Wolkenbügel
How a visionary, never-realized architectural project, devised by one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists, shaped architectural culture in Europe between the world wars. After achieving international acclaim as a painter and designer, El Lissitzky set out in 1924 to convince the world—and himself—that he was also an architect. He did this with a project for a “horizontal skyscraper,” which he gave an obscure and untranslatable name: Wolkenbügel. Eight of these buildings, perched atop slender pillars, were intended to stand at major intersections along Moscow’s Boulevard Ring, integrating the flow of tramlines, subways, and elevators. In Wolkenbügel, Richard Anderson exp...
Federico Fellini
Federico Fellini professed a desire to create “an entire film made of immobile pictures.” In this study, Hava Aldouby uses this quotation as a launching point to analyze Fellini’s films as sequences of “pictures” that draw extensively on art history, and particularly painting, as a reservoir of visual imagery. Aldouby employs an innovative pictorial approach that allows her to uncover a wealth of visual evocations overlooked by Fellini scholars over the years. Federico Fellini: Painting in Film, Painting on Film sheds light on the intertextual links between Fellini’s films and the works of various artists, from Velazquez to Francis Bacon, by identifying references to specific paintings in his films. Using new archival evidence from Fellini’s private library, brought to light for the first time here, Aldouby draws out Fellini’s in-depth knowledge of art history and his systematic employment of art-historical allusions.

Mémoires 1967 - 2007
Il Centro sperimentale per l'arte contemporanea Sala 1, fondato da Tito Amodei nel 1967 a Roma nel complesso architettonico della Scala Santa, ripercorre i propri quaranta anni di vita attraverso le testimonianze dei protagonisti della vita culturale dello spazio. Una storia corale, polifonica, frutto d'intrecci di singole voci, veicoli di pensieri e di esperienze individuali che incontrandosi hanno delineato traiettorie e fughe, determinando, nel loro interagire per inclusione ed esclusione, il senso del proprio operato. La diacronia serrata dei singoli eventi di tanto in tanto rallenta il proprio ritmo per accogliere approfondimenti e racconti analitici, dei veri e propri zoom narrativi, nel tentativo di fornire ulteriori chiavi di lettura e di comprensione di un operare - tanto denso, quanto effimero - quale quello che caratterizza la nostra arte contemporanea. Con una appassionata prefazione di Toni Maraini.

2015
The special issue of International Yearbook of Futurism Studies for 2015 will investigate the role of Futurism in the œuvre of a number of Women artists and writers. These include a number of women actively supporting Futurism (e.g. Růžena Zátková, Edyth von Haynau, Olga Rozanova, Eva Kühn), others periodically involved with the movement (e.g. Valentine de Saint Point, Aleksandra Ekster, Mary Swanzy), others again inspired only by certain aspects of the movement (e.g. Natalia Goncharova, Alice Bailly, Giovanna Klien). Several artists operated on the margins of a Futurist inspired aesthetics, but they felt attracted to Futurism because of its support for women artists or because of its ...
