Summary:
"Monumento" (2022) is an installation by Edoardo Tresoldi, commissioned by Generali, promoter of the restoration of the building carried out by the David Chipperfield Architects studio. The installation is located in the space around which the monumental circular staircase of the Procuratie Vecchie ascends. Monumento uses the rhetorical language of the monumental column as a reflection both on our times and on the rhetoric surrounding those values to which our society aspires: a society that reiterates the need to redefine the concept of strength, reinterpreting the role of fragility and which proposes listening and dialogue as the fundamental points of intercultural relations.

Summary:
Paper is a readily available and inexpensive sculptural media. Pliable, ephemeral and easily manipulated with simple tools, it is a medium with which the artist can form three-dimensional shapes quickly through precise folding and cutting. Artist Richard Sweeney leads you through the three stages of his process, from the initial conceptual stage (whether drawing on natural or architectural forms for inspiration), to the basic shapes (modular, in column, or dynamic), and finally to the folding techniques, curved folding, parallel pleating, faceted pleating and radiating pleating. The author also discusses tools and types of paper best suited for this art form.

This volume also includes Daumal’s column for the Nouvelle Revue Française, “Pataphysics This Month.” Reading like a deranged encyclopedia, “Pataphysics This Month” describes a new mythology for the field of science, and amply demonstrates that the twentieth century had been a distinctly pataphysical era.
