Published by the Renaissance Society, Ghislaine Leung: Holdings (2015-2025) is a new book that reflects on ten years of the London-based artist’s work. Central to Leung’s practice are concise “scores,” written descriptions that outline the materials and implementation of work, which an institution then interprets and performs in conversation with the artist. This publication grows out of Leung’s exhibition Holdings at the Renaissance Society in 2024, which debuted a set of new scores, but ultimately it looks far beyond it. 

For the first time in one place, Leung offers a comprehensive list of her scores, plus the non-score works that have punctuated her exhibitions. An extensive image section documents many of the scores’ iterations as they have been repeated in different places. In these pages, Leung also shares what she calls her “sub-scores,” a set of personal instructions or self-imposed conditions that have never been published before. These terms, conceived solely for the artists herself, guide her work and her terms of engagement, while helping make room for a life beyond art.

Holdings (2015-2025) offers a more expansive view of Leung’s work than any publication so far, but its aim is not to provide a definitive survey. This volume offers an ample but knowingly provisional introduction to Leung’s work, while exploring the fundamental mutability and non-fixity of her scores. There is still plenty to see and read, including new writings by a number of people who know her and her work well. The book features essays by Hettie Judah, Mike Sperlinger, Eleanor Ivory Weber, and Renaissance Society curator Karsten Lund, as well as a lively conversation between Bruce Hainley, Karsten Lund, Ramaya Tegegne, and Helena Vilalta.
