"Che cosa è l'arte non lo so dire" - ha scritto Fabio Mauri - "ma che cos'è un'opera d'arte sì." L'opera d'arte quale luogo d'identità, come la storia entro la quale si colloca il nostro esistere. È il luogo d'identità per eccellenza è la storia entro la quale si colloca il nostro esistere. E per Mauri, nato nel 1926, la storia è quella della Seconda guerra mondiale, appena passata e ancora presente e attuale, solco indelebile, da cui trarre grandiose immagini, tramite continue commistioni di mezzi e materiali: dalle tele bianche degli anni 50, alle performance teatrali, sino alle installazioni e alle proiezioni su supporti sempre diversi. Tutta la poetica di Mauri, di altissimo valore etico oltre che estetico, estrae, dal flusso ininterrotto della storia, oggetti che divengono memoria indelebile della nostra esistenza.
Before Or After, at the Same Time
A reexamination of postwar Italian visual culture through the life of artist and critic Fabio Mauri This book takes the life of the Italian multimedia artist and writer Fabio Mauri (born 1926) and the history of his family--a publishing dynasty with close connections to radical Italian art, poetry, cinema, philosophy and literature--as a starting point for a reexamination of the forces shaping Italian visual culture between the end of the Second World War and the "Years of Lead. Before or After, at the Same Time combines commissioned essays and first person accounts with translated writings from the period to explore the ideas circulating in Rome and Milan in the 1950s and '60s. In doing so, it provides an alternative, anecdotal and partial perspective on a turbulent period, drawing attention to the pivotal personal and professional networks that shaped postwar Italian art. Particular focus is given to the relationship between the American and Italian art scenes in the intersection of different artistic disciplines, and the influence of Roman and Milanese cultures on the artists working in the cities.

Absence / Presence
Since the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and recognition of the Holocaust as a watershed event of the twentieth century, if not in Western Civilization itself, the capacity of art to represent this event adequately has been questioned. As it analyzes a cross section of Holocaust art within the context of art history, Absence / Presence addresses the discussion head on and explores the interchange between media and horror. The book's contributors include case studies from a broad spectrum of artists in North America, Europe, and Israel to examine some of the more dominant themes in these artists' work. In addition to standard readings of Holocaust art, the essays help illuminate t...
Against the Avant-garde
"This book casts the poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini in a fresh light: his life and work in relation to the visual and performance arts of his time in both Europe and the US. Lavishly illustrated with both documentary and fine art images, it shows how essentially conservative Pasolini was politically and aesthetically despite his reputation as an avant-garde writer and filmmaker. But it also shows how truly advanced Pasolini was when it comes to interdisciplinary art, making him enormously relevant today"--
The Black Mediterranean
This edited volume aims to problematise and rethink the contemporary European migrant crisis in the Central Mediterranean through the lens of the Black Mediterranean. Bringing together scholars working in geography, political theory, sociology, and cultural studies, this volume takes the Black Mediterranean as a starting point for asking and answering a set of crucial questions about the racialized production of borders, bodies, and citizenship in contemporary Europe: what is the role of borders in controlling migrant flows from North Africa and the Middle East?; what is the place for black bodies in the Central Mediterranean context?; what is the relevance of the citizenship in reconsidering black subjectivities in Europe? The volume will be divided into three parts. After the introduction, which will provide an overview of the theoretical framework and the individual contributions, Part I focuses on the problem of borders, Part II features essays focused on the body, and Part III is dedicated to citizenship.
Dreamlands
A fascinating survey of pioneering work in experimental cinema and art from 1905 to the present day, revealing the high stakes and transformative potential of these forms This generously illustrated publication surveys the work of filmmakers and artists who have pushed the material and conceptual boundaries of cinema. Over the past century, the material, optical, abstract, spatial, and tactile properties of film have been tested at a level of experimentation and utopian ambition that is generally unrecognized. Whether creating synesthetic or 3-D environments, projective or non-projective installations, generations of leading-edge artists have explored how technology transforms experience. Th...
