Vleeshal presented the publication Sample Book by Katie Schwab on October 29.
Katie Schwab: Sample Book is the first institutional publication on the practice of the artist Katie Schwab. Copublished by Vleeshal and Dent-De-Leone, Sample Book provides deep insight into the period between 2020 and 2021 in which the artist created new work, especially for her exhibition small wares at the Vleeshal. The book brings together a selection of essays, an interview, a shape poem and a short story, which together chart how Katie Schwab’s research into Dutch darning samplers as well as processes of repair in textiles and civic architecture came to underpin a dynamic new body of sculptural works.
On October 29 we launched this unique publication at San Serriffe in Amsterdam. During the launch, artist Katie Schwab and curator Clare Molloy presented the book and told more about the creation of this special publication.

For decades Vleeshal is invested in the development of publications. Books published by Vleeshal are internationally appreciated for their experimental content and form. At Vleeshal, a publication is never 'merely' about documentation of a past exhibition, but rather about creating an 'extension' of an artistic project, generating meaning in the present, and thus allowing the project to live on after the exhibition.
Vleeshal publishes monographs, critical analyses, catalogues and books on artists who have exhibited at the Vleeshal. It works with international publishers and distributors, including Hatje Cantz, Walther König and Sternberg Press, to expand the reach of its independent and small-scale publications. Visit our Shop to buy one of our publications.
This project was made possible by the generous support of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the Arts Council England, and the Municipality of Middelburg.
