In a fit of inspiration or madness, Honey Luard and I cobbled together the first Companion in a mere month or two over summer of 2021, not quite knowing what it could or should be. Now, in more formal terms, we co-edit Companion, White Cube gallery’s annual reader, ‘a compilation of contemporary art and discourse. Visual essays, in-conversations, lectures, poetry, artist writings and newly commissioned texts are just some of the forms of creative expression and scholarship brought together in a single volume.’
