Maxiprocesso brings together 360 photographs by Maria D. Rapicavoli, one for each of the archival folders documenting the largest mafia trial in history, held in Palermo from 1986 to 1987. The volume explores the relationship between memory, justice, and social responsibility, examining the material element of a landmark event in contemporary Italian history.
This is the first monograph on the influential American choreographer and dancer Trajal Harrell. In an entertaining, far-reaching conversation with curator Daniel Baumann, Harrell covers all of his choreographies and performances, as well as his influences, successes, and failures, addressing how he transforms and transgresses the history of dance.
This book offers the first comprehensive overview of Anna Franceschini’s practice. Organized around recurring themes, it explores animation, the body, machines, ghosts, desire, and windows through commissioned contributions and selected writings. Its associative structure reflects her interest in repetition, transformation, and unstable images.
This book accompanies 5 Works, Lydia Ourahmane’s first institutional solo show in Italy, staged at the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation in Venice and curated by Polly Staple, during the 61st Venice Biennale, and includes newly commissioned texts and images that further contextualize the artist’s practice and work.
Museums of Tears extends Francesco Vezzoli’s 2024 exhibition at Museo Correr, Venice, combining historical works and new commissions to explore antiquity, emotion and illusion. Conceived as an artist’s book rather than a catalogue, it transforms the museum guide into a hybrid archive and portable museum of memory, beauty and mourning.
A project by Fondazione In Between Art Film, edited by Carla Subrizi, Paola Ugolini, and Maria Alicata, this illustrated volume investigates the cinematic, documentary, and video output of women artists and filmmakers operating in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s, situating their research at the intersection of artistic experimentation, politics, society, and technology.

Lorenza Longhi’s practice centers on the circulation of images, materials, and value systems within consumer culture. Working across screen printing, sculpture, installation, and re-constructed furniture, she often reinterprets familiar objects and design elements to expose the subtle pressures embedded in them. By manipulating surfaces, textures, and production processes, Longhi reveals how aesthetics regulate social behavior, status, and aspiration. Her objects—whether printed panels or hybrid forms derived from interior décor—highlight the instability of meaning as things move between domestic, commercial, and institutional settings.
In her 2025 exhibition at Kunst Museum Winterthur, How About Another Problem?, Longhi elaborates these concerns through works that respond directly to the museum’s architecture. Screen-printed panels featuring abstracted flowers pierced by camera-lens motifs evoke the surveillance-driven visual culture shaping contemporary life. Meanwhile, elements resembling furniture or functional fixtures introduce a tension between utility and display, complicating expectations of refinement and production value. Irregularities—misalignments, visible joins, uneven prints—are deliberately preserved, foregrounding the labor behind objects typically associated with industrial perfection and consumer polish.
Longhi’s new spiral-bound catalogue echoes her longstanding interest in modest, industrially inflected production formats. By adopting a format associated with prototypes, manuals, or working documents, the catalogue positions itself as an active tool rather than a luxury object—extending Longhi’s ongoing examination of value, functionality, and the aesthetics of the everyday.
