A Table Made Again for the First Time is an anthology that gathers essays
by many authors –translators, artists, editors, and poets– who relate to translation
as a task that demands it's own specificity. After a round table with Kate Briggs
–Bureau des Réalités, Brusels, 2018– we commissioned, translated and edited
texts by 9 authors of different origins who consider questions such as the tension
between author and translator, the relation between personal experience and
literary research, or the ethical implications that cultural and gender studies
have accounted on this type of work.
This edition, our first completely in English, will represent an important contribution
to the international debate around translation studies, which have gathered artistic
and literary interest in recent years after the publication of This Little Art, by Kate Briggs
(Fitzcarraldo Editions 2017).

Intertitles is an anthology of work situated at the intersection of writing and the visual arts.
The anthology aims to explore their confluence and is conceived in response to a twofold
observation: the increased presence of written, spoken and performed language in the work
of visual artists and the simultaneous increase in visibility and circulation of the work and
voices of writers in the visual arts arena.

LEGSICON
Playful, serious, absurd, seductive and bodily, Legsicon is a major new publication by Laure Prouvost, published
to accompany her current exhibition at M HKA, AM-BIG-YOU-US LEGSICON, from 8 Feb - 19 May 2019.
Legsicon delves into the philosophical depths of the artist’s practice, through the familiar, if transformed, format
of a lexicon, to portray the work of an artist developing complex thought through artistic languages.
Deviating from a typical monograph, Legsicon functions as a sort of dictionary, exploring and expanding on
thirty-six notions in Prouvost’s work, with each incorporating a commissioned text, new drawings created by the
artist and selected documentation of her related works.
Words such as Artist, Boobs, Dream, Grandad, Octopus, Woman, and thirty other key words, have triggered
contributions from Celidor Aikvost, Nuar Alsadir, Paul Becker, Dodie Bellamy, Paul Buck, Sophie Collins,
Marie Darrieussecq, Bart De Baere, Melissa Gronlund, Nicoline van Harskamp, Nav Haq, Alistair Hudson,

MY LIFE by Anton Lesseman
Essays on Sculpture 68
Paul Becker, one of the Henry Moore Institute’s 2011 Research Fellows,
tells the story of the sculptor Anton Lesseman, an unknown, and
entirely fictional, contemporary of Henry Moore.
Featuring extracts from Lesseman’s autobiography, illustrated by
sketches, paintings, letters and sculptures, and an interview between
Paul Becker and Jon Wood (Research Curator at the Henry Moore Institute),
This publication is an exploration of the imaginary artist and the role of fiction in art making.
Part of the Henry Moore Institute’s Essays on Sculpture series.
Choreography / Coreografía
Choreography is a novella playing with ideas of staging, spectatorship,
duplication and mirroring as both conceptual and formal narrative devices.
Commissioned by Juan de la Cosa and appearing for the first time also in
Spanish, the book is set within a series of scenes from the 1976 RW
Fassbinder film Chinese Roulette.
Far from being a straightforward recounting, the novella is an attempt to
repurpose the emotional, psychosexual atmospheres contained within the
images as a new, hybrid, ekphrastic fiction.

THE MEAN OF MEN
Adam Phillips & Paul Becker (2016)
The Mean of Men is a collection of 64 short scenes/stories written half by Paul Becker and half by Adam Phillips,
amassed over an email exchange between 2012-2016.
Each text was written in response to an arbitrary, single-word, title suggested
by the other writer. Rather than an assertion of masculinity, the title of this
collection comes from an idea of male averageness or normativity:
an interestingly redundant notion. Something of what that redundancy
could imply kept cropping up in parts of the writing, that and the reality of
being male and located somewhere towards the middle of life.
A glossary in the back of the book denotes the definition of each title, inviting as well as obfuscating
interpretation of each text’s meaning or intent.
The Mean of Men was designed with Sam Watson (OPEN-AIR).
