ACTS OF ENGAGEMENT: WRITINGS ON ART, CRITICISM, AND INSTITUTIONS, 1993-2002
Written by Brenson, Michael

VISIONARIES AND OUTCASTS: THE NEA, CONGRESS, AND THE PLACE OF THE VISUAL ARTIST IN AMERICA
Written by Brenson, Michael
Visionaries and Outcasts documents and analyzes, from hopeful creation to bitter end, the most ambitious experiment in artistic funding in American history. Through the creation of the National Endowment for the Arts in 1965, this country provided financial support for visual artists without exerting the stringent controls that patronage in the past required.
IK-00: THE SPACE OF CONFINEMENT
Written by Shapovalov, Vladislav
When art takes its inspiration from correctional facilities. This book is the result of an international collective project in which the artists were asked to reflect on the architecture of seclusion, in search of different ways of documenting the institutional spaces intended to punish and, at times, to improve the individuals by their separation from the rest of society.
ACCROCHAGE
New discoveries from one of the largest contemporary art collections. Accrochage brings together about seventy works from the Pinault Collection produced by thirty artists since the 1970s. The works -never shown before in the Venetian venues of the collection-are the outcome of minimal gestures and artistic research focused on the theme of the void.
DRAMA MACHINE: PICTURES FROM A RUSSIAN SCENE
The photographs by one of the emerging artists of the vibrant Russian scene. Russian photographer Sergey Sapozhnikov takes as his topic and inspiration a landmark building of Russian Constructivism, the Drama Theatre in Rostov-on-Don. Designed by architects Vladimir Shchuko and Vladimir Gelfreikh in 1930, it's an iconic work built in the impressive shape of a tractor.
IMAGINE: ITALIAN ART 1959-1969

ALDO MANUZIO: RENAISSANCE IN VENICE
The fascinating story of the greatest publisher of all time.

It tells how the book changed the world and how and why this change happened in Venice, cosmopolitan city and gateway between East and West.
SIGMAR POLKE
The artist who dared put into question the parameters of ordinary vision. One of the main exponents of Capitalist Realism-a current that arose in the 1970s in opposition to both the Socialist Realism widespread in the countries of Eastern Europe and Western pop art-Sigmar Polke was a tireless experimenter of techniques, art materials, and chemical-alchemical processes.
