Mire Lee
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2026, 32 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 21 × 29.7 cm, English
Price: €12

Produced on the occasion of Mire Lee’s exhibition The Heart of My Machine is Golden Lead at Secession, Vienna, 26 June–26 August, 2026.

Mire Lee’s large-scale installations are often composed of leaking mechanisms and quasi-organic structures that appear to drip and decay. Deliberately broken motorised elements seem to strain under their own operation, resisting the seamless efficiency associated with contemporary technological aesthetics. With texts from Haris Giannouras, Gemma Barricarte and Mire Lee. Designed by Sabo Day & Rosen Eveleigh.

15th Baltic Triennial: Same Day
Published by Roma Publications, Amsterdam, 2026, 210 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 24 × 24 cm, English
Price: €35

The catalogue of the 15th Baltic Triennial at CAC in Vilnius is conceived as a visual book in two parts: one is dedicated to the Prologue, which took place a year prior to the main exhibition; the other documents the Triennial itself. In addition to contributions by Adrianna Glaviano, the book features two poems by Emerson – a figure who emerges from the archive of Greek photographer and writer George Tourkovasilis, and whose poems served as entry points to both the Prologue and the main exhibition.

Edited by Tom Engels and Maya Tounta and designed by Julie Peeters, the book draws formal inspiration from the publications of James Lee Byars.

Figure of the Child
Tolia Astakhishvili
Published by Empire, Paris, 2026, 184 pp. (colour & b/w ill.),23.5 × 32.5 cm, English/German
Price: €35

Born in 1974 in Tbilisi, Tolia Astakhishvili works and lives between Berlin and Tbilisi. Her art practice includes sculpture, drawing, painting, sound, video and writing. Her architectural environments, which integrate these various media, are designed in conversation with the exhibition site. They evoke spaces in transformation, like a suspended construction site whose origins and completion remain undefined. Everyday objects, drawings, photographs, mural inscriptions and videos suggest a diffuse human presence. Together, they weave a fictional narrative marked by a psychological dimension, sometimes tinged with surrealism.

Edited by Tolia Astakhishvili, Fatima Hellberg, Manuela Ammer. Contributions by Kirsty Bell, Fatima Hellberg, Liesl Ujvary.

Baskerville’s Teardrop Explodes: A Selection of Books as Muses
John Morgan
Published by Ten Thousand Angels Press, 2026, 256 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 14 × 20 cm, English
Price: €51

Completed shortly before John Morgan’s death in September 2025, Baskerville’s Teardrop Explodes: A Selection of Books as Muses gathers 31 books that shaped his imagination. Chosen for their visual presence and associative charge, these volumes influenced his practice as a book designer in distinct ways. Together, they form a personal Library of Muses reflecting the contradictions and layered sensibilities of his work. Selections range from titles prized for colour, materiality, or attitude to those evoking memory, romance, anxiety, humour, or failure. Each Muse carries its own energy – heroic, imperfect, excessive, modest, resonant – guiding Morgan’s creative direction and vision.

Intelligent Life
Maryanne Amacher
Published by Blank Forms, New York, 2026, 456 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 21 × 28 cm, English
Price: €60

Had it been produced, Maryanne Amacher’s media opera Intelligent Life would have represented the summation of the composer’s concept to date. As she wrote to John Cage in the autumn of 1983, following the untimely deaths of the opera’s patrons—Wies Smals, founder of De Appel, and curator Josine van Droffelaar, in a plane crash in the Swiss Alps—she would have at last had the support to “communicate the finest of my thought to others.” Amacher’s serial, intended for broadcast, sought to transmit her evolving ideas about perception, listening, and composition to a broader public—shifting music away from “nod and tap recognition” toward a transformative practice that could awaken intelligence to “unrecognized and new perceptual modes.”

Megan Francis Sullivan
Published by Bierke Verlag, Berlin, 2026, 84 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 15.5 × 24 cm, English/German

Produced on the occasion of Megan Francis Sullivan’s solo exhibition at Kunsthaus Glarus, this publication serves as a visual essay bringing together materials related to the project’s production and reception.

The booklet combines research material, installation photographs, as well as a series of drawings that were not in the show.

Edited by Melanie Ohnemus. Designed by Julie Peeters.
