Lines towards Another is the first anthology on the work of Australian contemporary artist Tom Nicholson. Spanning drawing, sculpture, public actions, sound, installation, video, and performance, Nicholson's work since the 1990s has engaged with critical questions around history, politics, narrative, and representation. Informed by the colonial history of Australia, and motivated by the work of Aboriginal Australian activists, his practice at its most fundamental level examines the role of images and monuments as both catalysts and potential barriers for the creation of histories, reimagining their forms through modes of commemoration. Presenting new research on the artist and providing an unprecedented overview of two decades of work, the book features eleven essays and two interviews, alongside richly illustrated project pages and texts by the artist.

Dlhopripravovaná kniha o kauze Gorila a korupčných škandáloch, ktoré už niekoľko týždňov rezonujú celým Slovenskom. Autorom knihy je slovensko-kanadský novinár Tom Nicholson. “Chcem do toho celého priniesť kontext a vysvetlenie vzniku Gorily, lebo to, čo je na internete, nie je pôvodný spis. Prvá časť, ktorá sa označuje ako vývoj, prvých päť strán, je niečo, čo niekto vymyslel. To nie je súčasť Gorily. V knihe sú isté korekcie a vysvetlenia a chcem tiež poukázať na to, že skoro všetci politici sú súčasťou problému, ktorý máme na Slovensku,” povedal pre denník Pravda o knihe sám Tom Nicholson. Kniha odkrýva pozadie finančných machinácií a korupcie na najvyšších politických miestach.
