Castellani e Castellani is a special exhibition of both new and seminal work by Enrico Castellani, one of Italy's most influential artists.The show features new paintings that continue the dialogue set forth in his formative Angolare series as well as present his critically acclaimed Spazio Ambiente, a roomlike environment from 1970 that has rarely been exhibited publicly, and which is graciously on loan from the Fendi collection.Although created decades apart, the works exemplify Castellani's signature style and merge art, space and architecture to transcend the confines of painting.Formally trained as an architect, Castellani focuses on manipulating the surface configurations of his canvases to alter perceptions of space. In a recent interview with the artist, Hans Ulrich Obrist described Castellani's break from traditionally conceived paintings as 'an epiphany'.Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Hanuch of Venison, New York, 11 November 2011 - 7 January 2012.
Enrico Castellani was born in Castelmassa (Rovigo) in 1930. He began his artistic career in the milieu of Informale though he soon broke away from this movement. In 1959-60, in Milan, he and Piero Manzoni founded the magazine and art gallery Azimuth, which looked to the rationalist, analytic and constructivist climate emerging on the international scene. Castellani, who was specifically interested in the relation between space and light, did not hesitate to modify the actual structure of the picture, thus creating surfaces modulated by a rhythm of volumes and voids that may be constant or infinitely varied. This is the most extensive book published to date on the figure and oeuvre of Castellani. It analyzes his early 1958 drawings and canvases, his subsequent major installations and his recent works dating from 1992.
A career-spanning anthology of essays on politics and culture by the best-selling author of The Flamethrowers includes entries discussing a Palestinian refugee camp, an illegal Baja Peninsula motorcycle race, and the 1970s Fiat factory wildcat strikes.

Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity—artists colonize a deserted and industrial SoHo, stage actions in the East Village, blur the line between life and art. Reno is submitted to a sentimental education of sorts—by dreamers, poseurs, and raconteurs in New York and by radicals in Italy, where she goes with her lover to meet his estranged and formidable family. Ardent, vulnerable, and bold, Reno is a fiercely memorable observer, superbly realized by Rachel Kushner.
An account of a major international art movement originating in the former Yugoslavia in the 1960s, which anticipated key aspects of information aesthetics. New Tendencies, a nonaligned modernist art movement, emerged in the early 1960s in the former Yugoslavia, a nonaligned country. It represented a new sensibility, rejecting both Abstract Expressionism and socialist realism in an attempt to formulate an art adequate to the age of advanced mass production. In this book, Armin Medosch examines the development of New Tendencies as a major international art movement in the context of social, political, and technological history. Doing so, he traces concurrent paradigm shifts: the change from F...
How artists' magazines, in all their ephemerality, materiality, and temporary intensity, challenged mainstream art criticism and the gallery system. During the 1960s and 1970s, magazines became an important new site of artistic practice, functioning as an alternative exhibition space for the dematerialized practices of conceptual art. Artists created works expressly for these mass-produced, hand-editioned pages, using the ephemerality and the materiality of the magazine to challenge the conventions of both artistic medium and gallery. In Artists' Magazines, Gwen Allen looks at the most important of these magazines in their heyday (the 1960s to the 1980s) and compiles a comprehensive, illustr...
