This richly illustrated book considers the dazzling oeuvre of choreographer and dancer Marlene Monteiro Freitas. In line with her creative methodology, Alexandra Balona unfolds an “atlas of affects” through five emblematic dance pieces that reveal the intensity, humor, and humanity of one of today’s most radical choreographic voices.
Invited to present an exhibition at the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu has developed an innovative approach to museum space, challenging hierarchy, permanence, and fixed meanings. With in-depth essays and a rich selection of illustrations, this catalog retraces that exhibition and explores the themes and concerns that have long characterized the artist’s practice.
Invitata a concepire una mostra alla Galleria Borghese, l’artista keniota-americana Wangechi Mutu ha sviluppato un approccio innovativo allo spazio museale, confrontandosi con le gerarchie, la permanenze e le sedimentazioni del contesto.

A visual notebook of the screenshots taken by Yngve Holen over the past five years or so, 6G—the anticipated next phase of network technology—is a peculiarly sized artist’s book, a glossy non-linear agglomeration that reflects the intersections of production, life, and digital debris.
Conceived as a visual résumé, the book provides a comprehensive overview of Posenenske’s solo exhibitions and a record of her numerous group shows. Featuring an essay by curator Erlend Hammer on the role of documentary photographs in the circulation of works of art, it was published in conjunction with the eponymous show at the Haugar Art Museum in Tønsberg.

Pavilion by multimedia artist Samson Young explores the legacy of the film THINK, created by Charles and Ray Eames for the IBM Pavilion at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. At the dawn of the computer age, THINK pictured computers as models of how the human mind both receives and processes information, immersing audiences in a dynamic stream of images, sounds, and ideas. Taking as a point of departure THINK’s multiscreen setup and its distinctive orchestration of audio-visual rhythm, Pavilion revisits this early precursor to database cinema and reflects upon the optimism and apprehension that shaped its cultural context, at a time when generative AI has now exponentially increased the scale and speed of data patterning. Pavilion integrates filmed and archival material, and uses generative AI to composite footage iteratively. It features new choral compositions created by the artist for the occasion and performed by members of the Taipei Male Choir, presented in a multi-channel soundscape designed by Hsieh Hsien Te at the Taiwan Sound Lab.
This catalogue is published to coincide with the Pavilion exhibition, part of the NTCAM COMMISSION, a biennial commissioning program organized by the New Taipei City Art Museum. Each edition sees an internationally recognized artist or collective being invited to create new works specifically for one of the museum’s most challenging exhibition spaces.
Bringing together new essays by curator Hsieh Feng-rong and architect-scholar Eric Schuldenfrei, author of the monograph The Films of Charles and Ray Eames, the volume also includes two interviews conducted by curator Katherine C. M. Adams. Focusing on the artist’s approach to chance operation and computation, these conversations offer further insight into the work.
