The publishing project
Ennesima interprets and investigates the multiple, extensive thematic content covered in the eponymous curatorial project of seven exhibitions spanning over fifty years of
contemporary art in Italy, since the beginning of the sixties to the present day.
The seven volumes of the publishing project
Ennesima are joined by the Guide to the eponymous exhibition, introduced by a critical essay by the curator of “Ennesima” Vincenzo de Bellis (“Why Ennesima? Genesis of an exhibition born agnostic”) and subdivided into seven thematic chapters, like the “Ennesima” show itself. Every work (over 170 by about 70 Italian artists who have reached the international spotlight from the early 1960s to the present) is illustrated with a photograph and a critical profile on the artist and the current to which the work belongs, indicated on the extensive mapping that crosses the publication and reproduces its itinerary.
The Guide is accompanied by the complete listing of the works.
Ennesima includes:
To write an Image;
The Image of Writing. Gruppo 70, Visual Poetry and Verbal-Visual Investigations;
Alessandro Pessoli. Sandrinus, the Whole before the Parts;
The Performance where Time Stands Still. Tableau Vivant Between Reality and Representation;
A Choral Archive. The Via Lazzaro Palazzi Space, the Experience of Self-Management and AVANBLOB;
Present Tense, Indefinite Mood; Here, Now and Elsewhere. Site-Specific and Thereabouts;
Ennesima: the Guide.
