Francesco Gennari: I’d Like to Lose Myself, Never to Find Myself Again

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 gallery in Paris. Instinct, creativity, and loss of control characterize the publication, in which the artist further develops his research into the concept of “identity” along with the sense of the boundary and dispersion in space. This volume is created in two editions, one gold and one silver, and provides an escape from reality towards a broader and more mysterious experience, one in which the limits of human existence and the desire/need to go beyond them remain at the heart of the narrative.

🔥 Anita Chari: A User’s Manual to Claire Fontaine

In the first monograph on the feminist conceptual artist collective Claire Fontaine, political theorist and somatic practitioner Anita Chari explores the artist’s theoretical and political innovations to illuminate a more haptic, embodied approach to the practice of critical theory.

“Fluently traversing critical theory, political philosophy, and artistic discourse, this is a brilliant, engaging book on the art and writings of Claire Fontaine—‘readymade artist’ and conceptual provocateur—as well as a vital elucidation of paths toward a transformative mode of living in the present. Writing with and through rather than, as usual, ‘on’ her subject, Chari provides her readers with a ‘how-to’ manual to Claire Fontaine’s practice, finding in it a model for embodied resistance.”—Tom McDonough, author of “The Beautiful Language of My Century”
