Mahmoud M Al-Shaer – I Am Still Alive: Dispatches from Gaza


In 'I Am Still Alive: Dispatches from Gaza', Palestinian poet and cultural worker Mahmoud M Al-Shaer documents life during the ongoing war in Gaza with breathtaking clarity and devastating intimacy. Composed as a series of dispatches written since January 11, 2024, the author uses his voice to record his struggle to hold onto words in resistance to erasure and whilst bearing witness to unbearable violence. These texts offer not just a relentless chronicle of destruction, but a vital affirmation of presence, relation, and survival amidst the unspeakable catastrophes unfolding in Gaza.

Slow Technology Reader

This third volume of a series by Carolyn F. Strauss, Slow Research Lab’s director, looks at what technology and (digital) culture can mean from a Slow perspective. Contributors reimagine technology through feminist, queer, indigenous, and ecological practices. The collected essays explore "soft tech" and human systems, challenging Western technological narratives while drawing inspiration from ancient and indigenous knowledge. Contributors including Silvia Federici, Chus Martinez, and Kader Attia examine how alternative approaches to technology could create more equitable, sustainable futures. Through diverse voices, the anthology proposes a slower, more conscious relationship with technology that aligns with natural systems and human potential.

Off-Register: Publishing Experiments by Women Artists in Latin America, 1960-1990

Mela Dávila Freire

The publication explores the creative practices of Latin American women artists who, between 1960 and 1990, channeled their artistic energy into printed and serialized media. This period traces the rise and evolution of the conceptual art movement, which emerged around 1960 and, depending on the region, extended into the late 1980s. During these decades, artists’ books and other forms of printed matter became part of a growing repertoire of new artistic formats - alongside installation, video, and performance - that expanded the boundaries of traditional art forms and opened new possibilities for artistic expression. The book was released in October 2023 to accompany the exhibition of the same name at the Center for Book Arts in New York.

Valmueslekten / Papaver

Marit Arnekleiv / Eivind Hofstad Evjemo / Hans-Jørgen Wallin Weihe / Marte Meling Enoksen


Valmueslekten
er en bok og fotoprosjekt med utgangspunkt i den tidligere institusjonen Toftes gave, på Helgøya i Ringsaker kommune. Toftes gave var et guttehjem som ble anlagt på gården Sund i 1875, og var Norges første offentlige barnevernsinstitusjon.

De fleste bygningene står der fortsatt, og i fem måneder leide Marit Arnekleiv to rom i hovedbygningen for å undersøke hva disse rommene har å fortelle, hvordan det er å være der og hva et kunstprosjekt kan tilføre oss i lesningen av stedets historie.

Eivind Hofstad Evjemo sine tekster går i dialog med Arnekleiv sine bilder, og maner frem ulike stemmer til de som bodde og i ulike perioder var forbundet til Toftes gave. Tekst og bilder danner en gjennomgående flyt og bevegelse i boken, og åpner rom for andre former av innlevelse og tilstedeværelse i denne historien.

I et avsluttende essay av Hans-Jørgen Wallin Weihe får vi innblikk i historien til denne type institusjoner i et nasjonalt og internasjonalt perspektiv, og hvordan de peker frem mot vår tids omsorgsinstitusjoner.

A Sudden Drop documents the garments Jóhannsson found on the street on the way to his studio in Oslo. Throughout the course of a year, the artist collected assorted sweaters, shoes, shorts, socks, gloves, stockings, bras, and dropped them, arbitrarily, on his parquet studio floor to photograph. The book catalogues 741 collected items photographed individually and arranged to cover full pages or comprising grids of three by three. Jóhannsson creates a sense of calm and order through his consistent compositions and careful arrangements of color. The book invokes questions around belonging, privacy, processes of aging, and collecting. Included is an accompanying pamphlet, Eight and a Half Days, which shows the end of this process, in which Jóhannsson compacts these garments into four wooden baskets and photographs them on the side of the street.
