MOVING SCULPTURES
Michèle Graf & Selina Grüter
11 October–6 December, 2025
opening: Saturday, 11 October, 4–8pm

We started making machines together in 2010. These machines consisted of a sensor and device couplet, by which a sensor would trigger a device to perform a simple task. We experimented with sensor inputs like passing cars and tasks like heat guns blowing up trash bags, or later we would connect the machines to trains and have them push little cardboard cars back and forth. Still triggered by trains, the machines now move clock parts.

We disassemble mechanical clocks, take their parts and combine them with L-brackets, screws, washers, nuts, motors, felt, rubber bands, fishing line, and heat shrink tubing. The characteristics of the clock parts constrain and guide our activities. As we reinvent their function, the parts become less and less recognizable, their movements more and more estranged.

Strange Switch. Spent. The Night, Sleep.
George Tourkovasilis
Published by BILL, Brussels, 2025, 144 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 30 × 21 cm, English
Price: €38

This book presents previously unpublished work by George Tourkovasilis (1944–2021), a photographer and writer who lived between Paris, London, and Athens. Spanning the 1960s to the 2000s, his images move between diaristic depictions of radically intimate moments and sociological chronicles, while his incisive writing on art, politics, and desire brings its own syncopated reflections. Following his death in 2021, Akwa Ibom, Radio Athènes, and Melas Martinos assumed stewardship of his archive – prints, negatives, manuscripts, correspondence, and digital files – and organized three exhibitions: Spent at Akwa Ibom, The Night, Sleep at Radio Athènes, and Strange Switch at Melas Martinos, which are documented here. Drawing on material unearthed from the archive over the past year, including previously unseen digital and phone photography, this book offers a new perspective on a practice that largely eluded the public eye yet remained prolific and generous in private. Edited by Helena Papadopoulos, Julie Peeters & Maya Tounta. Designed by Julie Peeters.

Privilege: Yvonne Rainer Filmography
Published by At Last Books, Copenhagen, 2025, 176 pp. (b/w ill.), 11 × 20 cm, English
Price: €28

Yvonne Rainer (b. 1934) needs no introduction. One of the great American artists of her generation, she revolutionised dance and choreography in the 1960s. Yet over the course of two decades – from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s – Rainer also directed seven feature films, each intensely discursive and consistently inviting critical reflection. Radically diverse and impossible to categorise, her films carve out their own space between documentary, fiction, performance, and the avant-garde. For decades, these films have been difficult to access, and when shown, they were often confined to small monitors in large museum settings. Now, newly restored in 4K, they were presented in a retrospective by Terrassen in 2024 – the first of its kind in Denmark. The retrospective culminated in the publication of a new Yvonne Rainer filmography, with contributions from Babette Mangolte, Ursula Andkjær Olsen, Mira Adoumier, Emily Wardill, Emily LaBarge, Amelia Groom, Valérie Massadian, Iman Mohammed, Frida Sandström and Yvonne Rainer herself.
