The paintings in \u003ci\u003eTalking Doorways\u003c\/i\u003e represent empty rooms where painted phrases cross thresholds, trailed by linear bands that suggest both beams of light and the soundwaves of speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBinding two exhibition catalogues together in opposite orientations, the tête-bêche format includes a front cover, plates, installation photography, and a checklist for each show. An enclosed booklet contains an essay by Christian House tracing the connections between these exhibitions and the work of the Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi, as well as an interview between Ruscha and explorer Erling Kagge about silence, slowness, and the self-discovery that worldly exploration can nurture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gagosian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67866388922670,"sku":"GGI\/CMS_ERUSC34","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1503\/0621\/files\/ruscha-says-i-to-myself-cover1.jpg?v=1793289212","url":"https:\/\/gagosianshop.com\/products\/ed-ruscha-says-i-to-myself-says-i-talking-doorways-book","provider":"Gagosian Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
