"Tempest" dives deeply into the artistic personality of Eva Marisaldi, via both his artworks and his writings, published here for the first time. Featuring installations, videos and drawings that the artist has created since 1988 alongside two critical essays.
Il volume è dedicato all'opera di Eva Marisaldi, una tra le artiste più rilevanti della generazione nata negli anni Sessanta. Caratterizzate da una lirica vena narrativa, le opere di Marisaldi prendono spunto dalla realtà per concentrarsi sugli aspetti nascosti della nostra quotidianità. Fotografie, azioni, performance, video, animazioni, installazioni alternate a tecniche più tradizionali e artigianali come il disegno e il ricamo, ci trasportano in dimensioni altre, dove tutto può succedere e dove tutto rimane sospeso. Quello evocato dal titolo è un trasporto ipotetico, metaforico, eccezionale nei mondi creati da Eva Marisaldi, popolati da suoni, narrazioni, emozioni, gioco e poesia, riferimenti al teatro, al cinema e alla letteratura, ma anche da viaggi che esplorano con la stessa curiosità territori lontani e complessità dell'essere.
Ce volume présente l'exposition d'Eva Marisaldi (Bologne, 1966), conçue pour la Casa Goldoni à l'occasion de la 60e Biennale d'art de Venise. Partant de son aptitude à la réflexion et à l'analyse de son environnement, Eva Marisaldi crée des micro-narrations où les analogies et les contrastes l'emportent sur l'essentialité du récit. À travers une variété articulée de modes d'expression - installation, plastique, graphisme, vidéo - le projet met en dialogue le parcours de l'auteur vénitien Carlo Goldoni avec celui de l'artiste, permettant ainsi l'émergence d'une série d'affinités opérationnelles et intellectuelles surprenantes entre les deux interprètes. La publication rassemble une série d'œuvres originales, différentes par leur technique et leur typologie, mais unies par une source d'inspiration commune : l'auteur dont l'institution muséale porte le nom et son activité dans le domaine du théâtre, ainsi que dans le monde de la performance et de la représentation scénique en général.

The book examines the contemporary art system with a broad and systematic approach, through the application of models of microeconomics and industrial organizations. By breaking down the traditional barriers between different academic disciplines such as art and economics, this book offers a unique opportunity to grasp the complexities of the contemporary art world and provides the tools to conduct a structural analysis of that market. The result is an in-depth analysis of the contemporary art market from an interdisciplinary perspective. While it is not a textbook in the strictest sense, the book offers a concise and effective overview of all actors in the art system, and provides supporting data and valuable information, both conceptual and practical. It is therefore a text that can be used by students wishing to better understand the complex dynamics that govern the contemporary art market, but also by cultural managers, collectors, potential art investors or simply art lovers who need a quick reference.
While currently identitarian ideologies and essentialist notions of identity that tend to simplify and reduce life experience to simple factors are globally regaining massive attention, it becomes inevitable to recollect the thorough discussions of identity concepts of the past three decades. It also calls for an ever keener awareness of and capacity to deal with the complexity and diversity of the world we live in. Artists play a major role in the potential reflection and transformation of perceptions and conceptions of the world – musicians, dancers, choreographers, spoken word artists, performance artists, actors, also fine art, installation, media artists or photographers alike. “Per...
Global biennials have proliferated in the contemporary art world, but artists’ engagement with large-scale international exhibitions has a much longer history that has influenced the present in important ways. Going back to the earliest world’s fairs in the nineteenth century, this book argues that “globalism” was incubated in a century of international art contests and today constitutes an important tactic for artists. As world’s fairs brought millions of attendees into contact with foreign cultures, products, and processes, artworks became juxtaposed in a “theater of nations,” which challenged artists and critics to think outside their local academies. From Gustave Courbet’...
