In the Survey, Mark Godfrey weaves the artist’s primary themes – sound and language, absence and presence, repetition – into a celebration of the work’s ‘inbetweenness’. Hans Ulrich Obrist conducts his most extensive interview to date with Sala, covering the artist’s early career, the innovative display features of his recent exhibitions, and his latest – and in some ways most ambitious – project. Liam Gillick's Focus centres on Sala’s 2004 film Now I See, a music video of sorts that deftly defies expectations. In the Artist’s Choice, two poems by Albanian poet Ervin Hatibi recall the inscrutable immediacy of Sala’s own work. Artist’s Writings include project notes on several of Anri Sala’s key works, the subtitles from his 2004 video Làk-kat and extracts from an ongoing conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist that spans Sala’s artistic career.
