The Paradox of Stillness
"Presenting works from the early 20th century to today, The Paradox of Stillness: Art, Object, and Performance examines the notion of stillness as both a performative and visual gesture, featuring practitioners who have constructed static or near-static experiments that hover somewhere between action and representation as they are experienced in the gallery space. The exhibition investigates performance from the perspective of the object rather than the body, examining how performance has reinterpreted traditional artistic media. Stillness and permanence are qualities typically seen as inherent to painting and sculpture-consider the frozen gestures of a historical tableau or the unyielding s...

Stanley Whitney: The Italian Paintings
The enduring influence of Italy on Whitney's sumptuous abstractions, from its ancient art and architecture to the meditative still lifes of Morandi Stanley Whitney's (born 1946) energetic parcels of color, ever-shifting grids and spatial intensity have been consolidated by over three decades of painting in Italy. It could not be more fitting, then, that Whitney opens an exhibition in the Venice Biennale 2022. Bringing together for the first time his acclaimed Italian Paintings, this publication, printed on the occasion of the artist's presentation during the 2022 Venice Biennale, compiles works exclusively created in Italy and charts the evolution of his stacked, multihued compositions. It includes works dating to the early 1990s and Whitney's formative period in Rome, where he would live for five years, to more recent paintings undertaken over summers spent in his studio near Parma. Alongside a selection of the Italian Paintings, the publication includes installation photography from the exhibition, pages from Whitney's sketchbooks and essays by the exhibition's cocurators, Vincenzo de Bellis and Cathleen Chaffee.
Landlord Colors
"Landlord Colors: On Art, Economy, and Materiality reconsiders periods of economic and social collapse through the lens of artistic innovations and material-driven narratives. It examines five art scenes generated during heightened periods of upheaval: America’s Detroit from the 1967 rebellion to the present; the cultural climate of the Italian avant-garde during the 1960s-1980s; authoritarian-ruled South Korea of the 1970s; Cuba since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s to the present; and contemporary Greece since the financial crisis of 2009. Featuring more than sixty artists, Landlord Colors is a landmark exhibition, publication, and public art and performance series. While the project unearths microhistories and vernaculars specific to place, it also examines a powerful global dialogue communicated through materiality. Landlord Colors discovers textured and unexpected relationships between these artists whose investigations share themes of ingenuity, resourcefulness, and resistance." -- Cranbrook Art Museum website
Francesco Arena
A selection of nearly 60 works made by the contemporary artist in the past 15 years. This book gathers a selection of around 60 works made by Francesco Arena from 2004 to 2019, plus two scholarly texts by Vincenzo De Bellis, curator and associate director of events at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, curator of the 34th Bienal de São Paulo. These analyse the basic themes in the artist's research, like the relationship between man and time and how this conditions the spaces we live in. The monograph is rounded off by a conversation between Francesco Arena and Ines Goldbach and technical entries of all the works with illustrations and short texts compiled directly by the artist.
How Evil Is Pop Art?
This richly illustrated catalogue is published on the occasion of the group exhibition curated by Tobia Bezzola 'How Evil Is Pop Art? New European Realism 1959-1966', at the Spazio -1. Collezione Giancarlo e Danna Olgiati, which stems from the desire to re-read the European Pop phenomenon via a sophisticated selection of works thanks to the encounter between two private collections: the Collezione Giancarlo e Danna Olgiati, and one of the foremost private collections of this artistic current. With forty-two works, all of which executed between 1959 and 1966, the show compares the works of thirty-one artists, including pioneers of early British Pop such as Peter Blake, Pauline Boty, Allen Jones, and David Hockney, alongside some of the major exponents of French Nouveau Réalisme, names like Martial Raysse, Jean Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Daniel Spoerri; also on display are the works of Peter Klasen and Konrad Lueg representing a radical break from German abstract painting. An important position is occupied by the different groups of Italian Pop Art.00Exhibition: Spazio -1. Collezione Giancarlo e Danna Olgiati, Lugano, Switzerland (23.09.2018-06.06.2019).
