This distinctive book centers around an installation by Stephen Prina as a frame within which to explore themes vital to its making, including artistic production, site-specificity, curatorial practice, photography, architecture, and institutional critique. This multi-layered work is reevaluated by the curator, Jenelle Porter. She begins with Prina's single-image documentation of the 16-year exhibition schedule at the Heitzler Gallery (1975-1991). This final set of 163 photographs was then installed in the Heitzler Gallery, along with assorted elements as part of Prina's complete exhibition. Essays by James Meyer and Wilhelm Schurmann.
Speechsong is a work of imaginative musicology that addresses the engimas of Schoenberg and Gould, of singing and speaking, of Moses und Aron, of technology and being. Its point of departure is Gould's last public performance, given at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles, where a number of Schoenberg's works were performed during his California exile.

This anthology explores the connections between photography, the digital, and painting in contemporary art practices. While there is much research being undertaken into the mediums under discussion as discrete concerns in the digital age, there is little investigation into these in combination. As photography, the digital, and painting frame the contemporary visual discourse, a rigorous investigation into this relationship is much needed. This book, which continues the investigations begun with PaintingDigitalPhotography, undertakes this by leading the research into questions of medium-fluidity in contemporary visual art practices. The contributors here are renowned artists, senior academics, theorists, and younger researches contributing to the field of study. Their essays address a wide range of interrelated topics, including AI generation of digital imagery, hyperreal photographic visions of the world, the embodied experience of the painter, and art practice that synthesises the three mediums, amongst others. This book will be of particular interest to scholars, academics, and researchers studying the associations of these mediums in the digital age.
