Michael E. Smith
Published by Cura., Rome, 2026, 200 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 16.8 × 24 cm, English/Italian
Price: €25

This catalogue accompanies C C, Michael E. Smith’s exhibition in the underground spaces of Palazzo Bentivoglio, Bologna (30 January–26 April, 2026), curated by Simone Menegoi and Tommaso Pasquali.

Conceived for the undercroft of the palazzo, the project treats architecture, light, and objects as a single, unstable field. Rather than using the space as a neutral container, Smith works with its darkness, irregularity, and infrastructural presence, producing a sequence of thresholds, pauses, and zones of partial visibility.

Please Pay Attention Please: Bruce Nauman's Words Writings and Interviews
Published by The MIT Press, Cambridge, 2005, 426 pp. hardcover (b/w ill.), 18.2 × 23.7 cm, English
Price: €25

The most comprehensive collection to date of the artist Bruce Nauman’s writings plus all of his major interviews from 1965 to 2001. Since the 1960s, the artist Bruce Nauman has developed a highly complex and pluralistic oeuvre ranging from discrete sculpture, performance, film, video, and text-based works to elaborate multipart installations incorporating sound, video recording and monitors, and architectural structures. Nauman’s work is often interpreted in terms of movements and mediums, including performance, postminimalism, process, and conceptual art, thereby emphasizing its apparent eclecticism. But what is often overlooked is that underlying these seemingly disparate artistic tendencies are conceptual continuities, one of which is an investigation of the nature of language.

Andrea Büttner
Published by Argos Books, Berlin, 2009, 48 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 19.5 × 24 cm, German/English
Price: €18

With texts by Dan Fox, Anja Casser and a conversation with Daniel Pies.

This first monograph of German artist Andrea Büttner follows her solo exhibition at Badischer Kunstverein and was developed in close collaboration with the artist. In addition to drawing, photograph, video, reverse painting on glass and silkscreen, Büttner uses the technique of woodcut. It is the supposed antiquity of this medium – as well as the artistic tradition which it evokes – that refers to a fundamental question in her work: How is it possible to comprehend or to describe the threshold which is occupied by an artwork between the intimate practice of production and the public practice of exhibitions? Büttner’s works not only thematize aspects of individual surrender, failure and shame, but also refer to the exemplary, utopian imagination of life-forms operating beyond these feelings of inadequacy.
