The catalogue of the first survey exhibition of pre-eminent artist, educator and publisher Céline Condorelli, held at Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh in 2022.
This book uses the social transformation that has taken place in Ireland from the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1993 to the repeal of the 8th amendment in 2018 as backdrop to examine relationships between activism and contemporary Irish theatre and performance.

Virtual instruments, muted performances and video and sound installations by Chinese artist Samson Young Surveying works by acclaimed Hong Kong-based sound and installation artist Samson Young (born 1979), this catalog provides an overview of Young's practice to date--including a newly commissioned work in which he composes music for instruments that could never exist--alongside essays.
A richly illustrated catalogue documenting the emotionally rousing work Song of the Union by Emeka Ogboh, co-commissioned by Talbot Rice Gallery and Edinburgh Art Festival in 2021.
Angelica Mesiti is one of the leading Australian artists of her generation. This beautiful book coincides with her first major exhibition in the UK, at the Talbot Rice Gallery. In the Round offers a window onto different elements of Mesiti's practice: from the communication of trees and the vision of bees; to the occupation and performance of resistance in the halls of democracy; to the migration of people, customs and music. Her artworks mine histories and perform messages, with sound, vocalisation and percussion running throughout the exhibition. The conversation and essays in this book - by the artist, leading cultural commentators, academics and the exhibition curator - provide a diverse array of entry points into Mesiti's practice. This richly illustrated catalogue is a kaleidoscopic tapestry of the artists own work alongside almost 50 items from across the University of Edinburgh's vast collections.
This multimedia exhibtion includes a film, video projections, sculptural works installed over several rooms including her Carpet for the Irish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2009) which is made from surplus wool stocks from the Donegal Carpets factory.
