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.
This big artist book was born from the collection of hundreds of tickets of concerts, attended by artist Jac Leirner for the past four decades.
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.

Jake Grewal’s work explores the intertwined themes of landscape, identity, and queer embodiment. His paintings and drawings often depict solitary figures in natural settings that blur the boundary between the external world and inner emotion. The landscapes—misty forests, coastal horizons, and shifting terrains—act less as backdrops and more as psychological spaces where intimacy, vulnerability, and transformation unfold.
Central to Grewal’s practice is the relationship between human fragility and the cyclical processes of nature. Through motifs of erosion, water, and changing light, he reflects on time, memory, and renewal. His figures—often nude and rendered with tenderness—suggest both exposure and belonging, merging with their surroundings in ways that evoke the fluidity of identity and desire.
Grewal’s sensibility is deeply informed by his queer and diasporic experience. Rather than addressing these identities overtly, he weaves them into the emotional and atmospheric texture of his paintings. The result is work that feels both personal and universal: meditations on longing, connection, and the search for home within the self and the world.
Under the Same Sky is Grewal’s first monograph, published on the occasion of the artist’s recent exhibition at Studio Voltaire, London. Accompanied by a conversation between the artist and Andrew Bonacina and an essay by Philip Hoare, this book also features the paintings and drawings that informed Grewal’s past exhibitions at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, and Thomas Dane Gallery in London.
