Quaderno is a series dedicated to the practice of drawing, created in collaboration with Galleria Richter, Rome. The third volume collects Sam Bornstein’s ink drawings on paper and unpublished poems, produced for his solo exhibition Cosmic Joke (2024, Galleria Richter, Rome). In these works, the artist explores the tension between the real and the fantastic, intertwining myths and archetypes, and the sense of the bizarre and the sacred. The drawings reflect a diaristic and dreamlike dimension, where the lines become vehicles for inner narratives and imaginative projections, offering an intimate glimpse into the artist’s creative process.

FUTUROREMOTO gathers ten unpublished photographs by Domingo Milella, the result of his decade-long creative research in the most important prehistoric painted caves for the history of the human species, exhibited on the occasion of the FUTUROREMOTO exhibition (2024, Fondazione Giancarlo Ligabue, Venice). The artist, by bringing a large analog view camera into the depths of the cave and of time, places photography itself – our contemporary being – before the history of the archaic and the remote. Milella’s photographs are not intended as archaeological documents, but rather as casts of light from the darkness, optical sculptures of places immersed in the hidden and the incomprehensible.

Nouveau venu, qui cherches Rome en Rome is the first of a series of publications created in collaboration with pianobi, Rome. The poster/leaflet, co-edited with purpose éditions, presents a photographic work centered on the city of Rome initiated by Gilles Raynaldy in 2020 and still ongoing, through a first selection of contact sheets from the artist’s archive. Departing from Porta Maggiore and cycling through the Eastern part of town, the artist stopped and lingered in certain transit points with his camera obscura, opening a shutter to the long observation of the landscape. The capturing device imposes a series of limitations adopted by Raynaldy to gain time, that is, the necessary time for the City to make itself present.

El asunto Miguel contains a series of sculptures by Diego Miguel Mirabella, born from the collaboration between the artist and Peruvian mate burilado artisans, a pre-Inca engraving technique on ornamental gourds widespread in different regions of Peru. Mirabella entrusted the artisans with sentences and personal suggestions so they could be blended with more traditional representations of Andean culture. The artworks tower over pedestals especially made by the artist with various materials and techniques: visual interpretations of a travel account through the South American country and its landscape. The publication includes a text by Christian Oxenius and a conversation between the artist and Saverio Verini.

Between March and December 2022 sixteen painters met in the studio of artist Marco Emmanuele for a series of relational painting sessions using the Drawing machine #5.2. In each session two painters, both anchored to the machine and facing opposite directions, painted while transmitting their practice to their companion, who, in turn, followed it using the same brushes and colors. The publication was produced on the occasion of the exhibition Amici o pittori (2023, Fondazione Pastificio Cerere, Rome) and includes relational paintings by Marco Affaitati, Paolo Assenza, Orazio Battaglia, Dario Carratta, Giulio Catelli, Valerio Di Fiore, Marco Eusepi, Krizia Galfo, Alessandro Giannì, Luca Grechi, Charlotte Janis, Emiliano Maggi, Andrea Mauti, Gianni Politi, Fabrizio Sartori and Caterina Silva, as well as a series of conversations and texts by Marco Emmanuele and Diego Miguel Mirabella.

Quaderno is a series dedicated to the practice of drawing, made in collaboration with Galleria Richter, Rome. The publication contains Silvia Argiolas’ drawings exhibited in Song of myself (2022, Galleria Richter, Rome).

The cover features two works by artists Giulio Catelli and Luca Grechi.

Ialurgia is a chronological collection of paintings made by Marco Emmanuele between 2019 and 2021. His most recent research centers on painting with a vitreous mixture, through which the artist stages abysmal and dreamlike scenarios. In dialogue with classical painting techniques, Marco Emmanuele pulverizes visions made of glass and sand that tend towards abstraction. The book, published on the occasion of the exhibition Un raggio verde (2022, Operativa Arte Contemporanea, Rome), includes a selection of exhibition views and a text by Giuseppe Armogida.

Quaderno is a series dedicated to the practice of drawing, made in collaboration with Galleria Richter, Rome. The works on paper by Giulio Catelli and Luca Grechi, made between May and October 2021, convey on the one hand an idea of a painter’s private notebook, characterized by restless strokes and the raptus of intuition, and on the other completely autonomous pages and drawings that are fully representative of the author’s poetic traits. For the two artists drawing is not only tied to the thought of the new, linked to planning, but an effective instrument of inner probing, with the marks and gestures of their individual pictorial practices.

Resistenze presents the installations by José Angelino placed in different areas of Palazzo Collicola in Spoleto on the occasion of the exhibition Resistenze (2021, Festival dei Due Mondi, Spoleto). His works investigate the possible mechanisms of energy visualization: light, electricity, sound waves, vibrations and temperature are the variables through which the artist elaborates on automatisms of action and reaction. The exhibition, curated by Davide Silvioli, is produced by Galleria Alessandra Bonomo in collaboration with Fondazione Carla Fendi and Mahler & LeWitt Studios.

Isola brings together three large paintings that have represented the key passages in Luca Grechi’s artistic research from 2019 to 2021. In a game of layering and subtraction the artist alternates solid and transparent colors on the painting surface, where the matter of color disappears and reappears, chasing an unstable and perhaps unattainable balance. The publication, made on the occasion of the exhibition Mi frullla in testa un’isola (2021, Richter Fine Art, Rome) includes a text by Marco Deserto, Chi più di una stella sta…là, a futuristic surreal dialogue that blends art, science fiction and politics.

Paesaggi is a collection of photographic experiments. A research on the possible ways of representing landscape through photography. Alessandro Dandini de Sylva creates images that transform into a succession of colors and abstract shapes by manipulating instant films and reducing the photographic process to its essence. The ambiguous nature of the work investigates the relationship between photography, reality and representation. The publication, made on the occasion of the exhibition Paesaggi (2014, Operativa, Rome), includes a text by Gianni Garrera, Trillo.
