Kassianidou’s books are not facsimiles or translations, rather the artist “re-reads” each text as a material object, focusing on the thousands of marks made by usage and time: notes, folds, creases, tears, stains, discolorations, and wormholes. She then traces around each mark by hand, one page at a time, and scans, prints, and binds her drawings into a series of simple black artist’s books, true to the original texts’ dimensions.

Submerged within the enchanting exhibition of Enmeshed, Dreams of Water, which ran at the NARS Foundation from October 6 to November 1, five remarkable artists—Keren Anavy, Jamie Martinez, Magdalena Dukiewicz, Sanie Bokharie, and Jonathan Ojekunle—crafted an immersive experience where fluidity and identity converged with elemental, and imagined currents of immigration. This exhibition resonated with the themes of transformative journeys, revealing the distinctive perspectives of each artist through their poignant paintings, and bizarre, sometimes abject, sculptures. From Jamie Martinez's dive into the cultural provenance of life under the sea, to Keren Anavy's intricate spatial storytelling, Enmeshed, Dreams of Water engaged with themes of identity, mythology, and the unpredictable complexities of being an immigrant artist.
