| Title: A lamp lit a room on a night of a kind. A tree has fallen, now there is a hut. |
| By (author): Sonja Donner |
| ISBN10-13: 9527258138 : 9789527258132 |
| Sonja Donnerâ s artistâ s book is a pocket companion inviting people to gather around it, much like a table or a meal might. It traces the artistâ s search for a dwelling as a space, as a community and as a mental state in places and things as she visits, befriends and spends time with them. Donnerâ s works find their realisation where people assemble to listen to each other and share the experience of being in the world together. The book forms a carry-on archive recorded in photographic notes and short literature including an essay on avian architecture by curator Elina Suoyrjö. Author: Sonja Donner Designer: Tuukka Kaila |

| Title: Aquatic Encounters. A glossary of hydrofeminisms |
| Edited by: Anastasia (A) Khodyreva, Elina Suoyrjö |
| ISBN10-13: 952725826X : 9789527258262 |
| The book grows out of a two-year research project carried out as reading and discussion sessions dreaming of more just aquatic conditions and relations. The publication combines artistic and scholarly methods of critical inquiry to open up the concept of hydrofeminism in the contexts of contemporary art practices, ecofeminism and feminist new materialisms. It challenges normative Western conceptions of waters and bodies we inhabit, while allying with concrete bodies of water. As a glossary, Aquatic Encounters provides a practical tool for accessing and implementing hydrofeminist thought across a wide range of creative practices. |

| Title: Attached |
| By (author): Jessie Bullivant |
| ISBN10-13: 9527258189 : 9789527258187 |
| Attached is a collection of texts that document a diverse range of artworks made by Jessie Bullivant (AU/FI) over the past decade. By replacing the default photographic documentation with written accounts, the artist raises questions about how immaterial artworks are preserved, accessed and ultimately remembered, allowing space for nuances often lost in photographic documentation. As an incomplete survey of the artistâ s work, the book blurs the boundaries between art and its documentation, between a conventional monograph and an experimental artistâ s book. It gives an exciting glimpse into a committed artistic practice tackling a variety of issues from representation, power and access to subtle social interactions.

| Title: Farewell, Claw! |
| By (author): Juho Taavitsainen, Sakari Tervo |
| ISBN10-13: 9527258200 : 9789527258200 |
| Two-act singspiel Farewell, Claw! is a journey into the world of romantic artisthood. The main character, young artist Claw, bulldozes his way like a sacrificial lamb to the verge of ultimate truths, where the earthly and the heavenly tear what is theirs to pieces. Albeit born out from a creative and collaborative crisis, Farewell, Claw!, is best to be read light- heartedly; like an unplanned joie de vivre, a chant of goodbye to pressures, competition, and ill will. Authors: Juho Taavitsainen & Sakari Tervo Designer: Sakari Tervo |

| Title: Happy Hans |
| By (author): Michael Swaney |
| ISBN10-13: 9527258294 : 9789527258293 |
| A selection of Risograph printed reproductions of drawings by Barcelona based Canadian artist Michael Swaney. These drawings are a fast and direct approach to the hand motif, also known from Swaneyâ s large scale paintings. â I thought we could call it Happy Hans or Happy Hands. Happy Hans was a mascot for my home town in Kimberley Bc, and he was a beer yielding yodeler in liederhosen who would appear from some window doors on a giant cuckoo clock in town. You put coins in and he comes out and sings you a little yodel. Iâ m not the best writer but this could be a cool homage for the hand drawings maybe. what do you think?â Author: Michael Swaney Designer: Timo Vaittinen |

| Title: Letters and Banners |
| By (author): Dave McKenzie, Bhavisha Panchia |
| ISBN10-13: 9527258197 : 9789527258194 |
| Letters and Banners brings artist Dave McKenzieâ s recently commissioned body of work together with curator Bhavisha Panchiaâ s writing. The book explores multiple forms of personal and public address, employing words as personal and political forms that continually shift emphasis between direct and ambiguous meanings. Co-published with PUBLICS and PALO, the book begins a new series of Coupling Words publications. The series is initiated by PUBLICS as part of their Couplings program. In these couplings two writers / artists / groups of practitioners are introduced to one another for the first time in print or in space because of some common concerns within their practices.

| Title: Reaching Out: A Book about agency, care, identity and... |
| ISBN10-13: 9527258332 : 9789527258330 |
| Reaching Out: A Book about Agency, Care, Identity and... offers insights into how young practitioners approach publishing as a field of relations. In their respective contexts, the young people who developed the content of this publication met with artists, writers, curators and publishers to consider questions of authorship, voice and visibility. The resulting interviews and conversations, reflections and visual contributions offer propositions for how art institutions might use the strategies deployed here to connect with wider communities, different voices and new publics. This volume is part of Future Futures: Reaching Out, a three-year-long collaboration between Index â The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation (Stockholm), PRAKSIS (Oslo) and PUBLICS (Helsinki). Each organisation works with a group of young people who for an entire year act as advisers and collaborators. Through a range of activities, Index Teen Advisory Board (ITAB), PRAKSIS Teen Advisory Board (PTAB) and PUBLICS Youth Advisory Board (PYAB) have reflected on how printed matter is still relevant in a digital world. Collectively they have explored how books, (maga)zines, etc. continue to act as meeting points between people and ideas across time and space. |

| Title: Things for Homes / Homes for Things |
| ISBN10-13: 9527258170 : 9789527258170 |
| Can a sculpture survive in the home without being domesticated into just another objectâ a door stop or something you hang your hat on? What are the civic duties we assign to sculpture today, in comparison to the post-war nation-building and reassertion of civilisation? At the heart of Things for Homes / Homes for Things are conversations about our social relationship to objects and the spatial relations these depend on. Prevettâ s enquiry is intimate and gentle, occurring as it does on a domestic scale in the homes of people who donâ t own art, and perhaps have never cared for it that much before. Without the expectations and politics that grand publicness entails, it embraces instead the potential for social connection through making and giving of sculpture to strangers. |
