On the occasion of her exhibition, In the House of the Trembling Eye: an exhibition staged by Allison Katz, London-based Canadian artist Allison Katz has been exploring painting's relationship to expression, identity and voice for more than a decade. Through her paintings, posters, ceramics and installations, she addresses the ambiguity of subjectivity and its presentation. Developing out of a major exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary and Camden Art Centre (2021-22), Artery is part-catalogue, part-artist's book and part-treatise on what painting means today.

Strikingly designed, with 28 foldout pages and over 50 full-color image plates of the artist's work, the book features a visual essay by Katz alongside essays by Sam Thorne, former director of Nottingham Contemporary, and Martin Clark, director of Camden Art Centre.
