Cuba Talks
A stunning visual survey of the arts scene of Cuba since the 1980s, this is a must-have book for all contemporary art lovers. This unique volume describes how powerful the Cuban art experience has become, especially after the emergence of Cuba's strong generation of young creatives on the Latin American art scene in the 1980s. It includes twenty-eight artists selected by the curators and introduced through contributions and interviews. Today, many of the contemporary Cuban artists can be found in the collections of some of the world's premier museums and art galleries. Now that Cuba and the United States have opened a new chapter in their relations, Cuban art is poised to be the next big thing in the art world.
Economia dell'arte
La trasformazione digitale impone di rivedere il contesto economico e giuridico delle opere d’arte e dei beni culturali. Facendo leva sul concetto di responsabilità culturale nei confronti della valorizzazione del patrimonio artistico, il volume analizza le dinamiche più tradizionali, insieme a quelle più innovative, del mercato dell’arte, definendo nuovi paradigmi giuridici per l’interpretazione di mutati contesti economici. Approfondisce, inoltre, le scelte compiute dagli operatori del settore culturale (collezionisti, imprese, artisti, case d’aste, gallerie, enti fieristici, istituzioni bancarie e finanziarie, musei e istituzioni pubbliche, consulenti), ponendole in relazione con la corrispondente analisi giuridica dei rapporti commerciali, dando origine a una sorta di «branca del diritto dell’arte». Il volume, infine, è corredato da numerosi casi che riguardano transazioni commerciali di beni artistici, utili alla comprensione della materia giuridica e delle situazioni più comuni che gli operatori del diritto, gli esperti valutatori e i curatori artistici si trovano a dover inquadrare giuridicamente, valutare economicamente e stimare criticamente.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
