Delighted to welcome back Gato Negro Ediciones from Mexico to present 2 of their new titles for us!
Documenta 14 Special
This is the diary of a curious, unsettled Athenian. The daily register of a bewildered documenta employee. The notes of an overworked art enthusiast. This is a memoir—a documentary—an anecdote—a flashback. A dissonant guide to a so-called "hot" city and its residents, as they encountered or reacted to a major art event. And a lingering question: What space is left—for art in capitalism—to hold on to a different, radical present?
All photos and quotes presented in this book were found and collected from documenta 14 press material, exhibition reviews, online blogs, social media, and the streets of Athens and Kassel.

We All Have Been Lonely and Lovely Places
Brought up between Germany, Mexico, and the US, the writer Lara Konrad cross-examines her past and present role of the female body that has been bred and grown inside a reality determined by the male-dependent 1%.
What does it mean to have been born white and female, automatically assigned with a long-lasting purpose of body, and just body? What happens when an identity — necessarily conditioned by youth and other pre-disposed, universal ideals for female acceptance and admission — begins to meet its inevitable end? What type of body will I be after this body is no longer the body I learned to live and depend on Having adopted a life that over the course of time assumed the role of spectator instead of participator, it’s especially the premises of sexual relationships that eventually endorsed a type of female performativity — my body, a body that was never my own.
