BRIAN ENO. REFLECTED

20,00
TEXTS BY: Arian Eno, Tom Phillips, Marco Pierini

«What I think we are doing when we find pleasure in sex, drugs, art and religion is we are rehearsing our ability to surrender. So, this brings us, having taken a very long way round, to why I think this is what I would like to see in a church now. If you try to imagine what the effect of those pieces of work, the works by Beato Angelico, Perugino, Piero della Francesca, the effect those works must have had on the 15th or 16th century eye: that is what I’m trying to recreate. I should be humbler than I am, but I’m trying to com- pete with them in 21st century terms. I’m trying to say “this is what I think should be in churches now”» (B. Eno)

«I felt laid bare when Giuseppe Panza entered my studio because he looked at my paintings so closely and as such length. And in a way, it might seem absurd to spend so much time and intensity looking at a monochrome painting. All of this was very powerful.» (Sean Shanahan)

PENONE. DISEGNI

40,00
CURATED BY: Marco Tonelli Conversation between Francesco Guzzetti and Giuseppe Penone Il volume è il primo libro in Italia dedicato esclusivamente al disegno di Giuseppe Penone. Attraverso una selezione di opere, a cui si aggiungono delle serie fotografiche e un lavoro unico titolato “L’impronta del disegno - indice destro”, si ripercorre il rapporto dell’artista con il disegno e anche con la scrittura che tante volte trova posto nelle sue carte. Come nelle parole di Marco Tonelli: «Il disegno di Penone, legato alla figura e alla metafora dell’albero e delle sue declinazioni visive e linguistiche, è dunque qualcosa di originario e non veicola semplicemente idee già formate, non è un mezzo di espressione, né è la parte concettuale o progettuale del suo lavoro ..., ma quella primaria e fenomenologica, che gli permette per certi versi, come la scrittura, di dire e pensare e performare il lavoro di scultore». Nel volume anche un’intervista a Giuseppe Penone di Francesco Guzzetti. Size: 30 x 32 cm Pages: 72 Language: english ALSO AVAILABLE IN ITALIAN

Impara a leggere i quadri antichi prescindendo dalla figura e imparerai a trovare gli stessi valori nei quadri moderni che all’apparenza non hanno un rapporto naturalistico». Afro Basaldella davanti ai lavori di Piero della Francesca.

Mario Giacomelli – Faraway, So Close

20,00
AUTHOR: Alessandro Sarteanesi

The idea of distance in Giacomelli’s work is never a simple calculated measurement between the photographer and the subject, it is an unstable threshold where reality is held and transformed. Moving closer or further away alters the actual degree to which the image can be seen, or, indeed, its very possibility of existing. At a distance, the world can lose its weight, become a structure, or transcend all recognisability and return to its original matter, or even waver, unrevealed, between the two. Alessandro Sarteanesi

Format: sewn paperback Dimensions: 15 x 22 cm Extent: 32 Language: English Series: Passage Publishing: 2026
