| Title: Afterwards: Art in the Time of Change |
| By (author): Valentino Catricalà |
| ISBN10-13: 8899776490 : 9788899776497 |
| "AFTERWARDS. Art in the Time of Change What is the role of the artist in shaping the future? How do artistic practices evolve in response to technological acceleration and societal transformation? These are the central questions explored in this bookâ a collection of essays and interviews reflecting on the future through the lens of artistic thought and action. Rather than offering definitive answers, this book presents a spectrum of perspectives from artists, curators, and thin- kers working at the intersection of art, science, and technology. It is an invitation to consider how imagination and critical inquiry can help us navigate the uncertainties of what lies ahead." |

| Title: BALTIC TRIENNIAL 13 â GIVE UP THE GHOST |
| By (author): Vincent Honore |
| ISBN10-13: 889977613X : 9788899776138 |
| Co-published by CAC Vilnius and CURA. BOOKS, the catalogue of the Baltic Triennial 13 â GIVE UP THE GHOST is intended as a reader to accompany the exhibitions taking place in the three venues-Contemporary Art Centre Vilnius, Tallinn Art Hall and Kim? Contemporary Art Center Riga. Different in format, content and context, each of the chapters of the Triennial is informed by a shared concern, which is also the core of the publication: what does it mean to belong at a time of fractured identities? Conceived as an extension of BT13â s ethos and vision, the book includes a range of curatorial and critical voices to provide highly individual reflections on each of the artists, poets and musicians taking part in the project. As the BT13â s artistic director Vincent Honoré said, â the publication is intended less as an encyclopedic introduction to the project and practice of each artist, and more as an invitation to view individual practices and works from distinct positions, opening up a series of portals through which to access each artistâ s contribution. â The participating artists are introduced by short essays, focused on their individual practice and their specific contribution to the Triennialâ s exhibitions. Images and texts unfold through the catalogueâ s pages, showing a balance between coherence and fragmentation and exploring the notions of belonging, of the body, and of our relationship to the public sphere and social structures. Participating artists: Caroline Achaintre, Evgeny Antufiev, Korakrit Arunanon- dchai, Carlotta Bailly-Borg, Darja Bajagi?, Olga Balema, Khairani Barokka, Nina Beier, Huma Bhabha, Hannah Black, Dora Budor, Harry Burke, Egl?

| Title: Images Are Real |
| ISBN10-13: 8899776385 : 9788899776381 |
| Jonas Mekas, Images Are Real collects sixty years of activity of Jonas Mekas (Biržai 1922 â New York 2019) within and beyond the history of avant-garde cinema. Through a wide selection of works from the 1960s to the late 1910s, the book aims to read the Lithuanian filmmakerâ s work as a Dantean journey from the hell of History to happiness through an everyday film exercise. The title of the exhibition and catalog is a quote taken from the film Out-takes From the Life of a Happy Man, in which the artistâ s voice-over reflects himself, â Memories are passed, but images are here, and images are real!â Completing the volume are a collection of texts by Francesco Urbano Ragazzi, Hollis Melton, P. Adams Sitney, Ieva Jasinskaite, and Philipp Scheid. â Jonas Mekas lived far more than a life, not just because he turned the one it fell to him to live into the daily medium of his cinema but also because if we set all the events in his life in a row, we get the impression that Jonas lived many more lives than just one. Born in Biržai, Lithuania, in 1922 and raised in the neighboring village of SemeniÅ¡kiai, Mekas began at a very early age to write poetry and to keep a diary, two literary genres that were to mark his destiny as a filmmaker but not only as that. He began to pen pieces for the culture pages of two local magazines while still in his teens, but in the meantime World War II had broken out and Lithuania was occupied militarily, first by the Soviet Union (1940â 41) and then by Nazi Germany â ¦â â Francesco Urbano Ragazzi This catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition Jonas Mekas. Images Are Reala curated by Francesco Urbano Ragazzi and realized at Mattatoio, Roma in collaboration with the Lithuanian Culture Institute and the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Rome. |

| Title: Sob Story |
| By (author): Matt Copson |
| ISBN10-13: 8899776512 : 9788899776510 |
| This monographic catalogue is co-published by KW and CURA. on the occasion of Matt Copsonâ s first institutional solo exhibition at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin. In his hybrid practiceâ drawing from pop culture, myths, ancient philosophy, and medieval folkloreâ Copson explores existential questions and contemporary subjectivity, which he sees as increasingly shaped by constant flux, spectacle, and the economies of attention. Copsonâ s installations often feel like environments, constructed spaces that invite viewers to step inside and inhabit worlds where archetypal figures like babies, anthropomorphized animals, or folkloric characters become vehicles for exploring the human condition. This book reflects on the past decade of Matt Copsonâ s artistic practice, encompassing his video works, installations, sculptures, drawings, performances, and laser animations, while serving as the first monograph of his multifaceted career. |

| Title: Valentino Garavani â VENUS â Joana Vasconcelos |
| By (author): Pamela Golbin, Joana Vasconcelos |
| ISBN10-13: 8899776628 : 9788899776626 |
| This book is published in conjunction with VENUS, Joana Vasconcelosâ s exhibition at PM23 (18 January â 31 May, 2026) and in selected public sites across Rome, developed in dialogue with the work and legacy of Valentino Garavani and produced by the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti. Conceived as a philanthropic foundation dedicated to education, culture, and social engagement, the Fondazione frames the project not only as an exhibition but as a platform in which art, fashion, and civic participation converge. VENUS approaches Valentinoâ s work as a material and conceptual archive. Its forms, colors, and techniques are translated into large-scale sculptures and spatial environments that extend fashion into the domain of installation and public space. At the center of the project stands Valkyrie Venus, a monumental figure assembled from thousands of crocheted and textile modules produced through a wide participatory network involving schools, hospitals, refugee shelters, womenâ s shelters and prisons. The book documents both this collective process and the finished work, presenting craft as a social practice grounded in care, repetition, and shared labor. Edited by Pamela Golbin, with texts by Pamela Golbin, Anna Coliva, Giulia Silvia Ghia, Daniele Luchetti, and Lucia Milazzotto, the volume combines critical essays, visual documentation, and narrative materials that situate Vasconcelosâ s work within the historical and symbolic landscape of Rome and within broader reflections on ornament, the baroque, and the politics of display. A special project by Daniele Luchetti, developed specifically for the book, extends the exhibition into a parallel cinematic and testimonial dimension, recording the voices and experiences of the communities involved and anchoring the project in a social reality. |
