Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Forrest Bess at Fridericianum, Kassel, 15 February–6 September, 2020.

Forrest Bess was one of the most interesting figures in US-American post-war art. Starting in the 1940s, he lived in isolation in Texas and created small, biomorphic abstractions that reflected his visionary experiences between wakefulness and sleep. Bess combined art with an intense exploration of mythology, psychology, and sexology, believing that the path to completeness and immortality could only be achieved through what he called hermaphroditism. His unconventional works received posthumous recognition in international exhibitions and influenced many contemporary artists such as Amy Sillman, Richard Hawkins and James Benning.

With texts from Tomma Abts, Dieter Schwarz, Amy Sillman & Moritz Wesseler.

Produced on the occasion of Melvin Edwards’ retrospective exhibition at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, from 22 October, 2025–15 February, 2026.

Conceived by artist and founder of BlackMass Publishing, Yusuf Hassan, this publication takes the form of an intimate exploration and meditation on Melvin Edwards’ work. Hassan envisions this zine as a conversation between their respective mediums: sculpture and printed matter. He describes the poetic approach to Melvin Edwards’ work that guided his creative process as follows: “Over the summer, as I developed this publication, I immersed myself in his philosophy. I took quiet trips to see his sculptures in New York—especially those that live outside the walls of institutions. The ones that live among people. The ones that weather. That gather dust, rust, fingerprints, and time.”

Clipping 1: Coming of Age gathers transcripts, commissioned texts, personal reflections and tracks that explore the social, emotional and infrastructural dimensions of ‘becoming’ through sound and music.

With contributions by alys(alys)alys, Ash Kilmartin, Brandon LaBelle, Content Care, corecore, Emily Moore, Federica Notari, Golnoosh Heshmati, Juliette Lizotte, Katía Truijen, Natasha Rijkhoff, rEmPiT godDe$$, and Slikback.

Frederik Worm and Cæcilie Trier have collaborated since 2022, combining Worm’s photographic work with Trier’s musical compositions in the context of live performances and screenings. Following their initial tour in 2022, Cæcilie Trier developed the composition Vind (‘Wind’ in Danish), which later served as the basis for their collaborative video work Vind, 43:26 min.

As a publication, Vind, 43:26 min. presents Worm’s editorial notes and Trier’s musical notations and marks their first published book work. Designed by stanza with Frederik Worm.

Scully’s Run is a new photographic monograph by Frederik Worm, accompanied by texts from Dora Budor and Alexandra Symons-Sutcliffe. Through a series of subtle and sensous images, Worm constructs a visual language attuned to dislocation, attention and the fragility of spatial belonging. The publication considers the movement not only through space, but through the image itself as a conscious relational act. In a world where the conditions of ‘home’ feel increasingly unstable, Scully’s Run proposes a way of seeing that could be both resistant and tender. Designed by stanza.

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Jože Plečnik (1872–1957), a key figure of the Modernist movement in architecture and creator of numerous buildings and monuments around the city of Ljubljana, in 2022 Luca Lo Pinto and Olaf Nicolai curated an exhibition titled I Am Only the Housekeeper, but I Don’t Know… in the Slovenian architect’s former home. The publication retraces the contemporary interventions undertaken by the curatorial duo, who invited twenty-five internationally recognised Slovenian and foreign artists, allowing them to enter the house through their own works to commemorate Plečnik’s oeuvre and place its reading into a different and more contemporary context.
