Accompanying the exhibition Glot at The Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College (April–May 2024), this reader features original interviews with the exhibition’s participating artists: Shahrzad Changalvaee, JJJJJerome Ellis, Nour Mobarak, and Anri Sala. Glot, titled after the Greek-origin suffix meaning “to have a tongue,” is a project about speech and its limits. In these long-form interviews with curator and editor Sophie Rose, the four artists reflect on the elements of vocal expression in their works that exceed linguistic construction. Through these discussions, Changalvaee, Ellis, Mobarak, and Sala suggest a politics of speech beyond clear articulation: a politics residing in the material of voice itself, which both carries and disturbs the speaker’s intention.
Accompanying the first US survey and largest exhibition to date dedicated to Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija, Rirkrit Tiravanija: A LOT OF PEOPLE traces four decades of Tiravanija’s multifaceted practice. Spanning rarely seen early works from the 1980s through recent projects, the publication covers Tiravanija’s experimentations with installation, film, works on paper, ephemera, sculpture and participatory works. Designed by Tiffany Malakooti, the publication features over 400 images—many of which are published for the first time—as well as 23 newly commissioned texts.
Unfolding Conversations is a sequence of interviews with artists, writers, and curators drawn from Brief Histories’ international network, with contributions by Marwa Arsanios, Fia Backström, Isak Berbic, Coleman Collins, Rana Issa, Fawz Kabra, and Christian Nyampeta, with drawings by Ali Eyal. The publication reflects the daily migration of critical ideas, and is structured as a game of broken telephone, in which the interviewee carries forth the conversation and becomes the interviewer. The contributors’ insights evolve from one discussion into the next, igniting a chain of dialogue that travels from tongue to tongue, topic to topic, and place to place.
