Summary:
In "Synthetic: How Life Got Made", cultural anthropologist Sophia Roosth reveals how synthetic biologists make new living things in order to understand better how life works. The first book-length ethnographic study of this discipline, "Synthetic" documents the social, cultural, rhetorical, economic, and imaginative transformations biology has undergone in the post-genomic age. Roosth traces this new science from its origins at MIT to start-ups, laboratories, conferences, and hackers’ garages across the United States—even to contemporary efforts to resurrect extinct species. Her careful research reveals that rather than opening up a limitless new field, these biologists’ own experimental tactics circularly determine the biological features, theories, and limits they fasten upon. Exploring the life sciences emblematic of our time, "Synthetic" tells the origin story of the astonishing claim that biological making fosters biological knowing.

Summary:
Odd Arne Westad and Chen Jian chronicle how an impoverished and terrorized China experienced radical political changes in the long 1970s and how ordinary people broke free from the beliefs that had shaped their lives during Mao’s Cultural Revolution. These changes, and the unprecedented and sustained economic growth that followed, transformed China and the world. In this rigorous account, Westad and Chen construct a panorama of catastrophe and progress in China. They chronicle China’s gradual opening to the world—the interplay of power in an era of aged and ailing leadership, the people’s rebellion against the earlier government system, and the roles of unlikely characters: overseas Chinese capitalists, American engineers, Japanese professors, and German designers. This is a story of revolutionary change that neither foreigners nor the Chinese themselves could have predicted. Hardcover edition.

Summary:
This catalogue documents an exhibition of large-scale paintings by Helen Frankenthaler made between 1960 and 1992, opening in spring 2026 at Gagosian’s West 21st Street gallery. Throughout her career, Frankenthaler pushed beyond the boundaries of easel painting to create extraordinary, monumental works, some of which occupied the entire expanse of her studio floor. This exhibition explores the artist’s use of scale across four decades of painting. The title is derived from a 1975 review by poet and critic Barbara Guest, where she remarks on Frankenthaler’s “astonishing combination of freedom with restraint, extravagance with discipline, suggestion and definition,” concluding, “the moment becomes the distance.” The book includes a new essay by art historian Ara H. Merjian that discusses the works in the show in the context of Frankenthaler’s Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist influences.

Summary:
One of America’s most historic political trials is undoubtedly that of Angela Davis. Opening with a letter from James Baldwin to Davis, and including contributions from numerous radicals such as Black Panthers George Jackson, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale and Erica Huggins, this book is not only an account of Davis’s incarceration and the struggles surrounding it, but also perhaps the most comprehensive and thorough analysis of the prison system of the United States. Since the book was written, the carceral system in the US has seen unprecedented growth, with more of America’s black population behind bars than ever before. The scathing analysis of the role of prison and the policing of black populations offered by Davis and her comrades in this astonishing volume remains as pertinent today as the day it was first published.

Tracing an unbroken line, the eye is guided from one sweeping landscape to the next without doubting their separateness in location and origin, showing the interconnectedness of distant environments, opening up conversations between the different (political) landscapes in which we live.
