no: tongue breaks and thin fire is racing under skin, 2024
The artist book was published as part of the exhibition of the same name at Museum Brandhorst, 
03 – 15 September 2024, curated by Franziska Linhardt, with support by Zakirah Rabaney. I made this book to retrace, document, and share ideas, stages, struggles, and research from four years of developing not only the exhibition but also inventing formats of community building and opening up institutional structures. The book documents mainly the conceptual, organizational, social, ephemeral work, the work that happened before and alongside the exhibition that is to me as important as the exhibited objects.

Artist book, 4c print, handbound fanfold with several inlays, edition of 40 + 10 Special Edition (the special edition has a drawing by David and me on the covers, as in the photos. Last copies can be acquired through anonymous Gallery New York)
Published by anonymous Publishing (aP) and handmade by The New York Board of Taste, an artist-run publishing project based in Chinatown, NY. On the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at anonymous gallery in NYC, Jan - March 2024.
The fanfold brings together two works of art by Maria VMier and David Lindsay. One of David's "bruises", is reproduced one to one and determines the format of the print. The Bruises are a series of works in which he carves lines of his poems into a piece of Linden wood, subsequently burns that carving and then shaves away most of the burn, leaving behind the deepest part of the burn. Maria applied the principle of the fanfold to their calligraphic painting: they made a picture on a wide piece of paper folded in an irregular rhythm, which can be "read" page by page and spread out as a whole picture. In the publication, a new visual rhythm results from the inherent production and reproduction processes. In their work, both artists deal with writing, the illegible and the written beyond language – and in a broader sense, tell of the body, desire, and loss.

Since the beginning of 2021 we have been working on FLORIDA Magazine #7with the title “Sorge” (engl: care or worry). Care in all its meanings, as mutual support, as mostly unpaid or not adequately appreciated care work, and also as a now seemingly permanent state of exhaustion and anxiety. Most of the contributions follow an individualized residency format and an experimental care online format to which we invited artists* and activists. We also invited Atefa Omar to create a Gathertown for the release and digital version of the magazine. There you can walk around with your avatar, discover the magazine articles and maybe even meet friends.
