This publication was created on occasion of a dictionary, a loom, a manifesto, a note, a kite, a phone call, a class, a universe, an echo, a cube, a treehole, some wrapping paper, 3 poems, 6 drinks, 7 letters, 20 snakes, 24 words on personhood, and my mom — an exhibition by Chang Yuchen, staged at Printed Matter June 17 – August 30, 2026.

The 4-panel accordion fold booklet compiles Yuchen’s reflections on 18 publications created between 2012 and 2026, accompanied by new illustrations of these book works by the artist. A bottom-fold panel features coral fragments drawn from Yuchen’s long-term iterative project Coral Dictionary, with a Malay-Mandarin Chinese-English translation on the reverse.

Printed on 80# ColorMates Antique Rose, in color and white ink. The booklet pockets include three inserts on various stocks featuring the show title, exhibition details, and an inkjet print of Yuchen’s coral pieces ‘Language’ and ‘Mixed/Grafted’.
