R.R.
Henrik Olesen
Published by Ublication, London, 2023, 16 pages in cardboard folder (colour & b/w ill.), 24.3 × 28.5 cm, English
Price: €118

A bestiary of agencies, kinds of relatings, and scores of time.

Henrik Olesen’s R.R. originates in his reading of Donna Haraway’s The Companion Species Manifesto. Through her, Olesen reimagines Robert Rauschenberg’s ‘Monogram’ using found images of interspecies attachments overlaid with painterly gestures that are both childish and fevered.

Printed on a lightweight, soft, ink-absorbing paper stock, these images are then partially overlaid with hand collaged tip-ins. In an edition of 65. Numbered and signed.

Cy Twombly
Published by Humboldt Books, Milan, 2023, 80 pages (b/w ill.), 17 × 21 cm, Italian / English
Price: €20

Texts by Tina Barouti, Anne-Grit Becker, Natalie Dupêcher. Photographs by Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly.

In the fall of 1952, Cy Twombly receives a traveling scholarship from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and leaves New York for his first trip to Europe and North Africa. He meets up with Robert Rauschenberg in Casablanca, and the two of them travel to Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains, and then to Tangier. They pay a visit to Paul Bowles in Tétouan and go on day trips with him to nearby villages and Roman ruins. Twombly conducts his first and last archaeological excavation there. Upon their return to Rome in February 1953, Twombly studies and sketches the ethnographic objects and tribal artifacts he sees on display in the Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico Luigi Pigorini. These sketches survive in the form of the North African Sketchbooks. Much of the surviving work from this trip consists of photographs taken with a Rolleiflex shared by the artists and sketches made by them, preserved in the archives of the Cy Twombly Foundation and Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio; they provide a unique perspective on Twombly’s lesser-known affinity for Africa’s Mediterranean shores.
