Open Humanities Press is pleased to announce the new book in its
Immediations series: Katve-Kaisa Kontturi's Ways of Following: Art,
Materiality, Collaboration.
Available for free download at:

In Ways of Following, Katve-Kaisa Kontturi offers rare, intimate access
to artists’ studios and exhibitions, where art processes thrive in their
material-relational becoming. The book argues for an ethical and
affirmative mode of engaging with contemporary art that replaces
critical distance with sensuous and transformative proximity. From
writing-with to dancing and breathing, from conversations to modelling,
it maps ways of following that make the moving materiality of art
intensively felt. Drawing on long-term engagements with selected
contemporary artists and their art-in-process, Kontturi expands the
concept and practice of collaboration from human interactions to working
with, and between, materials. With this shift, Ways of Following
radically rethinks such core tenets of art theory as intention, artistic
influences and the autonomy of art, bringing new urgency to the work of
art and its political capacity to propose new ways of being and thinking.
Best, Gary
