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.

OBSTAKLES
Willem Oorebeek
Published by Roma Publications, Amsterdam, 2025, 304 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 24 × 34 cm, English
Price: €40

Produced on the occasion of Oorebeek’s major survey exhibition at WIELS in Brussels, this richly illustrated book presents re-readings of fifty years’ work and the materiality of production. These are numbered according to recollection, organised under headings, and translated from Dutch to English. The translations are coloured by two years of conversation with editor/designer Will Holder—accounting for ambiguity, rabbit-holes, and an [un]conscious preference for “quasi-” “ofschoon…” “enzovoort.” Repetition, alliteration, and other material, musical and metric devices are placed on the page, quite intentionally, designed “an sich” to facilitate memory and recall; complementing the book’s many scale details of work itself.
