A Work will be Shown: Artist’s Invitations and Announcements 1960–2020
Published by Viaindustriae, Foligno, 2025, 352 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 11 × 18 cm, Italian / English
Price: €28

For decades, Maurizio Nannucci has preserved exhibition invitation cards. The collection comprises both invitations and announcements from artists whose approaches to art are close to his own. Yet many also come from wider circles of artist friends, colleagues, galleries, and museums, allowing a chronology of relationships and information exchanges to emerge. The selection in this volume makes visible how this kind of communication – often conceived by the artists themselves – superimposes the purely informative value of the printed matter with the freedom of artistic expression; evidence of a holistic practice where such cards can become artworks in their own right.

Local Ecology. Kastellorizo
Jochen Lempert
Published by Nero Editions, Rome, 2025, 48 pp. (b/w ill.), 16.5 × 23.5 cm, English
Price: €26

Jochen Lempert brings his signature blend of scientific sensitivity and poetic vision to the remote Greek island of Kastellorizo. Known for his black-and-white photographs and background in biology, Lempert turns his lens to the subtle presences of animal, vegetal, and mineral life on this isolated Mediterranean outpost. Through a series of quietly observational images, Lempert documents the island’s micro-ecologies with a field biologist’s care and an artist’s attunement to form and chance. As always, he eschews dramatic framing and post-production, relying on natural light, analog processes, and an acute sense of timing.
