these opaque structures and, in turn, questions the frequently inflated claims made on behalf of automated image-production systems. In an accompanying essay, Anthony Downey explores the uncanny realm of algorithmically induced images and proposes that AI, through its generative modelling of the world, invariably estranges us from the present and the future.

Made possible by support from the City Lights Foundation.

Navigation Beyond Vision

For Farocki, the computer-animated, navigable images that constitute the twenty-first century’s “ruling class of images” call for new tools of analysis, prompting him to ask: How does the shift from montage to navigation alter the way images—and art—operate as models of political action and modes of political intervention?

Three Cases of Value Reflection
Ponge, Whitten, Banksy

In response to recent discussions about the value assigned to artworks, art critic and theorist Isabelle Graw introduces the term “value reflection.” Rather than an objective quality, value reflection is the potential for the specific artistic labor expended for artworks to be found in them. This book focuses on the artistic production of writer Francis Ponge and artists Jack Whitten and Banksy, and engages with the different types of value reflection detected in their work.
