On the occasion of the group exhibition Word is round at FRAC des Pays de la Loire, curator Marie de Brugerolle invited four artists in residence with diverse backgrounds and practices-Mads Lindberg, Kirsten Mosher, Martin Vongrej, and Anna Wittenberg-to forge connections with works from the collection by Marie Bourget, Jordan Derrien, and Lili Dujourie. The exhibition, conceived as a choreography, brings together singular works that resonate with each other in an open and circular dialogue and exchange. Thanks to Marie de Brugerolle's essay, this illustrated catalogue extends the polyphonic atmosphere of the exhibition, inviting the reader to rethink the world as a polysphere.

Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition curated by Paola Nicolin at XNL Piacenza, Michele Lombardelli: Piacenza - Los Angeles offers a literary bridge between these two very different cities through the art and poetry publications edited by Lombardelli between 1991 and 2008. Over the years, Lombardelli's work has facilitated artistic encounters with some of the most brilliant personalities from Emilia, such as William Xerra, Carlo Berté, Mauro Sargiani, Emilio Villa, and Aldo Tagliaferri, as well as with great US poets and artists like Robert Crosson, John Baldessari, Martha Ronk, Dennis Phillips, and Guy Bennett. This network of exchanges and friendships forms the basis of the volume, in which Lombardelli, together with his friend, the poet Paul Vangelisti, skillfully intertwine poetry, visual arts, music, and literature. Edited by Paola Nicolin Texts by Roberto Reggi, Paola Nicolin, Michele Lombardelli, Nathalie Du Pasquier, and Paul Vangelisti.

This catalogue accompanies Alfredo Volpi: Lucca-São Paulo (1896-1988), an exhibition celebrating Alfredo Volpi, a key figure of Brazilian modernism, for the first time in Italy; it was hosted in 2024 by the Centro per l'Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci. Born in Lucca in 1896 and having moved to São Paulo at the age of two, Volpi intertwined his art with the transformations of the twentieth century, combining modernity, tradition, and popular motifs. His works address universal themes while maintaining a strong connection to local culture, exploring representation, abstraction, daily life, and religious iconography. Edited by Cristiano Raimondi Texts by Stefano Collicelli Cagol, Virginia Magnaghi, Lorenzo Mammì, Valéria Piccoli, Cristiano Raimondi, and Daniel Donato Ribeiro.
