Wolves and Peasants 38% Notes 38% No Title 19% Dreamers 4%. Fondazione Antonio Ratti. Mousse Publishing.

Published for the 17th Advanced Course in Visual Arts of Fondazione Antonio Ratti, the catalogue “Wolves and Peasants 38% Notes 38% No Title 19% Dreamers 4%” contains contributions by the visiting professor to the course in 2011 – Susan Hiller – president of the Foundation, Annie Ratti, the curators of the course Andrea Lissoni and Cesare Pietroiusti, Angela Maderna and all the participating artists.

Based on four weeks spent in Como in July, the publication is like a notebook – the same one distributed by Susan Hiller to all the people involved in the course, a place in which to systematically record their dreams – where the collective nature of the choices and dialogue that have given form to the catalogue coexists with the individual expression and autonomy of each participating artist.

May Magazine #8

Conceived as a collective space in which to develop thoughts and confront positions on artistic production, May magazine examines, quaterly, contemporary art practice and theory in direct engagement with the issues, contexts and strategies that construct these two fields. An approach that could be summed up as critique at work – or as critique actively performed in text and art forms alike.

Featuring essays, interviews, art works and reviews by artists, writers and diverse practitioners of the arts, the magazine also intends to address the economy of the production of knowledge – the starting point of this reflection being the space of indistinction between information and advertisment typical of our time. This implies a dialogue with forms of critique produced in other fields.

Wazony. Robert Maciejuk. Morava Books.

Robert Maciejuk is a painter. As a painter, he is sensitive to the colour and texture of paint. He is a painter with a rare sense of humour and, an even greater rarity, an awareness of his skill. Robert Maciejuk knows how to paint and it is his intuition which leads him to the subject of his painting. Still, Robert Maciejuk is no potter and in the world of ceramics he fumbles about in the dark, making the mistakes all beginners make. Yet it is, in fact, a series of ceramics and vases that appear to be the protagonists of a meticulously designed portfolio. Why ceramics, then? Is it really all about ceramics? The precise compositions made up of groups of vases invoke associations with the still-life oeuvre of masters from the Netherlands and Spain. The colours of the objects, the garish yellow background of a wall, the cold tiles and the earth-tone vases might have served as basic motifs for any of the Colourists or Capists. The form of a publication is the perfect framework for a series of photographs of such objects as what counts most for the artist is a memorable image captured on paper. After all, Robert Maciejuk is only, and as much as, a painter.
