Stolon Press is proud to announce Amanda Heng: On and On. Published in conjunction with “A Pause”—Amanda Heng’s exhibition for the Singapore Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale. This book brings together four decades of Heng’s artistic practice and sustained experimentation: from the artist’s early drawings of the female body to the photographic studies and artworks with herself and her mother, the performances she staged in the public spaces of Singapore and elsewhere. Edited by curator Selene Yap, the book includes essays by curator Anca Rujoiu, critic Lee Weng Choy, architectural theorist Lilian Chee, and anthropologist Souchou Yao, as well as Heng’s own distinct voice, which accompanies a series of visual essays of her work—much of it seen here for the first time. Co-published by Singapore Art Museum and Stolon Press. Available in Venice at the Singapore Pavillion, and soon through SAM and selected bookstores. Concept and editorial: Stolon Press; Design: Currency; Copyediting: Naomi Riddle; Proofreading: Heather Anderson and Li Fangqing; Typographic advice: Jeroen Wille; Prepress: Spitting Image; Library and Archvist: Andy Koh; Research: Li Fangqing. Printed by AC Dominie, Singapore. #amandaheng @singaporeartmuseum @seleneysh @currencydesign @regardingthereader @lilianchee_studio @ancarujoiu @sandyprints1 @jay_willah Video courtesy of Singapore Art Museum.

At 1301PE in Los Angeles we’re showing a selection of “Strainers”, as part of the exhibition lull between storms. Strainers are direct prints made from cardboard cartons found around our neighbourhood that had carried all manner of edible goods into Australia. Printed in Melbourne with Trent Walter. @1301pe @negativepress

Join Nick Croggon and Quentin Sprague in conversation, as part of the exhibition “Rewilding” (until 21 March) at Darren Knight Gallery, Sydney. Saturday 21 February, 2026 4pm Is there an art history of land that is not a history of landscape painting? Can art reimagine the relationship between territory and Country in settler colonial countries like Australia and the United States? Taking the exhibition as a starting point, art writers Quentin Sprague and Nick Croggon will offer some thoughts on the art and politics of landscape. RSVP: [email protected] Quentin Sprague’s recently published pocket book, The Lake, will be available for sale on the day. “As everyone knows, memory is a mystery, both tactile and ineffable. Quentin Sprague’s sustained reflection on his physical, historical, and emotional place in the world begins and ends in finely-drawn locations but spirals out across time, geography, and feeling. Compressed, charged, and elegant, the questions are inexhaustible even as the setting casts its own particular spell.” —Hugh Raffles, author of The Book of Unconformities: Speculations on Lost Time @darrenknightgallery @nickcroggon @melick_john Image: W.S.

We found a box Il Giardino di Olindo, published in 2023, in our Malaysian storeroom. 40 copies are now available through our website. “Part word, part picture, Il Giardino di Olindo conjures the narrative of a neglected genre: aesthetic impulses bring the strategies of literature, lyricism, poetry, and incisive description into the medium of photography, or better, onto the flat glass of a photocopying machine. A fig leaf, shrivelled cucumbers, the broad blade of a hand tool, washers and hose connectors—through light, heat, chemicals and electrostatic charges, we are offered a glimpse of a gardener’s life: the plants, weeds, bugs, birds, and soil, that imbricate life in a series of daily routines and struggles. A pensive and beautiful homage to a form of horticultural quietism in precarious times.” —Emilia Terracciano, author of Art and Emergency: Modernism in Twentieth-Century India @ecceterra @tompolo
