A multifaceted perspective on contemporary sculpture that explores the practices and concepts of the medium through different approaches. The publication interweaves works by Yu Ji, Bronwyn Katz, Dan Lie, Trương Công Tùng, and Luana Vitra, with essays by Federico Giani, Sohrab Mohebbi, Julia Morandeira Arrizabalaga, Chiara Nuzzi, and Anne Reeve.
Suffused with specially conceived collages of the artist’s research materials, notes, and sketches, this is the first monograph on Castelli’s painting and sculpture, with essays by Sarah Crowe and Lillian Davies, and an artist interview by Francesco Manacorda. Published with Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea and Kunsthalle Wien.
What if the shadow moved first? From March through May 2026, the exhibition The Second Shadow. Dozie Kanu Mirroring Marc Camille Chaimowicz, with Shared Echoes and Kindred Spirits at Fondazione ICA Milano unfolds online through a series of voices and crossings that shift its gravity. Not an extension. A displacement.
A Cosmic Movie Camera is the title of the 18th edition of the BIM’24, which also marks the 50th anniversary of the Biennale organized by the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève. By blending the real and the virtual, its catalogue captures the spirit of the exhibition, which explores the evolution of moving images, particularly in our algorithmic age.
The book seeks to define the contours of the obsession with the teenage years; a fixation that has shaped a significant strand of contemporary art over the last ten years. Adolescence is here understood as a state of mind, a prolonged condition that dissolves the transition into adulthood and becomes a critique of an unstable world.
In this multi-voiced book, starting from the Orobie Alpine range, the mountainside becomes an epistemological lens through which to interpret contemporaneity and address issues such as multi-species migrations, our relationship with geological time and intergenerational inheritance, and the rethinking of collective memories and rituals.

Caroline Mesquita’s oeuvre is amongst the most significant in modern-day sculpture. Her fascinating body of work encompasses figuration, installation and the moving image, in an effort to bear witness to the important ways in which artists deal with volumes, bodies and space. As she seeks out a multifaceted, constantly changing identity, she questions the boundaries of the bodies and the materials that she uses. Ideas, her first monograph, brings together sketches, installation shots and a wealth of documentation, as well as an in-depth analysis of her practice. The publication highlights her unique process of making art, from the conception of an idea to the finished work, and from the deconstruction and re-assembling of her characters’ identities to the relentless creation of different worlds.
The extensive visual content is complemented by a critical essay by curator Fernanda Brenner, a reflective essay by curator Loïc Le Gall, and an interview with curator Guilherme Blanc, in an endeavor to provide a comprehensive overview of Mesquita’s output and frame of reference.
The book is co-published with Galeria Municipal do Porto / Ágora – Cultura e Desporto do Porto, E.M. and Passerelle Centre d’art contemporain, Brest.
