Published between 2017 and 2024, the STATEMENTS essay series served as a vehicle to publish on themes at the heart of the Len Lye Centre. Intended to alternate annually between writing by Len Lye and contemporary writing sympathetic to the Centre's programming, STATEMENTS issued several of Lye's most important pieces of writing (several previously unpublished) and important contemporary texts in the realm of cinema, animation and sculpture.
Back-to-back coverage in the Times Literary Supplement for the first two titles was a highlight of the Series (likely a first for a publisher in New Zealand). Similarly, several titles required two to three print runs to satisfy demand.
The titles in the series are:
Individual Happiness Now (Len Lye)
An Oceanic Feeling: Cinema and the Sea (Erika Balsom)
Tangible/Intangible: The Sound of Sculpture (Caleb Kelly)
Poems (Len Lye)
Art That Moves (Len Lye)
Graphite: Animated Traces (Alla Gadassik)
