Please join us at Midway on Friday, September 26 at 6:30 pm for the launch of Crater Speak: Notes on Erasure, the final volume in Jasper Marsalis’ catalog series. This concluding edition follows two earlier, sold-out releases: Crater Speak, published in 2019 alongside his Midway exhibition ♪ A star like any other—, and Crater Speak a revised second edition produced prior to the opening of his 2020 Midway Off-Site project, Stadium.

Jasper Marsalis (b.1995, Los Angeles) lives and works in London, UK. Working across painting, sculpture, music and text, Marsalis elaborates a parallel between the space of painting and a performer on stage, both of which entail an experience of being consumed by audiences.

At 7:00 pm, Marsalis and Jonathon Rosemond, artist and Midway’s Programming Assistant, will have a conversation, followed by a book signing. Copies of Crater Speak: Notes on Erasure will be available for purchase at the event for $35.

For those unable to attend in person, the conversation will be live-streamed via Midway’s Instagram @midwayart.

Copies of Crater Speak: Notes on Erasure will be available for purchase at the event on September 26 and online at midwayart.org starting at 10:00 am on Monday, September 29.
