My Body Temperature is Feeling Good accompanies the exhibition of the same name featuring the work of British artist Milly Thompson (1964–2022), held at Goldsmiths CCA in the summer of 2025.
Part of the renowned artist group BANK, Milly Thompson went on to establish a solo practice as a prolific painter, sculptor, video artist and writer. This exhibition presents works from 2010 onwards in which, the catalogues says, 'she irreverently lampooned the hegemonic force of luxury consumer culture on women and celebrated the middle-aged female body for its libidinal power.'
The book features commissioned essays by writer and journalist Sally O'Reilly, and curator and researcher Linsey Young (previously curator of Contemporary British Art at Tate Britain) that explore Thompson's exhibition history, her as yet unpublished novel Near Witches, and diverse practice.
Also featured is a round table conversation with Emma Kay, Alison Jones, Gareth Jones and Des Lawrence, close friends of Thompson, in which they discuss her life and influences
