Chisenhale Gallery launches the second title in its Chisenhale Books series, Nikita Gale: IN A DREAM YOU CLIMB THE STAIRS. Marking the finale of Gale’s Chisenhale exhibition, her first artist’s book contains an intergenerational conversation with conceptual artist Barbara Kruger and a short meditation by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Hilton Als. These feature alongside contributions by artist and Chisenhale Gallery alum P. Staff and Dr. Bénédicte Boisseron, author of Afro-Dog: Blackness and the Animal Question. Through the lens of a multifaceted practice, Gale examines themes of invisibility and audibility, interrogating the dynamic between performer and spectator, structure, and decay. Produced with great care, this extraordinary book is reflective of the artist’s practice. Four visual essays, hand-annotated by Gale – ‘Absence’, ‘Ruin’, ‘Silence’, ‘Dog’ – explore themes central to the work. Nikita Gale: IN A DREAM YOU CLIMB THE STAIRS deploys throw-outs, gatefolds, five different types of papers, and a subtly disruptive design to delve into Nikita Gale’s art.Text by Zoé Whitley, P.Staff, Hilton Als, Barbara Kruger and Dr. Bénédicte Boisseron.Book Design & Creative Direction by Billie Temple.

This book explores how neoliberalism and austerity have affected older people living within a deindustrialised town, utilising a Foucauldian approach and an ethnographic methodology.
It seeks to bridge the gap between high sociological theory and a research focus upon older people. The link between the micro (real people, within a real place) and macro (abstract processes) is examined, and a mid-range theory of change is innovatively developed to highlight how older people are having to negotiate national transformations at the everyday level. Key themes within this book include the recreation of human subjectivity, antiwelfarism, the stigmatisation and exclusion of the poor, the fragmentation of the working class, and nostalgia. Innovative terms such as ‘stigma-adaptation’ and ‘abnormal abnormality’ are included to help deepen our knowledge and understanding of the social sciences, to highlight the injustices caused by current global processes, and to ultimately inform change.
This book will be of interest to scholars and students across the social sciences, particularly those studying inequalities in the modern world, neoliberalism and the economy, social theory, ageing and older people and community studies, and postgraduates who are seeking to undertake applied research. It would also be valuable for policymakers and service providers.

What Boys Like brings together a motley assemblage of urban misfits and outsiders, and explores their love/hate relationships with their city and one another. Jones’s characters grapple with lust, love and loss with an unsentimental eye, while remaining open to the sharp-edged humour caused by the chaotic and random nature of life, and the absurdity of the world around them.

La crisis ambiental y climática, que se cierne como una verdadera amenaza a escala planetaria, ha servido en los últimos años para el desarrollo de una mayor sensibilidad general hacia esta problemática y sus implicaciones de todo orden.A pesar de la reciente aparición de una abundante normativa que incide, directa o indirectamente, en los factores ambientales, sociales y de gobernanza (ASG) que integran la sostenibilidad, especialmente en el ámbito de las conocidas como finanzas sostenibles, carecemos de un análisis completo y sistemático de la disciplina desde el punto de vista jurídico. Con esta obra se trata de llamar la atención del colectivo de los profesionales del Derecho, y de los abogados, más específicamente, respecto de la relevancia adquirida por la sostenibilidad, en un proceso que, sin duda alguna, irá a más en los próximos años.Si la ciudadanía y los poderes públicos han pasado a considerar de manera prioritaria aspectos como la preservación ambiental o la inclusividad, que ya han encontrado acomodo en el marco jurídico, los profesionales del Derecho deben estar familiarizados con estas inquietudes integradas en la agenda política para darles adecuada respuesta tanto en su labor de asesoramiento como en la de afirmación de los derechos subjetivos y las libertades públicas ante los tribunales, llegado el caso.

Joshua Leon’s first book accompanies his new commission at Chisenhale Gallery, London. The outcome of two years of writing and documenting his own research processes, the publication comprises original writing by Leon alongside archival imagery. Tracing history, memory and self across time and site, the text traverses locations including a synagogue in Bordeaux, an American bar in Vienna and a veneer factory in London’s East End to reflect on the experiences of the Jewish diaspora in Europe and the formation of contemporary Jewish identity.Throughout, archival materials and images collected by Leon–architectural blueprints, immigration documents, musical scores and family photographs–visually trace slippages between personal and wider social histories. At once a fragment, a memoir and poetic prose, The Process details the varied ideas, intellectual figures and experiences that coalesce in Leon’s work, whilst complicating the role of artistic production in acts of repair, restoration and remembrance.
