Designed like a musical score, this catalogue draws on some of its conventions: its format, for a start, and its cover, where staves are interwoven with embossed lettering reminiscent of the music from "The Show is Over", the exhibition’s central installation.
At the heart of this richly illustrated volume is Fred Moten’s poem ‘Come on, Get It’, which greatly inspired Wu Tsang; it is reproduced here as a facsimile based on a cyanotype created by the artist herself. As the first book in French to be published on her work, the contributors Tosh Basco, Laura Harris, Fred Moten, Hypatia Vourloumis and Fernando Zalamea explore the collective, aesthetic, performative and political dimensions of this work, which is both activist and poetic.
