Résumé:
The late Italian artist and writer Enzo Mari (1932–2020) is perhaps most famed for his modernist and industrial furniture designs, such as the box chair and the “sof sof” chair, but he produced an expansive oeuvre in art across various mediums. This catalog, published for an exhibition at Galleria Massimo Minini, gathers the artist’s drawings, prints and sculptures. The works in the volume embody the fruits of Mari’s research into “programmed” or “algorithmic” art; he was especially interested in creating works that could be enjoyed diachronically. To that end, he created a series of models consisting of a programmed combination of prefabricated module elements; these sequences visually represent the passage of time.

Exposition inédite conçue par Patti Smith et Soundwalk Collective pour le Centre Pompidou, EVIDENCE est une (en)quête poétique et immersive. Muni d'un casque hypersensible qui réagit à ses mouvements, le visiteur est invité à une déambulation physique et sonore sur les traces d'Arthur Rimbaud, Antonin Artaud, René Daumal, à la rencontre de leur univers poétique et symbolique réunis dans un même territoire imaginaire. L'espace d'exposition montrera des projections de films réalisés sur ces différents territoires, des objets récoltés sur place tels des talismans, des installations organiques et poétiques représentant les territoires traversés par chaque poète. Au terme du parcours, le visiteur fait face à une installation: sur le modèle des murs d'investigation, Patti Smith juxstapose et mêle des photocopies de documents, des photos d'archives, des poèmes, des dessins originaux de sa collection personnelle ou de celles du MNAM et du MoMa, autant de preuves d'existence du parcours de ces poètes et de leur inspiration pour proposer une véritable plongée dans leur pensée.

Résumé:
The British-born artist and writer Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) is one of the vanguards in the history of women artists and the history of Surrealism. The interests of this visionary—feminism, ecology, the arcane and the mystical, the interconnectedness of everything—are now shared by many. Challenging the conventions of her time, Carrington abandoned family, society, and England to embrace new experiences and forge a unique artistic style in Europe and the Americas. In this evocative illustrated biography, writer and journalist Joanna Moorhead traces her cousin’s footsteps, exploring the artist’s life, loves, friendships, and work. Leading readers on a personal journey across Britain, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the United States, and Mexico, ''Surreal spaces'' describes the places and experiences that would become etched in Carrington’s memory and be echoed, sometimes decades later, in her art and writing—whether her grandmother’s kitchen with its giant stove; a remote Cornish hideaway where she holidayed with Max Ernst, Lee Miller, and Man Ray; the Left Bank of Paris; an asylum in Santander, Spain; New York, where she lived among other European exiles; or Mexico City, her final sanctuary. 'Houses are really bodies,' Carrington wrote in her novella ''The Hearing Trumpet''. 'We connect ourselves with walls, roofs and objects just as we hang on to our livers, skeletons, flesh and blood streams.'

She is renowned for her monumental installation ''The Dinner Party'' (1974–1979), an iconic work that celebrates female luminaries from history and mythology, including Georgia O’Keefe, Emily Dickinson, Sojourner Truth, and Hatshepsut. Gathered from interviews and other sources, Judy Chicago-isms is an inspiring collection of the memorable and powerful words of a trailblazing artist.

Résumé:
Life in the digital economy of information and images enriches us but often induces a sense of being overwhelmed. ''Sensing the Future: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts'' considers the impact of technology by exploring ways it was addressed in the practice of the Hungarian polymath artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), a prominent professor at the Bauhaus and a key figure in the history of Modernism. Moholy-Nagy felt that people needed guidance to cope with the onslaught of sensory input in an increasingly technologized, mediatized, hyper-stimulating environment. His ideas informed media theorists such as Walter Benjamin, John Cage, Sigfried Giedion, and Marshall McLuhan, who anticipated digital culture as it emerged. Should we then regard Moholy-Nagy as a pioneer of the digital? His aesthetic engagement with the technology/body problematic broached the notions of immersion, interactivity and bodily participation, innately offering a critique of today’s disembodiment.

Résumé:
This book brings together the Palabrarmas series by the Chilean-born artist, poet and activist Cecilia Vicuña (born 1948). Images of these works - each a powerful juxtaposition of color, poetry and politics - appear alongside new essays and historical references chosen with the artist. Palabrarmas, a neologism that translates to "word weapons" or "word arms," imagine new ways of seeing language. Taking the form of collages, silkscreens, drawings, poems, fabric banners, cutouts, mixed-media installations and street actions, Vicuña’s Palabarmas bring together her work in poetry, activism, and visual art. Each one unpacks and deconstructs single words to reveal other words hiding within them, allowing new meanings to emerge.

Résumé:
Inspired initially by Jerome Rothenberg’s translation Flower World Variations, which Cecilia Vicuña (born 1948) first encountered in 1985, ''Cecilia Vicuña: Deer Book'' brings together nearly 40 years of the artist’s poetry, "poethical" translations and drawings related to cosmologies and mythologies surrounding the deer, and sacrificial dance in cultures around the world. Woven like one of her quipu installations, Vicuña’s texts—which include original compositions in Spanish as well as English translations by Daniel Borzutzky—become meditations on translation, not just of the sacred nature of this animal but on how our understandings of ceremony and ritual are transformed by this ongoing process. Taken as inspiration rather than conundrum, the impossibility of translation opens up poetic possibilities for Vicuña as she continues her lifelong exploration into the nature of communication across eras and distant lands, languages and shared symbols within Indigenous spiritualities.

Résumé:
Over the past twenty years, Camille Henrot has developed a critically acclaimed practice that moves seamlessly between drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, and film. ''Mother Tongue'' is Henrot’s first publication focused solely on painting and drawing, bringing together over 200 works from the series ''System of Attachment'', ''Wet Job'', and ''Soon'', created between 2018 and 2022. This recent body of work addresses the ambivalent nature of care and the tension between the simultaneous developmental need for attachment and independence, beginning at infancy and continuing throughout life. Her deeply personal and intimate interrogations ultimately relate to broader questions such as the expectations placed on mothers and the representation of the female body. This richly illustrated catalogue is accompanied by texts from Emily LaBarge, Legacy Russell, Marcus Steinweg, Hélene Cixous, Seamus Kealy, and a conversation with Camille Henrot and curator Julika Bosch.
