In 2017, Fogo Island Arts published Edgar Leciejewski: Tones as part of the monograph series.

Edgar Leciejewski: Tones presents work created by the Leipzig-based artist during his six-month residency with Fogo Island Arts, which included a massive grid of 169 photographs of Fogo Island sunsets, photographic collages, and a large-scale composite photograph of a bookcase. The exhibition also featured are a series of precarious sculptures composed of broken crockery, glass, and other debris tossed into the sea over the 200 years of island settlement that the artist collected along the seashore. At play within those works were attempts to reconcile seemingly opposing forces or phenomena, to incorporate the infinite within the specific, or to archive, stretch and condense our experience of time.

This publication accompanies the exhibition Tones, which was curated by Alexandra McIntosh and Nicolaus Schafhausen and presented at the Fogo Island Gallery from May 14 to December 12, 2015. The volume features critical texts by Bill Arning and Zoë Gray, a conversation between Edgar Leciejewski and Nicolaus Schafhausen, and is lavishly illustrated with original colour photography and installation views.
