Otobong Nkangas first monograph, Luster and Lucre, charts an intensely productive period from 2013 to 2016, which includes exhibitions at the 8th Berlin Biennale; Portikus, Frankfurt am Main; KADIST, Paris; and M HKA, Antwerp. Its title encapsulates the complex concerns that underpin these shows: luster, the illustrious shining of materials; and lucre, profits and gains. With the mineral mica as her starting point, Nkangas research took her to archives in Berlin, Strasbourg, and Windhoek, and led her along a colonial railroad in Namibia to the historic Tsumeb mine. This rich research became works that probe the ambivalence of that which shines: poems, intricate drawings, modular sculptures that form systems of display, and performances that are both gestural and dialogical. With a foreword by Städelschule director Philippe Pirotte, Luster and Lucre also contains the essays The Refusal of Shine by curator Natasha Ginwala and Blacklight by scholar Denise Ferreira da Silva, as well as Intricate Connections, an interview between Otobong Nkanga, Clare Molloy, and Fabian Schöneich. The volume also contains three exhibition-pamphlet inserts.

Abondamment illustrée, cette monographie offre pour la première fois un aperçu complet des œuvres de l'artiste libanais réalisées depuis plus d'une décennie, et analyse un vocabulaire formel caractérisé par l'esthétique du son et du langage.A l'occasion de l'exposition de Lawrence Abu Hamdan au Bonniers Konsthall de Stockholm en 2021, un groupe d'auteurs a été invité à analyser un ensemble de ses œuvres et les idées sous-jacentes. Abu Hamdan considère l'espace de l'art comme un site où l'on peut attirer l'attention sur des conditions sociopolitiques réelles afin de remettre en question les structures qui les sous-tendent. L'artiste repousse ainsi les limites de ce qui constitue un témoignage. Le titre « Dirty Evidence » vient de la définition que donne Abu Hamdan de la preuve, dans laquelle une valeur de vérité est dérivée de son inadmissibilité même devant la loi. C'est précisément la dimension « impropre » figurative de la preuve qui contribue à la production de la vérité.

What role does historiography play in the formation of the present? How does contemporary experience inform the commemoration of historical events or lack thereof? Minouk Lim explores history in the present tense - its media representation, collective memory, ritual, and trauma - through her exhibition, publication, and broadcasting station United Paradox. The South Korea in Lim's project is a nation with a hole in its chest: a nation of families divided by territorial disputes and traumatized by civilian massacres, victims of an authoritarian power in service of ideological control and economic growth. While reflecting on the representation and reappropriation of historical events in South Korea, Lim and the contributors to this publication explore ways of working through the past in a present that prefers to forget.
