First Meeting is the first monograph on Argentinian artist Santiago de Paoli. From his early, experimental projects to his most recent explorations, the book delves into his innovative approach of painting on unconventional materials. The book features commissioned essays by Fernanda Brenner and Mariano Mayer, as well as a conversation between Christian Rattemeyer and the artist.
Infinite Memory is Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel’s first monograph, co-published with Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain and Lenz. Like a memory card, the book stores information about a selection of films from the initial decade of the artists’ practice. Considered as an object, much like a piece of hardware that stores digital memory, the book offers the possibility to scroll infinitely, with no beginning or end.
Through the words of the sound artist and theorist Brandon LaBelle, the book explores the social and relational component of sound that gave rise to Benevolence, the site-specific project by Sonia Boyce. The Joy of Cacophony is the second book in a series of essay collections inspired by the site-specific projects conceived for GAMeC at Palazzo della Ragione.
Consisting of a richly illustrated booklet and a record vinyl, this special release accompanies the performative sound-based project A Comparative Dialogue Act by artists Andrea Mancini and the collective Every Island, hosted in the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale.
Conceived as a catalogue and an artist’s book, the publication offers a deeper insight into the eponymous 2022 exhibition staged at Indipendenza Roma, and explores tensions that can be generated between artworks and their surrounding architectural context, raising questions of taste, value, function and decoration.
The practice of Tomaso Binga (Bianca Pucciarelli Menna, 1931) toys with the notion of gender, reconsidering women’s social roles and rights. This monograph, edited by Eva Fabbris, Lilou Vidal, and Stefania Zuliani, analyses her work through various languages and features a selection of poems, highlighting the author’s critical and artistic approach.

Lorenza Longhi’s practice centers on the circulation of images, materials, and value systems within consumer culture. Working across screen printing, sculpture, installation, and re-constructed furniture, she often reinterprets familiar objects and design elements to expose the subtle pressures embedded in them. By manipulating surfaces, textures, and production processes, Longhi reveals how aesthetics regulate social behavior, status, and aspiration. Her objects—whether printed panels or hybrid forms derived from interior décor—highlight the instability of meaning as things move between domestic, commercial, and institutional settings.
In her 2025 exhibition at Kunst Museum Winterthur, How About Another Problem?, Longhi elaborates these concerns through works that respond directly to the museum’s architecture. Screen-printed panels featuring abstracted flowers pierced by camera-lens motifs evoke the surveillance-driven visual culture shaping contemporary life. Meanwhile, elements resembling furniture or functional fixtures introduce a tension between utility and display, complicating expectations of refinement and production value. Irregularities—misalignments, visible joins, uneven prints—are deliberately preserved, foregrounding the labor behind objects typically associated with industrial perfection and consumer polish.
Longhi’s new spiral-bound catalogue echoes her longstanding interest in modest, industrially inflected production formats. By adopting a format associated with prototypes, manuals, or working documents, the catalogue positions itself as an active tool rather than a luxury object—extending Longhi’s ongoing examination of value, functionality, and the aesthetics of the everyday.
