GHOST TOWN by Ola Vasiljeva is the first comprehensive overview of Vasiljeva’s practice and (re)collects the fragments, shapes, and thoughts that have been (re)configured and (re)presented throughout Ola’s multifaceted constellations from 2008 to 2023.
Edited by Roos Gortzak and designed by Robert Milne, the publication consists of several intertwined sections, including Ola’s exhibitions; texts by Roos Gortzak, Chris Fitzpatrick, Anna Gritz, Daniil Kharms, and Kate Strain; an ALBUM by The Oceans Academy of Arts (OAOA); and STORAGE that functions as ‘both a compass for navigating the archipelago of her piled arrangements, and later, as a mnemonic device.’
