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.

Megan Francis Sullivan
Published by New Toni Press, Berlin, 2023, 136 pp. 11 × 17.5 cm, English
Price: €14 (Out of stock)

Of course there is the practice of art by the artist, but an exhibition is even more so an engagement between people, places, institutions, projections, desires, coincidences, memories, and temporalities. In this monograph, artist Megan Francis Sullivan chooses the format of oral history, engaging various akteurs of the field to produce a web of language reflecting a shape of time.

With discussions with Jean-Claude Freymond-Guth, Melanie Ohnemus, David Lieske, Cornelia Kastelan, John Rasmussen, Marie Angeletti, Kelsey Olson, Megan McCready, Sara De Bondt, Antony Hudek, Alexander Schröder, Valérie Knoll, Helmut Draxler, Aura Rosenberg, John Miller, Robert Müller, Cecilie Norgaard, Moritz Scheper, Maximiliane Baumgartner and an essay by Hannes Loichinger, “The Painting of Hans Haacke.”

Published by MIT Press, Cambridge, 2016, 344 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 18.5 × 23.7 cm, English

This volume collects writings by Haacke that explain and document his practice.
