Lyn Liu: H-Dropping

On the occasion of the exhibition, Kasmin Books ​​has published the accompanying artist’s book Lyn Liu: H-Dropping. The publication features an original text, which is written without the letter H, ​by critic and essayist Jenny Wu.

Conceived by the artist to push the expectations of the traditional exhibition catalogue, all 11 reproduced artworks have been overlaid with a ​t​​hermochromic ink​. When in contact with a heat source, the ink disappears​ to reveal​ the paintings beneath. ​The sensitivity of this ink ​is designed to degrade over time, ultimately rendering the book a ​n​on-function​i​ng object​ ​akin to those ​s​een in Liu’s paintings.
