Elizabeth Price SOUND OF THE BREAK accompanies the homonymous Turner Prize winner's extensive solo exhibition at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, presenting both new works and works shown in Germany for the first time. The publication, which was largely designed by the artist herself, takes a very unique approach. It presents the elements from which the videos on display are composed-photographs, animation frames, source materials-and at the same time discloses aspects of the artist's working process. As you flip through the book, you move through bodies of material dealing with different but related phenomena, as if following the timeline in one of Price's videos.

A handsomely designed artist's book expanding on Minh-Ha's film What about China?The Vietnam-born, Berkeley-based multimedia artist and leading postcolonial theorist Trinh T. Minh-ha (born 1952) is celebrated internationally for her films such as Reassemblage (1982) and Surname Viet Given Name Nam (1985) and influential books such as Lovecidal (2016) and Elsewhere, Within Here (2010). Publications on her art are few, however. This beautifully designed artist's book was conceived from the script and visuals of Minh-Ha's film What about China? (2022), in which she films the Chinese countryside and a series of voices share personal experiences, poems and traditional songs, reflecting on China's past and present. Deftly uniting image and text, Traveling in the Dark expands upon the film's conceptual scaffolding with writings, poems and aphorisms as well as conversations with other filmmakers and theorists.

"[...] what I consider to be one of the most important arts of the future: the art of translation. "-Édouard GlissantWith The Poetry of Translation, Kunst Meran Merano Arte investigates the compelling phenomenon of translation. Over seventy works by over thirty artists shed light on the process of translation from novel perspectives. Inspired by the living multilingual environment of South Tyrol and its eventful history of interethnic cohabitation, Kunst Meran Merano Arte offers the ideal context for a research on translation and questions surrounding identity, multiculturalism, and diversity. The essays and visuals included in the book address translation in its complexity: on the one hand, as a source of inclusion, international understanding, creativity, genius and poetry, while on the other as a cause of misunderstanding and exclusion. It is understood here as a creative process through which something new is always created.

"Chests fall up and down. Particles fow from inside the lungs into the open air. They comingle until pulled again into another chest. Quietly the bodies exchange gasses, heat, moisture. They create their own weather. Currents twist in the air until coming to rest in a pair of lungs, only to be expelled back into the rafters. All this is invisible. Nothing could be seen if there were eyes open to look. " -Becket Flannery Isabelle Andriessen investigates ways to physically animate inanimate (synthetic) materials in order to provide them with their own metabolism, behavior and agency. Her sculptures are agents inhabiting the liminal space between sculpture and performance, composed of materials that act and evolve, seemingly beyond control and often irreversibly. On the occasion of the exhibitions DORM (2021) and BUNK (2021), this publication brings together three distinct voices. Sci-fi writer and art critic Mark Von Schlegell contributes a short story in which an engineer is trying to locate a lost AI as a spaceship hurdles of course. In an autonomous photo series photographer Nikola Lamburov reimagines Andriessen's sculptures, capturing their processes in sticky, eerie and surreal landscapes. Through fractals, liquids, vapors and metals, curator Laura McLean-Ferris's essay traces the state changes that are enacted across Andriessen's works, and in doing so fnds systems of porous entanglement that fourish in a world without humans.

Los Angeles-based artist Paul Sietsema (born 1968) compounds organic and artificial detritus in his artwork. Using photographs and other objects that reference specific bodies of knowledge as starting points for his carefully crafted drawings and sculptures, he then films these images and objects, arranging and comparing both the physical works and the ideas, information and knowledge associated with them. Through his multistep, multimedia approach, Sietsema explores what it means to make art today, amid the barrage of images and the telescoping of past, present and future that instant access to information seems to provide. His film projects are both a consideration of time and how we apprehend it and an effort to return significance to the activity of image-making in an age of digital immediacy. This slim, clothbound hardcover is the first publication on Sietsema's film works, and includes stills from seven films accompanied by three curatorial essays.

Working in photography, film, sculpture, performance and installation, Los Angeles-based artist Elad Lassry (born 1977) has established himself as one of the most original artists of his generation, with works that are at once visually seductive and conceptually challenging. This book documents Lassry's solo exhibition at the Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea in Milan, Italy. With an essay by Aram Moshayedi (Curator at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles) and a conversation between the artist and Jörg Heiser (co-editor of Frieze magazine), it provides an in-depth critical examination of Lassry's work from the beginning of his career to the present.

Every aspect of the book's design, including its more than 170 color illustrations, is conceived to reflect on the artist's haptic, indexical painterly approach and oversize scale system.
