The Otolith Group
A Long Time Between Us
This monograph on The Otolith Group reveals the tantalizing work coming from this group founded in 2002 by London-based artists Kodwo Eshun and Anjalika Sagar. Engaging with archival materials, futurity, and with the histories of transnationality, Otolith suggests a future in which the past is treated as a relic, an idea that has the potential to inform the present and modify the future. A Long Time Between Suns was the second installment of a two-part solo show by the Otolith Group, informed by Satyajit Ray’s unmade film The Alien (1967) and Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Appunti per un Film sull’India (1968). This new Otolith Group monograph, designed by Will Holder, links the two stages of a new exhibition at Gasworks and The Showroom. With an extensive conversation with the artists and a new text by Jean Matthee.

In Translation
This is the seventh annual issue of Pages, a publication that serves as a public discourse between the academic community in the West and Iran. The editors of Pages were inspired to scrutinize the various aspects of translation because they confront it with every issue of their journal. “There is clearly no such thing as a perfect substitute in translation,” the editors write. “There are instead displacements and interpretations, which remain nevertheless within the limits of the text.” An instance of cultural practice and political agency, translation does more than create a space between languages or among cultures. An innovative look at how translation affects the spatial and political arrangements of public and private spaces of cities, as communal or individual identities, in representations of state media, and in artistic practice itself.
