Arnout and Michiel De Cleene - Capital Compression

ROMA Publications 2023 ISBN 9789464460391 Acqn 33474

Pb 15x22cm 24pp ills £11.25

'Capital Compression' explores the poetics of blockchain. On a semiotic level, a blockchain is

self-referential. It is a document documenting itself. This publication employs strategies of
authentication and documentation, both photographically and discursively. A nineteen-line poem
mimics blockchain technology by employing a system of hashing, encrypting the poem with each
successive line and page. The history, progression, and sequence of the poem in this way
becomes immutable. The poem intertwines with a series of photographs and an essay entitled
"The Glow". What erodes elsewhere, gathers here. Until carbon turns into diamond, and
compression into capital.

Yael Davids - I am Going to be Your Last Teacher – Workbook
ROMA Publications 2023 ISBN 9789464460315 Acqn 33486
Pb 23x30cm 198pp col ills £39

This publication by Yael Davids unfolded as a workbook along two different exhibitions: A Daily
Practice at Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (2020) and One Is Always a Plural at Migros Museum
fur Gegenwartskunst, Zurich (2021). In Eindhoven the exhibition emerged from a three year
research cycle facilitated by the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. Within the Van
Abbemuseum she set up an educational structure, initially afterschool care for children, which
evolved into weekly Feldenkrais classes. In Zurich, taking up these ideas in connection with a
collection show, which had not been done for some time, was a fruitful challenge.

Born, Hendrik Folkerts, Amelia Jones & Tawny Andersen, Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung,
