Companion, White Cube gallery’s annual reader, is a compilation of contemporary art and discourse. Visual essays, in-conversations, lectures, poetry, artist writings and newly commissioned texts are just some of the forms of creative expression and scholarship brought together in a single volume. 

Highlights include polemical artist writing from the archive of Richard Hunt; a first-time translation of Takis in conversation with Félix Guattari; research notes and personal reflections by Tiona Nekkia McClodden; newly commissioned writing on Etel Adnan by Quinn Latimer and Christian Marclay by Briony Fer; a close reading on a lesser known Jackson Pollock work by the late David Anfam; and visual essays by Sergej Jensen, Danica Lundy, TARWUK and Danh Vo that, each in their own way, recontextualise artistic practice.

Featuring archival materials, focus pieces and new writing, this lavishly illustrated volume convenes critical, scholarly and poetic voices. Reflective of White Cube’s activities, Companion is an essential record of contemporary art and writing.
