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.

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.

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.

Catalog of the exhibition Grottesco / Incanto de li Cunti with works by Mariella Carbone inside XXXI Segni Barocchi Festival, Foligno, 2010. Affabula is a journey into Charles Perrault’s world. It is the story of a journey through his fairy tales articulated on a double theme; that of the reinvention and re-reading of texts through new, unpublished and sensitive images and that of the reinterpretation of the space translated into 5 rooms plus a corridor.

DISTRIBUTION

International: Idea Books
Italy: Libro Co

Viaindustriae is a cultural association and publishing house based in Foligno, PG, Italy. Founded in 2005, it promotes projects and artistic research ranging from museum exhibitions, site-specific installations, public actions, artist residencies and publications in various formats. In the last ten years, the publishing activity has consolidated to become the association's main field of action. Viaindustriae publishes artists' books, experimental research books, territorial studies, exhibition catalogues, monographic catalogues - among other forms of publishing - using publishing practice as a generative tool for artistic experimentation. The books have different formats that do not follow the standards of a canonical publishing practice but rather the needs and specificities of each project. Viaindustriae sees the publishing practice as an act of translation that requires a transformation of the art or visual work into a new form, where the work itself develops new possibilities and meanings; this is why each book becomes an autonomous platform and not just an opportunity to transfer content.
