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.
Since the 1980s, Belgian artist Sigefride Bruna Hauman has created a highly original body of work in different media. Her installations, reliefs and videos are the subject of a much-overdue retrospective organized by M Leuven—and of this first monograph.
Rituals of Care is an extensive monograph devoted to the work of Antonio Obá, published in conjunction with his eponymous exhibition presented at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, curated by Andrea Bellini. Extensively illustrated, the book immerses the reader in Obá’s multifaceted oeuvre and in the magical iconographic universe of his paintings.
Claiming that the museum is not enough means asking what a museum should be and do, eventually questioning the role of cultural institutions in society. Through conversations, stills of documentaries, responses, and reprints of archival documents that explore ideas of architecture on the ground, this volume reflects on the tools deployed by the institution to redefine its relationship to others.

First Meeting is the first monograph on Argentinian artist Santiago de Paoli. Covering de Paoli’s oeuvre from his early, experimental projects to his most recent explorations, the book delves into his innovative approach of painting on unconventional materials, from plaster to bread, felt to canvas, aluminum to wool, and socks to fur. It features newly commissioned essays by Fernanda Brenner, and Mariano Mayer, as well as a conversation between Christian Rattemeyer and the artist.
The book is also punctuated by visual archives of de Paoli’s different studios throughout the years, enriching the comprehensive overview of an artistic universe where nature, abstraction, magic, and surrealism intersect and converge. Encompassing works dating from 2010 to 2024, this monograph lays out an original pathway for the interpretation of de Paoli’s oeuvre.
