Self-portrait
Recorded and transcribed throughout the 1960s, Carla Lonzi's Self-portrait ruptures the linear tradition of art-historical writing. Lonzi first abolishes the role of the critic, her own, seeking change over self-preservation by theorising against the act of theorising. This is the voice of feminist experimentalism in Italian art and literature, and here Lonzi speaks for herself in English. Self-portrait montages her verbatim conversations with fourteen prominent artists working at the time, all men except one. Lonzi's vital feeling that it was impossible to respond professionally to the political and existential problems embedded in the production and distribution of artworks drives the book's contingent structure. Artmaking struck Lonzi as the invitation to be together in a humanly satisfying way. This first English translation brings Lonzi's final work of criticism before her break with 'art' to an international audience. Her uncompromising enactment and pragmatic drop-out discontinues the narration of postwar modern art in Italy and beyond.
Popular and Visual Culture
Popular and Visual Culture: Design, Circulation and Consumption is a transnational project that fosters a dialogue with multiple origins, both in geographical and academic terms. From the onset, this book questions the concepts of visual and popular culture, terms which are currently applied both to describe scientific fields, as operative concepts in theoretical discourse, and to characterize specific cultural contexts. The book’s analysis and categorization of visual and popular culture pursues discourses and practices which mark different historical eras and shape social orders. Because popular iconic and written productions are the outcome of a network of political, economic, ideologic...
Atmospheres of Projection
"Following on the success of Surface, Bruno's previous book with us, in this new one she explores the act and art of "projection" in its manifold guises and what those can tell us about how we think and feel and create the world we inhabit. This is not just an exploration of the psychological operation of "projection"-the idea that we cast onto others the qualities we refuse to acknowledge in ourselves. It is a major work of cultural history and media archaeology. As a way to transform space and atmosphere, projection has a long history in the arts, dating back to shadow plays, camera obscuras, magic lantern shows, and phantasmagoria. But the atmosphere of projection is not a thing of the pa...

A proposito dell'inizio
Una concatenazione di esemplificazioni e testimonianze che descrivono l’opera d’arte come un punto di inizio che è insieme esposizione di un incompiuto e parte di un processo. Cosa muove l’opera d’arte e cosa muove la sua conoscenza? Da quale esperienza è sostenuto il lavoro di un artista e quale rapporto si viene a stabilire tra esperienza ed estetica? Attraverso riferimenti tratti dalla storia dell’arte del Novecento, fino alle pratiche più attuali, il testo interroga una pluralità di dinamiche possibili, mediante le quali l’atto poetico si presenta come un elemento in costante divenire.

Reflections on Critical Museology
Reflections on Critical Museology: Inside and Outside Museums offers a reflective and reflexive re-assessment of museum studies and the first wide-ranging account of critical museology. Drawing on an extensive range of examples from museums and across the museological literature, which are purposefully representative of very different cultural backgrounds, the book issues a plea for critical thinking in and about museums. The various institutions covered and the plural analytical standpoints offer a broad interdisciplinary approach by intermingling art history, anthropology, sociocultural theories and heritage studies. The result is not claimed as a universal or all-encompassing account but ...
Time Is Out of Joint. Il Progetto Espositivo. La Galleria Nazionale, Roma. Ediz. Italiana E Inglese
Time is Out of Joint' presents the heritage of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome in light of the new installation curated by its director Cristiana Collu. A revolutionary exhibition plan that has greatly modified the public's fruition of the museum, on the one hand supporting the spatiality of the place and highlighting its architecture, and on the other unhinging the traditional chronological reading of the works in favour of an open path which suggests unprecedented relationships between works, and which enhances the ever-changing point of view of the observer.0The volume, which includes two critical essays, fifteen speeches and an interview with the director, is part of the lively debate aroused by the museum's innovation, and offers the best tool to understand the criteria that guided its implementation. Fernando Guerra's extensive portfolio visually accompanies the reader through the museum's rooms.00Exhibition: National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rome, Italy (11.10.2017-15.04.2018).
Portrait
This book examines the practice of portraits as a way in to grasping the paradoxes of subjectivity. To Nancy, the portrait is suspended between likeness and strangeness, identity and distance, representation and presentation, exactitude and forcefulness. It can identify an individual, but it can also express the dynamics by means of which its subject advances and withdraws. The book consists of two extended essays written a decade apart but in close conversation, in which Nancy considers the range of aspirations articulated by the portrait. Heavily illustrated, it includes a newly written preface bringing the two essays together and a substantial Introduction by Jeffrey Librett, which places...
