White Cube Books: Michael Armitage 📖✨️⁠
⁠
As Michael Armitage’s (michael_armitage_studio) solo exhibition ‘The Promise of Change’ continues at Palazzo Grassi, Venice, we are spotlighting two books from other major institutional shows by the artist – at Kunsthalle Basel in 2022 and South London Gallery in 2017.⁠
⁠
Published to mark the artist’s exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel (kunsthallebasel) and White Cube Bermondsey, London, in 2022, the monograph ‘You, Who Are Still Alive’ features a fictional email by South African singer, actor and author Nakhane (nakhaneofficial); an extract from Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s epic poem ‘The Perfect Nine’ (2020); and insightful essays by curator Elena Filipovic, and painter Nicholas Hatfull (nicholas.hatfull).⁠
⁠
The 2017 publication, published to mark Michael’s solo exhibition ‘The Chapel’ at South London Gallery (southlondongallery), arrays his earlier works, and features an in-conversation with SLG director, Margot Heller; an essay by curator Roger Malbert; and a sociopolitical reading of the artist’s paintings by scholar Mukami Kuria (mukami_kuria).⁠
⁠
📍 View Michael Armitage’s paintings at Palazzo Grassi, Venice, until 10 January 2027.⁠
