Black morning glory: A time for decolonial listening investigates the herbarius as both a lens through which we can analyse colonial representations of nature, and as a decolonial tool to explore new relationships with plant life. Considering the artistic research around some of the oldest kruidboeken in the Netherlands by artist M.A. van Tulder during her research residency at Huis van het boek — researcher E.A.E. Evans works through the history of science and botany, defined by patriarchal capitalism, to offer a contemporary way forward. The richly illustrated volume featuring plants, herbs, and their medicinal properties is a unique epistemological construction that has contributed to the exploitation of nature. Through Rolando Vázquez’s notion of decolonial listening, this publication asks readers: what could a decolonial herbarius, visually and discursively, be like today?
Short Term Eternity brings together two artists—Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978, USA) and Anu Vahtra (1982, Estonia)—whose practices are related to each other in many ways, even if they were born in different times and locations. The aim of the book is not just to compare their work, but to describe the circling of ideas and strategies in the art world from a non-hierarchical perspective. The book was produced on the occasion of Gordon Matta-Clark: Anarchitect. Anu Vahtra: Completion through removal, an exhibition at the Kumu Art Museum in Tallinn, 22 February–8 June,2019, curated by Sergio Bessa, Jessamyn Fiore, and Anu Allas.
Produced on the occasion of the exhibition at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, 2 October–2 November, 1969, which showcased works by Italian artists Mario Ceroli, Jannis Kounellis, Gino Marotta, and Pino Pascali.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Sherrie Levine/Joost van Oss: Sculpture at Paula Cooper Gallery, New York, 23 October–4 December, 1999.
Sherrie Levine and Joost van Oss’s collaborative exhibition consisted of an installation of two sculptures inspired by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld — Berlin Chair (1923) and End Table (1923). Each sculpture consists of a set of 24 steel units. Arranged in a grid, the formation of these sculptures recalls the programmatic dispersal of 54 vertical cedar units in Carl Andre’s Flanders Field (1978) and Donald Judd’s large-scale floor pieces.
