Artist Rachel Jones's first publication, say cheeeeese, is published to accompany her new commission at Chisenhale Gallery, London, in spring 2022. For her first solo exhibition in an institution, she has developed her chosen materials of oil pastels and oil sticks to produce a new body of paintings on canvas and paper.

The publication will feature reproductions of new works by Jones alongside her photo essay. It also includes newly commissioned texts by poet and artist AnaΓ―s Duplan; Chisenhale Gallery Senior Curator, Ellen Greig; curator and researcher AΓ―cha Mehrez; poet, essayist, playwright, and MacArthur Fellow Claudia Rankine; and curator Yates Norton, with a foreword by Chisenhale Gallery Director, ZoΓ© Whitley.
