This invited public lecture took place in the Art and Art History Department, the University of Texas at Austin. The talk focused on three of Joseph-Lester's published works: 'Walking Cities: London' (2016), 'The Dallas Pavilion' (2013) and 'Revisiting the Bonaventure Hotel' (2012). The talk was scheduled as a response to the removal of books from the library and provided a context for a wider discussion regarding the role of publications in art practice. Joseph-Lester has been invited to exhibit a new book work at the Visual Arts Centre in Austin in April 2019.
