Fresh off the press: 𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 / 𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 – Notes on the State of the World by Kati Rapia & Ilona Valkonen @kat_i_rap @ilonavalkonen

A documentary-poetic portrait of the Baltic Sea, where marine litter meets play, imagination and making things together. Between 2020 and 2026, Rapia and Valkonen held workshops in fourteen coastal towns and villages around the Baltic. There, young people turned beach trash into outfits and were photographed wearing their creations. The book has 90 photographs and an interview with the artists.

New book coming out in October ࿐ ࿔:･ﾟ

Phytopia by Maija Annikki Savolainen @maija_annikki now available for pre-order in Khaos’ webshop. Exhibition opens to the public at Rauma Art Museum on October 24th, publishing event in Puistokatu 4, Helsinki, November 12th. Welcome! ⋆.ೃ࿔:･
@raumaartmuseum @puistokatu4

Since 2013, Savolainen has been photographing the changing ecological state of the Archipelago Sea through sailing culture. Phytopia asks what it means to move through a changed landscape, and what new ways of being together might emerge from a changing sea.

Cyanobacteria are among the oldest organisms on Earth and an essential part of the marine food web. In the book’s images, the bodies and postures of the sailors echo the filaments, chains and colonies formed by blue-green algae. Hands gripping ropes, boats, wind and water form a constantly shifting whole, where the boundaries between humans and other forms of life begin to blur.

Book design by the wonderful Päivi Helander @paivi_helander_, who has worked with the artist and this project in the SEAS Collective @seas_kollektiivi

The photographs were made in collaboration with girl sea scouts, sailing communities and the Kanssakulkijat project. The artist thanks all the sailors in the photos, especially @turuntahtitytot

MAYA MARTINEZ describes how JAAKKO PALLASVUO’s scripts for performance “act as architecture, as guided meditations, as the flow of the id.” For issue 007 of @thewhitneyreview Martinez reviews MOUTHING THE WORDS: TEXTS FOR PERFORMANCE 2019–2025 tracing how
Pallasvuo is “witty, self-conscious, and entertaining, concerned with newness, fear, chance, and time passing.” by @khaospublishing

Teimme vaihtoehtoisen kannen @ella.venlamaria ja @eliaslahtinen hienolle teokselle Men with No Mountains 🩵 Härmäläisyys ja pohjalaisuus näyttäytyvät kulttuurissamme jokseenkin maskuliinisina ja vanhanaikaisinakin käsitteinä. Pastellisen sumuisella kannella haluamme tuoda esiin asioiden toisen laidan, pehmeyden karskin ulkokuoren takana.

Ote teoksesta:
“Lakeuksilla näkee kauas ja tulee itse nähdyksi helposti: se on näyttämö, jolle härmäläinen asettuu esille. Kaikki on nähtävillä: pellot, pihat, talot ja ihmiset, etenkin muukalaiset valokuvaajat. Tyhjyys ympärillä kysyy: kuka sinä olet ja mitä tuot tähän kuvaan? Lakeus pakottaa suojautumaan tai kasvamaan.”

Mouthing The Words: texts for performance 2019–2025 is now available globally via @antennebooks, including the US, where we’ve received many inquiries. We’re pleased to be able to offer the book to readers worldwide, honks to Antenne Books.

Mouthing The Words: texts for performance 2019–2025
by Jaakko Pallasvuo @avocado_ibuprofen

𝘔𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 consists of texts written to be performed. Sometimes this means a text written as the initial component to a theatrical production. Sometimes a text has been written to be spoken by someone without much other splendour. The words exist to be said, sung or put into action.

The texts collected in this book have been written for Amnesia Scanner, Teo Ala-Ruona and Maria Metsalu, among others. The words have been uttered in theaters, performance venues and contemporary art institutions in Berlin, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Tallinn, London, et cetera.

Collecting these texts in book form strips them of their original context while placing them in parallel with each other. A thread runs through them. A thread across time and space. Words are so thin they can resist all this entropy and erosion for a while. Why is there an inkling that all these texts might be one text? This book is, possibly, the slow emergence of three quarters of one idea. In an ideal scenario perceiving this idea taking shape is beautiful and thrilling.

One last publication for 2025 <3

Amoeba by Khaos founder Iina Esko @iinaesko

ɐqǝoɯ∀ describes the feeling of stagnation and being caught in a loop where things never truly change. This artist’s book by Iina Esko is based on analogue practice and consists of text and photographs. The photographs are taken on 120 mm film using Mamiya 67 and 645 cameras, and the book is hand-bound.

The work examines the experience of stasis and continuity, as well as recurring cycles of expectation and withdrawal, through the metaphor of the amoeba.
