UMBRIA UNDERGROUND, A journey through a fertile territory with Public Illumination Magazine 1986 -2010
€ 10
After 53 issues published since 1979 in New York and Umbria, PIM (Public Illumination Magazine), the world’s smallest magazine of its kind (7×11 cm) marches on, continuing to illuminate its select readers with enlightening revelations by its pseudonymonous contributors. This special joint-publication of PIM and Ragnatele retraces the 19 issues of PIM published since its relocation to Umbria in 1987. Covers and sample pages are presented amongst artifacts from its environment. Universal yet particular, the nourishing peculiarity of Umbria has proven a happy home for this collaboration. These two magazines have joined characters and dimensions to produce a hybrid publication in an act of cross-fertilization.

Fata Morgana
€ 10
Catalog of the exhibition Fata Morgana, at Gallery Apart, Cerere Temporary Gallery. The project was to create a total alteration of a specific space with a dreamlike video installation investigating remote throbbing obsessions. The setting of an obsolete shabby hotel was created in an old print shop: windows, doors, carpeting, wallpaper, furniture, curtains, etc.. The rooms are loaded with memories and dreams and some pending events come back to life. The space is at street level of the ex-Cerere pasta factory located on via Tiburtina in the San Lorenzo neighborhood in Rome. Outside the door, there is a “HOTEL” sign. In collaboration with gallery Apart Roma, Fondazione Pastificio Cerere.

Artist’s books by Sol Lewitt
Out of stock
This elegantly designed catalog – published following an exhibition at the Galleria civica Arte Moderna in Spoleto, Italy – offers readers a fairly comprehensive survey of Sol Lewitt’s impressive archive of artist’s books. As one of the medium’s foremost pioneers and advocates, Lewitt created over seventy books and book projects, beginning with the 1967 Serial Project No. 1 (from Aspen magazine), and ending with Chicago (Morning Star Publications, 2002). This book reproduces covers and spreads from this massive oeuvre of artist’s books, almost all of which are now rarities. Critical observations from LeWitt himself are accompanied by essays from Giorgio Maffei, Emanuele De Donno, Didi Bozzini, Cecilia Metelli, and Marilena Bonomo. Texts are in Italian and English.
