Amikejo, Latitudes (ed), Mousse Publishing.

Amikejo has been produced in coordination with a series of four exhibitions by artist duos, curated by Latitudes (Max Andrews & Mariana Cánepa Luna) at Laboratorio 987, the project space of the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, MUSAC. The title refers to a tiny state that existed from 1908 to 1920 between the Netherlands, Belgium and present-day Germany, founded to foster more effective international communication through the synthetic language Esperanto – Amikejo means ‘place of friendship’ in Esperanto. This episode-place was a unique synthesis of cartography, language, nationhood, politics, economics and subjectivity, and is evoked as a twin site to Laboratorio 987, lending its name and conceptual borders to the exhibition series and the book.

Texts by: Giorgio Agamben, Theo Beckers, Latitudes, Peter Osborne, Georges Pérec, Menno Schilthuizen, Ryszard Zelichowski

Invernomuto. “Simone”, Xing, Mousse Publishing

Simone represents an initial stop on a tour that began with the exhibition of the same name by Invernomuto at the Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea of Ferrara, for Art Fall 2011.

Through a long conversation with Xing to analyze and narrate different cycles of work produced by the duo, Simone retraces almost ten years of research of Invernomuto. The book, neither an artist’s book nor a traditional catalogue, is a voyage through imagery extending from visual art to music, crossing the widest range of sources and their recombination in the dense imaginary of the artists.

Hardcover, with text in English & Italian.
Pages: 144
Size: 21.5 x 14.8 cm

fotograf #19: Film – Magazine of photography and visual culture.

“The theme for fotograf magazine’s 19th issue is the relationship between photography and film. We logically arrived at this choice after gradually addressing topics such as photography and painting, performance, architecture etc. It is logical that photography, which during its history has reflected diverse cultural relationships, has to explore a discipline that directly relates to it, even technologically. It is no accident that many world languages use the same word for camera and movie camera. Not only do both use the same imaging optics, but they also use the same recording medium; earlier film tape, and now increasingly digital chips…” Pavel Baňka, Editorial

Narratives – Relazioni. Baghdad. Red Zone, Green Zone, Babylon. Giovanna Silva. Mousse Publishing.

The first volume of a series that narrates, through images, the history of countries at war or in situations of crisis. Through a combination of evocative images that describe the country in an abstract but precise way, each place is revealed through a narrative path that is simply suggested by the author and can be freely modified by the reader. The images are only halfway legible and can be viewed entirely only by extracting the individual pages – which are not bound, like a newspaper – whose sequence can be freely reorganized each time.

In this first volume the protagonist is Baghdad, described as a fortified city, as a place still defended by walls and thus comparable to its historical precursor, Babylon. After Baghdad, the series will continue with portraits of Afghanistan, the Gulf of Aden, Egypt and Syria.

Format: 14 posters in a folder (26.5 x 38 cm)
