Colors
"The most elegant of all art critic cowboys" --Spike Art Magazine Color beams at us from the everyday, but within each of the ten million shades are hidden our best and worst stories. Colors is a lyrical field guide to the richly textured and depthless stories of color. This exuberant, sometimes haunting collection of histories, poetry, criticism, fictions, memoir, and myths examines with heartbreaking beauty the individual shades that make up a rainbow. With tough and tender grace, Berardini takes us on a passionate and compelling journey into the deepest soul and brightest edges of this fundamental subject with extraordinary poetry vision.
Clinic of Phantasms
Artist, gallerist, and writer Giovanni Intra’s inventive approach to art writing provides a guide to the New Zealand and Los Angeles art scenes of his era. Everything you read about Los Angeles is true. The city adapts to its own mythology. It’s such a ludicrously discussed place that I always feel slightly idiotic in my attempts to produce a serious discourse about it. Raves in the desert, however, are superb. And ecstasy is a great drug. Also, if you hadn’t heard, music sounds better when you’re high. And the desert surrounding LA is wondrous. —Giovanni Intra, “LA Politics” Before his early death in 2002, Giovanni Intra enjoyed a rollercoaster ride through the art world. He w...

Views on the Mississippi
"Henry Peter Bosse (1844-1903) is now recognized as the leading photographer of the Mississippi River during the late nineteenth century: he extensively photographed the Upper Mississippi from 1883 to 1893, a time of unprecedented environmental and social change. His work was practically unknown until five separate volumes of his photographs were discovered within the past decade. Since then, his photographs have been exhibited at the Smithsonian and other national museums and purchased by private art collectors around the world." "Views on the Mississippi brings together for the first time almost one hundred of Bosse's most stunning images. These photographs, tracing the river from Minneapo...
Desert Interviews, Or, How to Jump Off the Roof and Not Hit the Ground
Piero Golia founded in 2005, with his long-time friend Eric Wesley, the Mountain School of Arts, an educational structure that rapidly became a new spot on the cultural map of the city of Los Angeles. This book, composed of discussions between artists, presents a kind of report on this unique 'institution': teaching methods, academic syllabus, and students' selection are here explained with metaphors, compared with artistic interaction, and equated to performances. Not unlike Golia's work itself, the development of the school and its program follow a poetic of the gesture, of the instant, and of actions recalling Fluxus, Gino de Dominicis' or Paul McCarthy's works. Published with Fundación/Colección Jumex, Mexico.
The Lulennial II: A Low-Hanging Fruit. Ediz. illustrata
This is the book accompanying the second iteration of the Lulennial, a biennial exhibition mired in paradox, taking place not every two year, and occupying in total 21 square meters of space, at Lulu, in Mexico City. The twenty-two artists were invited to show work that touched one subject matter: fruit. Fruit seems to almost always bring out the comedian in artists, but just as often the alleged humor is a vehicle for serious feelings. With Yuji Agematsu, Kelly Akashi, Deyra Akay, Nina Beier, Luis Miguel Bendaña, Meriem Bennani, Matthew Brannon, Donna Conlon & Jonathan Harker, Jef Geys, Rodrigo Hernandez, Allison Katz, Adriana Lara, Nancy Lupo, Nevine Mahmoud, Aliza Nisenbaum, Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa, Shimabuku, Peter Shire, Gabriel Sierra, Erika Verzutti, Amelie von Wulffen, Maja Vukoje.00Exhibition: Lulu, Mexico City, Mexico (6.2. - 1.4.2018).
I Like Your Work
The art world is now both socially professional and professionally social. Curators visit artists’ studios; collectors, dealers, and journalists assemble for a reception, exchange introductions and small talk; art is bought and sold; careers (and friendships) brighten or fade. In each situation, certain behaviors are expected while others are silently discouraged. Sometimes, what's appropriate in the real world would be catastrophic in the art world, and vice versa. Making these distinctions on the spot can be nerve-wracking and disastrous. So we asked ourselves: What is the place of etiquette in art? Since we don't have all the answers, we politely asked our friends for some help.
