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.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition David Medalla: Parables of Friendship at Bonner Kunstverein, 18 September 2021–30 January 2022 & Museion, Bolzano, 9 April–14 September 2022. Curated by Fatima Hellberg and Steven Cairns. Exhibition design and architecture Michael Kleine.

The publication brings together previous unpublished writings of Medalla, interviews with the artists, alongside contributions by writers and academics including the Purissima Benitez-Johannot, Eva Bentheva, Gavin Jantjets, David Morris, Rasheed Araeen, amongst others along with visual material from the Medalla archives, the archive of art historian Guy Brett and David Medalla.
