On the occasion of PROVENCE’s 15th anniversary, the reader My Alphabet presents 26 texts published by PROVENCE between 2009 and 2024, either in print or digitally in the weekly newsletter. These texts are sorted alphabetically, ranging from A for Amphetamine to N for Ne travaillez jamais to Z for Gen Z.
This publication is devoted exclusively to the metal works of Sidsel Meineche Hansen. Catalogued here is every cast, forged, and fabricated metal sculpture made since 2017. Poems by the artist Diego Marcon annotate and respond to the individual pieces.
This compelling artist’s book is built around KOOL (“cabbage” in Dutch), an original font designed by Reus, somewhere between a plant alphabet and concrete poetry. The publication draws on the type specimen book tradition to present new typefaces.
Through a rich selection of images, this artist’s book, published in two editions—gold and silver—explores the birth, life and death of Francesco Gennari’s work Vorrei perdermi e non trovarmi più, 2022, exhibited for the first time at the Ciaccia Levi Gallery in Paris.

This richly illustrated publication combines artwork, archival and process imagery, and includes an extended interview with the artist, as well as new essays by key thinkers in the fields of anthropology, philosophy, political economy and art history.

A Goodbye Letter, A Love Call, A Wake-Up Song is the title of the 2021 edition of the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement (BIM’21), presented at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève. Curated by the Centre’s director Andrea Bellini and the New York-based collective DIS, the unique aspect of this edition was that the works—which, as always, were commissioned and produced by the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève—were presented as site-specific installations in the exhibition space, but also in versions that could be viewed on the computer screen. The atmosphere of BIM’21 expressed a shared urge to imagine worlds that differ from the one we live in, and by a creative refusal of the status quo, including the current economic system.
The catalog is divided into two volumes, the first gathers textual materials—interviews, excerpts and scripts—to highlight the importance of writing in the recent video production of the artists invited to this Biennial. The second volume collects video stills and installation views that enable readers to ideally retrace the exhibition space of the Centre, which for the occasion was transformed into a curious hotel-like space, with long, dim corridors leading to fourteen different rooms.
