2013

In 2013, Fogo Island Arts published Kate Newby: Let the other thing in as part of the monograph series.

Kate Newby: Let the other thing in was printed to accompany Newby’s 2013 exhibition at the Fogo Island Gallery, where on a low-lying platform in the gallery, the artist placed groupings of kiln-fired rocks and sticks that she had made while living on Fogo Island. Newby assigned each of the groups a title, suggesting there was a system at work. The artist derived this from a similar preference Fogo Islanders have for assigning names to places, landmarks, and things.

Let the other thing in was presented in the Fogo Island Gallery from June 27 to September 8, 2013 and was curated by Nicolaus Schafhausen. The full colour book is co-published by Fogo Island Arts and Sternberg Press (Berlin) and features Kate Newby interviewed by Mami Kataoka, an essay by Jennifer Kabat, and a conversation between Newby, geologist Paul Dean, and strategist Daniel Wong. The book also features photos of Newby’s Skim Stone, a series of photos by the artist of people skimming her ceramic stones into various bodies of water, where they presumably take on a different life within a difficult to fathom timeframe.
