A Love Letter, Twenty Years
by Andrew Berardini
We have read a lot while preparing Mousse #96 ~ 2006–2026, a visual record of twenty years of Mousse. For the occasion, Andrew Berardini penned us a long love letter, reflecting on two decades of endurance, patience, growing together, the necessity of poetry in art writing, and the invisible labor of love that goes into editing.

Bodies in Motion, Bodies at Rest:
Ali Cherri in Conversation with Kaelen Wilson-Goldie
For more than twenty years, Ali Cherri has been pressing on the bruises of wounded bodies, both literal and figurative, in films, videos, ever-more elaborate sculptural installations, and comparatively delicate watercolors and diminutive works on paper. Cherri delves into experiences of pain, stress, loneliness, and ennui while exploring instances of cultural and environmental devastation, outright war, revolutionary upheaval, and stalemate.
This conversation between Cherri and Kaelen Wilson-Goldie, venturing into his plans for the third film in his trilogy devoted to the figure of the soldier, marks a new iteration of the collaboration between TextWork by Fondation Pernod Ricard and Mousse.

Toni Morrison: Nobel Prize Lecture Award ceremony speech, Stockholm, December 7, 1993
“Fiction has never been entertainment for me. It has been the work that I have done for most of my adult life. I believe that one of the principal ways in which we acquire, hold, and digest information is via narrative.” Read Toni Morrison’s lecture for the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature, testifying to her powerful fabulation, at the core of Koyo Kouoh’s In Minor Keys.

by Gee Wesley

Nolan Lucidi, “Bildersaal” at Kunsthaus Glarus
by Diogo Pinto
In one of Kunsthaus Glarus’ ground-floor galleries, Nolan Lucidi presents his first institutional solo exhibition, Bildersaal (Picture Gallery). The title borrows from the museum’s own original signage, still intact above the gallery’s entrance. Seventy years on, it remains accurate, announcing precisely what awaits inside: a room of images, and images of rooms.”
