Conservation of Contemporary Art
This open access book investigates whether and how theoretical findings and insights in contemporary art conservation can be translated into the daily work practices of conservators or, vice versa, whether and how the problems and dilemmas encountered in conservation practice can inform broader research questions and projects. For several decades now, the conservation of contemporary art has been a dynamic field of research and reflection. Because of contemporary art’s variable constitution, its care and management calls for a fundamental rethinking of the overall research landscape of museums, heritage institutions, private-sector organizations and universities. At first, this research was primarily pursued by conservation professionals working in or with museums and other heritage organizations, but increasingly academic researchers and universities became involved, for instance through collaborative projects. This book is the result of such collaboration. It sets out to bridge the “gap” between theory and practice by investigating conservation practices as a form of reflection and reflection as a form of practice.
Lucio Fontana
Lucio Fontana (1899–1968), a major figure of postwar European art, blurred numerous boundaries in his life and his work. Moving beyond the slashed canvases for which he is renowned, this book takes a fresh look at Fontana’s innovations in painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and installation art. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana} Fontana was an important figure in both Italy and his native Argentina, where he pushed the painterly into the sculptural and redefined the relationship between mediums. Archival images of environments, public commissions, installations, and now-destroyed pieces accompany lavish illustrations of his work from 1930 to the late 1960s, providing a new approach to an artist who helped define the political, cultural, and technological thresholds of the mid-twentieth century.
Joan Jonas
Joan Jonas emerged in a rich and experimental 1960s New York art scene that included such luminaries as Richard Serra, Gordon Matta-Clark, John Cage, Philip Glass, and Merce Cunningham. Since that time Jonas has gained a peerless status as a pioneer of performance and video. Jonas's work typically encompasses video, performance, installation, sound, text, and drawing. Defying easy categorization, it engages with complex ideas of ritual, myth, and storytelling. In recent years Jonas has also become increasingly engaged with environmental issues, focusing on the animal world and the vulnerability of our planet. This new publication includes an introduction to Jonas's practice and brings together selected conversations from the last fourteen years, in which the artist talks about her interdisciplinary approach as well as the influences and impulses she has absorbed from literature, music, traditional Japanese Noh theater, and the rituals of foreign cultures.

ANNO 2022 LA CULTURA ED I MEDIA QUINTA PARTE
Antonio Giangrande, orgoglioso di essere diverso. ODIO OSTENTAZIONE, IMPOSIZIONE E MENZOGNA. Si nasce senza volerlo. Si muore senza volerlo. Si vive una vita di prese per il culo. Tu esisti se la tv ti considera. La Tv esiste se tu la guardi. I Fatti son fatti oggettivi naturali e rimangono tali. Le Opinioni sono atti soggettivi cangianti. Le opinioni se sono oggetto di discussione ed approfondimento, diventano testimonianze. Ergo: Fatti. Con me le Opinioni cangianti e contrapposte diventano fatti. Con me la Cronaca diventa Storia. Noi siamo quello che altri hanno voluto che diventassimo. Facciamo in modo che diventiamo quello che noi avremmo (rafforzativo di saremmo) voluto diventare. Rappresentare con verità storica, anche scomoda ai potenti di turno, la realtà contemporanea, rapportandola al passato e proiettandola al futuro. Per non reiterare vecchi errori. Perché la massa dimentica o non conosce. Denuncio i difetti e caldeggio i pregi italici. Perché non abbiamo orgoglio e dignità per migliorarci e perché non sappiamo apprezzare, tutelare e promuovere quello che abbiamo ereditato dai nostri avi. Insomma, siamo bravi a farci del male e qualcuno deve pur essere diverso!
L’archivio del Regio Istituto delle Signore Montalve alla Quiete di Firenze
Il Regio Istituto delle Signore Montalve alla Quiete nasce a cavallo tra il 1885 ed il 1886, in seguito all’unione delle due congregazioni fondate dalla venerabile Eleonora Ramirez de Montalvo: le e le Montalve alla Quiete. Da loro eredita i principi e l’azione educativa svolta per oltre due secoli, portandoli alle soglie del nuovo millennio. In questo inventario analitico vengono descritte le carte prodotte dal nuovo Istituto. Il nucleo relativo all’educazione femminile è solo una delle materie che questo archivio può offrire: le trasformazioni architettoniche e sociali, le due guerre mondiali, usi e costumi della popolazione danno conto del vasto campo di ricerca offerto e del quadro storico toscano che le carte disegnano in maniera ben definita.

Trisha Baga
The debut monograph on one of the most innovative video-makers of her generation, conceived as a sci-fi narrative This volume presents the innovative work of New York-based filmmaker and video artist Trisha Baga (born 1985) and is published in conjunction with her solo show theeye, theeye & theear at the Pirelli HangarBicocca site in Milan. Her works combine different languages and mediums, drawing upon TV, cinema and amateur videos to investigate topics such as gender identity and the relationship between the real and the digital worlds. The catalog is conceived as a sci-fi narration that expands on the artist's personal universe: structured like a mise en abyme, the volume links excerpts of writings from the scientific, literary and artistic worlds with various critical texts. In addition, this volume contains extensive photo documentation of the show in Milan and a complete filmography by the artist.
Support Structures
"Support structures is a manual for what bears, sustains, props and holds up. It is the culminations of many endeavours. The first is the collaborative project "Support Structures" by Céline Condorelli and Gavin Wade from 2003-2009. The second is a critical enquiry by Condorelli that exposes an almost complete absence of literature or theory of what constitutes "support". This book is itself articulated as a supporting structure, a manual for engagement in and with its subject, which attempts both functionally and structurally to operate much like it." -- Foreword.
