Forma is a publishing initiative aimed at the diffusion of knowledge of trends and experiences in the fields of art, architecture and photography and, more in general, at the promotion of the most interesting researches on productive and technological aspects related to the transformation of the territory, contemporary lifestyles and homes. The intention of the publishing house is to give a “form” to the expressive undercurrents which run through and animate the current cultural debate and to explore both specific areas of knowledge that are known to the public, and to give greater visibility to those currently marginal intellectual and artistic expressions that are considered, for various reasons, to open new vistas on reality. To achieve this, Forma avails itself, without any distinction of priority, of all means of communication, both digital by making its publications available on the internet or by means of e-books, and traditional ones, by printing volumes on paper, such as monographs and catalogues of exhibitions and events. Every initiative is characterized by the high quality of the overall product (including images and printing). The publications are distributed in places (specialized bookstores, museum bookshops and exhibition venues) which, in addition to being available on the internet, assure the necessary and indispensable presence in the “sites” where opinions and critic valuations are formed.

ANTINORI WINERY

Diary of building a new landscape

by Laura Andreini; texts by P. Antinori, M. Casamonti introduction by M. Fuksas; presentation by C. Clini

The new Antinori winery project is located in the extraordinary hilly landscape covered with vineyards of Chianti, halfway between Florence and Siena. The customer wanted a building which enhanced the surrounding landscape and territory and bore witness to the cultural and social relevance of the places where wine is made. The conceptual theme of the project has taken the form of a shell that is totally underground, without roofs, walls, streets and parking spaces, following a design which dares to reconcile (a difficult but necessary challenge) the natural and the artificial. It is precisely the story of this constant research, of the indispensable connection between architecture and landscape, which represents the fulcrum on which the whole volume pivots.

Hundreds of photographs by Pietro Savorelli have immortalized years of work on the building site, telling the story of all the phases that have made it possible to realize this extraordinary project. The images, along with numerous technical drawings on every scale, critical and descriptive texts, illustrate the design process which has led to the construction of a new landscape.

ARCHEA CHINA 20 with an introduction by Z. Fang

The volume records the experience of Archea Associati in China through 20 illustrated projects of recent years. The collection includes competitions, projects under construction and complete works. It gives an overview on the design and research activity of Archea, ranging from masterplans for entire cities to housing and industrial complexes, to the interior design of single buildings. Charlie Xia’s images, the technical drawings and some text descriptions represent a fundamental instrument for the interpretation and the comprehension of the selected projects. A critical text by Zhenning Fang gives the opportunity to reflect on the peculiarities of contemporary Chinese architecture and on its possible future evolutions.

La definizione del progetto attraverso la composizione di quattro volumi regolari, ai quali vengono sottratti ampi blocchi basamentali, permette all’opera di mettere in relazione pieni e vuoti, regolarità e irregolarità. I volumi costruiti con tecnologie eco-sostenibili e contenenti uffici e spazi di incontro dialogano con quattro ampie piazze pubbliche coperte, unite tra loro da due corridoi centrali a cielo aperto che si incrociano centralmente rendendo fruibile e attraversabile l’area e favorendone l’integrazione con lo spazio naturale esterno.

HABITAR A COMUNIDADE

Rio de Janeiro is currently the centre of the world’s attention due to the events the city and the Brazilian government have succeeded in attracting to the former capital. This is the result of a specific political strategy aimed at consolidating the image of a country undergoing a rapid expansion, which is becoming increasingly irreconcilable with the conspicuous presence of an informal urban fabric in the form of favelas. The volume “Habitar a comunidade / Abitare la comunità” has been created within the context of an attempt to identify new strategies of intervention in the “informal city” that rather than try to impose external models, aims to define some simple operational principles that may be implemented both by individuals and by administrations through shared and participative projects. The underlying concept is that the communities can only be upgraded through a direct involvement of their own members.

POLI FIERISTICI edited by C. F. Kusch with a contribution by V. Marg

In the past twenty years, nearly all of Europe’s major exhibition centres have been expanded, rebuilt, or constructed in new locations to replace antiquated and inadequate facilities. Significant amounts have been invested in developments that have often brought radical change to entire city districts. This volume offers a selection of the most interesting European exhibition complexes, distinguishing the new centres (as for example the fairs in Milan, Rome and Stuttgart), from those which have been renovated or expanded (such as Vienna, Berlin, Padua and Turin). Each project is described through an illustrative text, completed by images and technical drawings. In the last pages, a practical manual summarizes all the information and the requirements for the correct design of a trade fair.

Con l’assegnazione del primo premio al concorso per la realizzazione della nuova fiera di Rimini, si offre allo studio von Gerkan, Marg und Partner, immediatamente dopo il completamento della Nuova Fiera di Lipsia, un’altra occasione di costruire un polo fieristico completamente ex-novo. Nella patria dell’architettura classica gli architetti attingono al vocabolario della tradizione con un’impostazione generale di tipo assiale e nella definizione dei singoli elementi tipologici di cui è formato il complesso fieristico: padiglioni con volte a botte, cupole, portici, cortili e aule colonnate richiamano le forme archetipiche dell’architettura pur rimanendo sempre il risultato di soluzioni funzionali e costruttive contemporanee. Quattro esili torri d’acciaio e vetro, illuminate di notte con luce blu, sono il simbolo della fiera: ben visibili da lontano fanno riferimento alle torri gentilizie, tipiche delle città medievali dell’Italia centrale. Posizionate davanti all’ingresso principale, accolgono il visitatore, dopo il passaggio sotto la linea ferroviaria, su un vasto piazzale dal quale si accede alla fiera, agli uffici amministrativi nelle due ali laterali e all’anello di accesso carrabile ai padiglioni, nonché alla fermata ferroviaria, realizzata appositamente per la fiera. Il complesso ha una chiara impostazione simmetrica, organizzata secondo lo schema “a doppio pettine”, risultato il più funzionale per l’organizzazione degli spazi espositivi. Dall’ingresso principale, situato sull’asse centrale, si accede ad una sala colonnata e da questa, sui due lati, ai padiglioni espositivi nonché alla cupola centrale, alle sale conferenza, ai ristoranti e agli altri servizi. Due ulteriori ingressi, sui due lati est ed ovest, collegati con vaste aree parcheggio, permettono un’ottimale flessibilità e gestione degli eventi fieristici. Dopo l’ampliamento, con due padiglioni doppi attestati sugli ingressi laterali, sedici ambienti espositivi offrono circa 110.000 mq di superficie per fiere ed eventi che possono svolgersi anche contemporaneamente, grazie ai tre ingressi di accesso separati. I padiglioni

sono illuminati da luce naturale attraverso le facciate laterali vetrate e da lucernari in copertura, ma possono essere oscurate completamente se necessario. Piccoli padiglioni di raccordo e il colonnato assicurano al visitatore un passaggio coperto e continuo attraverso tutta la fiera. I padiglioni, disposti sui due lati dei lunghi colonnati che circondano i vasti specchi d’acqua, sono monoplanari e hanno coperture voltate a botte in legno lamellare. Le volte a losanghe sono un riferimento alle costruzioni degli anni ’20 dell’ingegnere tedesco Friedrich Zollinger e dell’ingegnere italiano Pier Luigi Nervi. Le travi, alte solo 80 cm, hanno tutte le stesse dimensioni formando una rete omogenea di losanghe, che copre il padiglione senza sostegni intermedi per una superficie di 60×100 m. Per la costruzione della cupola, il cuore della fiera, la tecnica costruttiva utilizzata per i padiglioni, è stata ulteriormente affinata. Lo spazio circolare, con un diametro di 30 m alla base, contornato da una doppia fila di colonne, è coperto con una cupola lignea composta da elementi di varie dimensioni che formano una rete a losanghe che si stringe verso il lucernario centrale. Il pavimento in grès è abbassato di alcuni gradini rispetto al livello circostante e riporta, intarsiato, il michelangiolesco motivo della piazza del Campidoglio.

NEMBRO PUBLIC LIBRARY

PERFETTI VAN MELLE FACTORY RENOVATION

edited by L. Andreini with texts by F. Bollack, L. Molinari

edited by L. Andreini with texts by P. Meuser, M. Giberti

The library of Nembro designed by the Archea firm between 2002 and 2007 could be defined as a perfect and coherent work, a child of the Italian architectural culture of the postwar years with all the wealth of meanings, complexity and subtle contradiction that this definition entails. The new building appears as a box of glass and steel, shielded from the sun by a curious system of sunscreens in red earthenware, fastened to iron rods.

In 2004 Perfetti van Melle, an important Italian corporation and one of the world’s leading chewing gum and candy manufacturers, decided to expand its first historical plant in Lainate, a few kilometres north of Milan. The idea has been to build a new central warehouse for the stocking of all products made in this section, as well as to organize the management offices by concentrating them in a new office building.

numerous projects ranging from furniture to lighting design, from concepts for international brands to window displays, to temporary stores. The main theme of the story about architecture is the outstanding versatility of this design, which is especially evident from an essential trait that characterizes all the projects included in the publications, namely their markedly “crafted” and “customised” nature. The skilful use of the materials and their

adaptation to forms and placements, which is often very original, allow Barbieri to create spaces that not only succeed in meeting the commercial requirements, but that also adjust to the all-important presentday restriction, that of the “cost per square meter”. In fact, the choice of projects presented herein comprises both projects of luxurious interiors where nothing has been spared and others where a remarkable result has been achieved in spite of a limited budget.

The LAC (Lugano Arte Cultura) is aspiring to become the most important centre for cultural development in Lugano and Italian Switzerland. Forma Edizioni is dedicating an important volume to this project; the book has been realised with the collaboration of the Ticinese architect, Ivano Gianola, winner of the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international competition. The functional layout of this imposing structure which will be inaugurated in September 2015, is composed of a multi-functional space for a new theatre and concert hall with seating for 1000, a museum, restaurant area, office space and housing. The urban image has a very strong impact, an aspect that had to be considered by the architect. The volume describes the complete history of this work in great detail, through critical and descriptive texts, drawings, sketches, and numerous photographs that make up the highly accurate documentation of this significant construction site.

The volume, part of the Contemporary Authors series, provides an opportunity to reflect upon over twenty years of Studio Achea’s activity. After the introduction by François Burkhardt, more than 50 works by the studio are shown, placed in different thematic sections such as landscape, architecture, interiors and furnishing. The broad selection of architecture and projects published is proof of the continual research and experimentation of everevolving themes. Nevertheless, in spite of unceasing interest in variation, specific characteristics of the cultural circles involved in the project emerge,along with the differences. Going beyond the heterogeneity of the submitted proposals, we can catch a glimpse of a clear guideline, which sets Studio Archea in a welldefined position within the landscape of contemporary architecture.

LA SERIE E IL PARADIGMA

FRANCO PURINI E L'ARTE DEL DISEGNO PRESSO I MODERNI

“I do not think it is possible to do anything that truly represents ourselves without a certain level of obsession. I have also always been convinced that the architect cannot resolve the contradictions that reality constantly reveals to us using drawings, projects and construction, but I agree with the theory of Manfredo Tafuri, that architects should represent these contradictions. I also feel that there is not much point in exercising a profession such as that of an architect without having a fundamental theme to focus on throughout one’s life. My personal theme is the contrast between constrictive, almost imprisoning, spatiality and the aspiration to total freedom. A theme that finds a reflection in the coexistence within myself of the light and dark sides of reason. And all with a certain preference for hermeticism. Lastly, drawing is the crucible in which the ensemble of these motivations is brought to that melting temperature which unifies them in a substance that is at the same time corporeal and intangible.” (F. Purini)

Questo libro racconta la trasformazione di un’antica Villa in un Centro ad alta specializzazione oncologica. Il dialogo tra storia e contemporaneità è il leitmotiv del progetto: una realtà unica, come unico è stato il percorso realizzativo all’insegna di un approccio innovativo e sperimentale. Costruire un Ospedale oggi, implica scommettere sul suo futuro. Lo scenario odierno è infatti caratterizzato da una rifondazione disciplinare che affronta la rilettura critica dei parametri culturali, architettonici e tecnologici dei luoghi di cura del XX secolo per rispondere alle rinnovate esigenze della ricerca clinica e di un sistema sanitario in forte evoluzione. Così, in un contesto complesso e multidisciplinare, la storia del nuovo Centro Oncologico Fiorentino offre spunti per un duplice approfondimento: il primo è quello di soffermarsi a riflettere sul valore delle strutture storiche nei progetti di recupero ospedalieri; il secondo riguarda il ruolo della committenza e le visioni culturali che hanno dato senso agli obbiettivi ed agli interrogativi durante i lunghi tempi della progettazione. In che direzione si muove quindi l’Ospedale e le politiche sanitarie contemporanee? Quali sono i nuovi orizzonti dell’oncologia? Come si coniugano le esigenze della cura, della formazione e della ricerca in un unico Centro ad alta specializzazione? Esiste un’architettura per l’oncologia? Queste ed altre domande trovano spunti di indagine in un libro che non vuole limitarsi a presentare l’esito architettonico, ma intende condividere pensieri e aspettative con la comunità di tutti coloro disposti ad interrogarsi su di una cultura dell’assistenza in attesa del suo prossimo salto epocale. This book recounts the conversion of a historic villa into a highly specialized cancer center. The design’s guiding theme is a dialogue between history and the present day. The situation is as unique as the process of designing the center, which took an innovative, experimental approach. Building a hospital today means taking on the future. The current situation is marked by the pursuit of new foundations for a discipline that addresses a critical rethinking of the cultural, architectural and technological criteria of 20th-century healthcare places to respond to the new demands of clinical research and a changing healthcare system. Within this complex, quickly-changing context, the story of the new Centro Oncologico Fiorentino cancer center offers inspiration for two lines of further thought. The first of these is reflection on the role of historic buildings in hospital conversion projects. The second is the role of clients and the cultural perspective that gave meaning to the goals and questions that are part of the lengthy design process. In what direction are hospitals and contemporary healthcare policies moving? What is the future of oncology? How can we merge the demands of treatment, education and research in a single, highly specialized center? Is there architecture for oncology? These and other questions are springboards for thought presented in this book, which seeks to go beyond just presenting the results of an architectural project. Its intent is to share ideas and hopes with the community of all those who are interested in exploring a healthcare culture waiting to take its next great leap forward.

ADOLFO NATALINI

CONVERSATIONS

(ARCHITECTURAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY)

Founder of Superstudio, initiator of the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Radical Architectureâ&#x20AC;? movement (one of the most important avant-garde movements of the sixties and seventies), Adolfo Natalini describes years of designed and constructed architectural projects through his preferential medium: drawings and sketches.

This book contains work from several of his large collection of notebooks retracing almost fifty years of professional career. The order in which the notebooks are published, interspaced and coordinated by means of a long interview, demonstrate the evolution of the initial idea, interpretation and

vision of the architectural oeuvre of one of the leaders in Italian architecture. Adolfo Natalini was born in Pistoia in 1941. After his experience as a painter, he graduated in architecture at Florence University in 1966 and founded Superstudio, (with Cristiano

Toraldo di Francia, Gian Piero Frassinelli, Roberto and Alessandro Magris). Superstudioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designs have appeared in publications and exhibitions all over the world and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works now form part of collections such as the MoMA in New York, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Deutsche Architekturmuseum in

Frankfurt am Main and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. From 1979 onwards Natalini started working on his own and concentrating on his designs for historical towns in Italy and other countries in Europe, looking for the traces left by time on objects and places and proposing a

reconciliation between collective and personal memory. He is a full professor at the faculty of architecture of Florence University and an honorary member of the BDA, (Bund Deutscher Architekten), of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence and of the Accademia di San Luca.

ONE

ONE is the editorial initiative by Forma Edizioni about a series dedicated to Italian contemporary architecture, edited by Laura Andreini and Andrea Mannocci. The central ‘characters’ of the volumes of this series are projects, one for each, of the selected offices among architects working in Italy and abroad. The monographs, in a bilingual Italian/English edition and collected in a special slipcase, will constitute a document of the Italian architectural reality in its most innovative and cutting-edge thrust. Each volume consists of an introductory essay, a presentation of the project and of the office, through a biography, a brief list of works and a bibliography of publications.

-SCAPE VILLINO LIBERTY with an introduction by G. Sanguigni

The project deals with the restoration of a building located on the outer edge of the old city centre of Rome and the redesign, in a contemporary key, of the two upper floors of the building, which have been turned into a large private dwelling. The monograph, in a bilingual Italian/English edition, presents a complete description of the work, through technical specifications and an explicative text that, together with photographs and technical drawings, allow an in-depth reading of the project.

PAOLO BELARDI – HOF LAB CENTRO ARTIGIANALE with an introduction by D. Barbarelli

with an introduction by A. De Poli

The project for the restoration and promotion of the Giacomo Matteotti Home Museum was achieved through a series of complementary interventions directed at preserving, and at the same time, transmitting a period of history, and in some way, providing the symbolic restitution of a place which had been lost for some time.

Images, texts and drawings narrate the restoration project of an industrial zone and its conversion to create a centre for handcrafting activities. The desire of the client, who wished to maintain the original productive vocation of the area, established the criteria for the project, leading the designer to ignore contemporary trends and style to focus on a reading of the local area and its history.

LUCA GAZZANIGA ARCHITETTI PIV CASA A PRISTINA with an introduction by K. Frampton

The concept was to connect a sequence of semi-autonomous elements positioned in various ways. Five volumes, all different in terms of size and shape, frame ample views of the surrounding landscape. Their irregular positioning creates secluded outdoor areas between them that are closely related to the internal spaces.

...It is precisely the pursuit of a restrained monumentality that represents the common denominator of the early works of LAN. On one side, that enables them to offset the kitschy and mannerist new wing of the Town Hall, or the picturesque style of the Gothic façade of the wholly reinvented church, and on the other to hold the reins on technology and resist – not always successfully – the current rampant ecologist rhetoric which drives especially public clients towards an ideological and thus wholly uncritical acceptance of energy production technologies. After about ten years of cooperation and physiological formal experimentation, Benoit Jallon and Umberto Napolitano do appear determined to continue along the path they have staked out for themselves, towards the difficult art of “city-making” which has always been a peculiarity and at the same time an obstinate ambition of the Italian architectonic tradition.

ARIU+VALLINO ARCHITETTI SUMMER HOUSES

with an introduction by L. Molinari

with an introduction by F. Prati

Casalogica, a residential project realized in the Po Valley in the Province of Bologna, is positioned in an empty lot in an urban fabric characterized by the presence of two compact buildings from the early Fifties, which were recovered as part of a unitary project.

Encircled by a still intact belt of Medieval walls, enclosed within an urban plan whose empty spaces still prevail within the densely built sorroundings. Piazza Garibaldi represents an important episode in the redevelopment of the historical centre of Lastra a Signa.

The volume concerns the new summer houses built in an area in front of the pine wood which defines the skyline of Spotorno. The project is articulated in a number of simple terraced volumes that follow the morphologic development of the surroundings.

with an introduction by M. Marandola

Giovanni Traverso and Paola Vighy develop along a coherent trajectory that leads to the creation of light buildings based on experimentation, prefabrication and a sparing use of resources; they cooperate with local craftsmen and try to find an equilibrium between traditional knowledge and technological optimization.

This project is about an old building from the Fifties, which has undergone radical renovations to become a sport center devoted to tennis. The activities of Lapo Ruffi focus on a continuous research on the meanings of way of living, places and materials.

The elegant construction of the Cittadella dell’Edilizia combines urban identity and architectural quality with innovative requirements in terms of energy efficiency and reduced costs, becoming an example and manifesto for architects and builders.

ARCHITECTURE ON THE ROAD Series

ON THE ROAD, the series dedicated to cities all over the world, in addition to the classical paper format is also available as an App for Ipad. Every volume tells the story of a place, explored through its masterpieces of art and architecture. Critical and descriptive texts serve as essential complement to the section with in-depth studies of the selected places of interest. An introductory essay examines the development of the city in urbanistic and territorial terms, providing a historical overview which prepares us for an attentive tour of the city, while the second essay explores its contemporary reality. Each guide is accompanied by a practical map which is folded so as to serve as a removable dust jacket for the book. All the works described inside the book are featured on the back of the map, organized in itineraries. The volume also contains useful information and advice which will make it simpler to visit the city, reducing the time necessary to get around and making it possible to grasp the essence of the place also in a short visit. In addition to all the contents found in the paper volume, the App boasts additional images and is a useful tool for finding oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way, thanks to the interactive satellite map.

Milan is the first Italian city to be included in the ON THE ROAD travel guide collection. The guide will be published in 2015 to coincide with the World’s Trade Fair in Milan. In recent years, Milan has become a metropolis involved in transformations that are well worthy of interest for the architectural and urbanistic experiments that have been carried out. The complex dialectics between innovation and respect for the existing urban form is the distinctive characteristic of Milan: recovery of downgraded neighbourhoods, redevelopment of decommissioned industrial zones, technological experimentation, and vertical development are the aspects that mark Milan as a strongly contemporary city. This guide is being launched in answer to a moment of great focus on Milan. As it guides the reader through the wide range of

ON THE ROAD Series ARCHITECTURE

MOSCOW edited by A. De Magistris and U. Zanetti

The last fifteen years of Russian history have profoundly altered Moscow, bringing dramatic changes to the Communist city it was in the eighties. These alterations have increasingly highlighted Moscowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many contrasts and multiple facets. The guide seeks to do more than just recount and illustrate the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architectural history. It strives to be a tool to study the building trends that have shaped it. After a short introduction and the essential information needed to plan a visit, the book includes several essays that give the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical context and then critically consider its possible future developments. The itineraries include about

a hundred architectural works, both historical and contemporary, which are fully illustrated with images, drawings and descriptions, and are marked on the front of the map with a reference number corresponding to the section in the book and the icon on the back of the map. The guide also provides information about museums, libraries, institutions, movie theaters, restaurants and gathering places. The app includes all the information in the printed version, plus additional images and information. You can also customize your itineraries, choosing places to visit and using a satellite interactive map to find out immediately how to get to them, on foot or by public transport.

The volume also contains useful information and advice which will make it easier and quicker to get around the city, making it possible to capture the essence of the place even in a short visit. This is more than simply an architecture guide: it is also and above all an invitation to travel. In addition to featuring all the contents of the paper format, the App vaunts additional images and information; thanks to the interactive satellite map it is also a valuable aid to finding one’s way.

Hamburg is the first “destination” presented by ON THE ROAD, the series of architecture guides available in a classical paper format or as Ipad App. An introduction featuring three critical treatises outlines the historic and urbanistic profile of the city, allowing the reader to reflect on the evolution of the city and at the same time relate it to the contemporary image of the places. The selection of 75 projects, organized in 5 itineraries, provides a full-immersion in architecture, allowing the reader to dwell on the functional, typological and compositive aspects of the buildings, which are rendered even more legible by images and technical 2

KARIM RASHID

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Karim Rashid is more than a designer, with unbounded popularity expressing the personality of a complete artist. His global creativity, interpretation of a form of sensual, minimalist design that has conquered the market with more than 3000 designs currently in production, is multi-faceted and eccentric, with a more than ordinary ability to perceive the reactions and sensations generated by space and everything that occupies it. Karim Rashid has a dream: using design to change the worldâ&#x20AC;?. (M. Casamonti)

ALBERTO BIASI

NEW

with an essay by S. Lemoine

Alberto Biasi is one of the major figures in Italian post-war art history. He is one of the most coherent and authoritative experts in the world in the field of Programmed Art or Kinetic Art, also referred to as Optical Art. Forma Edizioni presents the catalogue of the exhibition on the occasion of the monographic exhibition at the Tornabuoni Art Gallery in Paris in collaboration with the artist himself and curated by Serge Lemoine (Professor emeritus at the Sorbonne and previously director of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris). The publication presents a detailed history of Alberto Biasi’s life and work, comprehensively portrayed through the critical text by Lemoine, describing the Maestro’s life, the most important places and fundamental stages of his career, as well as his artistic evolution. The text is enriched with images from historic archives, to introduce the complete collection of the works on show, with the addition of certain “iconic pieces” which have been milestones in the artist’s career.

A large section is dedicated to his career (biography, bibliography, solo and collective exhibitions): it enriches the book, providing in-depth analysis useful in understanding the artist and his specific artistic expression.

ALBERTO BIASI with an essay by S. Lemoine

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alberto Biasi created a simple, direct and approachable art, structured by a positivist goal, based on the use of programmed, controlled techniques, relying on experimentation, opened to society, carrying surprise and beauty. A beautiful ideal indeed.â&#x20AC;? S. Lemoine

HUMAN ANTONY GORMLEY edited by A. Natalini and S. Risaliti with an essay by A. Benjamin

HUMAN is the catalogue curated by Arabella Natalini and Sergio Risaliti, of the exhibition by one of the world’s most recognised and appreciated contemporary artists, Antony Gormley. Once again the exceptional architecture of the Forte di Belvedere in Florence forms the background to a remarkable exhibition that should not be missed. Over a hundred iron sculptures are arranged in the grounds and building of the Medici fortress and will form an integral part of the monument for several months. The amazing exhibition is described and narrated in this richly illustrated catalogue containing important art critiques by

COMING SOON

Andrew Benjamin, Marco Casamonti, Mario Codognato and Sergio Risaliti. A long conversation between Antony Gormley and Arabella Natalini offers an insight into the personality of the artist, his intentions, the way he visually perceives and captures the acoustics of the spaces in which he positions his anthropomorphic figures. The catalogue also offers the possibility of looking behind the scenes at some of Gormley’s design projects: digital rendering computer graphics of completed projects that provide a fascinating counterpoint to the texts.

It is more than just an exhibition catalogue, was it contains, in addition to detailed illustrations of all of the works installed for the exhibition at these two extraordinary Florentine locations, important documents and additional information useful for understanding the artist and his work. The text is structured around a long conversation between Giuseppe Penone and Arabella Natalini, accompanied by drawings from the artist's sketchbook. Numerous contributions by internationally renowned critics present many points of reflection on the body of work of one of the most important exponents of the Arte Povera movement. Among the others, texts

by Sergio Risaliti, Arabella Natalini, Matteo Ceriana, Alfred Pacquement, Michael Brenson, Laurent Busine and Daniela Lancioni. A section devoted to biographical and bibliographical matter and a summary of the exhibited works, together with a large collection of images from the Archivio Penone, offers an important overview of the artist's prolific career.

MIMMO PALADINO A FIRENZE

COMING SOON

edited by S. Risaliti photographs by A. Amendola and F. Scianna

This volume, edited by Sergio Risaliti and realized with the precious collaboration of the artist himself, illustrates, with images by leading photographers as Scianna and Amendola, the three artistic experiences Mimmo Paladino has shared with the city of Florence. The first in order of time is the exhibition hosted at the Forte Belvedere in 1993, where about a hundred works created in the previous five years were united. Horsemen, helmets, “warrior” sculptures interacted with the extraordinary Florentine scenery from the terrace of the fortress, while the manor house hosted numerous paintings. Ferdinando Scianna has immortalized those days in many images that witness and tell the story about that “incursion” in the placid view of the city. Aurelio Amendola’s images, on the contrary, document the two other occasions in which the city has interacted with the art

of Mimmo Paladino, in 2009 with Zenith, the imposing bronze horse that guards the ancient space of the Men’s Court of the Istituto degli Innocenti, and subsequently with Florens 2012, in Piazza Santa Croce. A gigantic cross measuring 80×50 meters has been formed by placing more than 50 blocks of Carrara marble in front of the Franciscan basilica. The pages with critical contributions and descriptions of the works are enriched by the artist’s personal testimonial. The final part features biographic and bibliographic appendixes, the index of the exhibitions and all information necessary to trace the profile of Mimmo Paladino. This editorial project also envisages the creation of a limited edition of 100 copies contained in a refined wooden casket which will act as a support base for a signed and numbered work in marble by maestro Mimmo Paladino.

stories of devotion, adoration of the shepherds and magi, each brushstroke creating scenes exuding spirituality, emotion, personality and strength. Faith and paganism weave together with stories of heroes and gods and new takes on classical myths. We also see plenty of reality here, “real life” in all its hard work, depicted in gestures, poses, food and flower compositions, and pretty views. A few of the many artists included in this impressive publication are: Giovan Filippo Criscuolo, Francesco Guarino, Bernardo Cavallino, Antonio De Bellis, Salvator Rosa, Luca Giordano, Giovan Battista Ruoppolo, Abraham Brueghel, Guglielmo Courtois, Juan Ruiz, Tomás Ruiz, Pierre-Jacques Volaire, and Charles-François Grenier De La Croix.

di Carla e Francesco Francesco Valerio Valerio

The Neapolitan school of painting assumed its personal artistic identity from the 17th century onwards through the work of several important artists influenced by the teachings of Caravaggio who lived in Naples between 1607 and 1610. Over one hundred paintings representing three centuries of history and belonging to the “Neapolitan Collection” of Carla and Francesco Valerio are featured in this volume; the paintings are described and illustrated in great detail by Nicola Spinosa. Spinosa has written many books on the topic and is considered a leading expert in Neapolitan painting. His detailed introductions precede the descriptions of the individual works, containing stories both sacred and profane. The book contains a series of portraits of saints and

DADAMAINO texts by B. Blistène, F. Gualdoni

No matter how one approaches Dadamaino’s work, it resists any attempt at classification. It shirks from it. One thought she was Informal in the 1950’s, then almost Kinetic in the following years. One saw her as Minimalist and Serialist in the 1970’s. One related her to Arte Povera and even Conceptual Art in-between. What is she, exactly, and why does she get our attention today, with increasing acuity and curiosity? Between categories and reason, it is possible that Dadamaino confronts us to the difficulty of judging, and this might even be one of the most important aspects of her work. There is no submission to a given order. No ties to a movement. No belonging. Something, in fact, that is in perfect sync with that woman as we know her. Revolted and engaged, militant and free. If wouldn’t be the least merit of this work to be equal to the woman who made it. Dadamaino is no more an offspring of Spatialism than she is an epigone of kinetic art; no more a follower of European minimalist art than she is a representative of some forms of process-oriented art with which she has too often been associated. She is all of that at once, keen on drawing specific convergence lines, different objectives and unique perspectives. A common point ties her works together, however: Dadamaino has a taste for experience, as well as for patience. For her, patience and experience even seem to be the two foundations for any kind of attentive work – if not a philosophy of creation. B. Blistène

BIANCO ITALIA

“...The white line, which seemed to mark the passage toward the second half of the twentieth century, introduced a creative vibration and announced socio-political and artistic transformations. It was in itself a symbol of a universal questioning.A generation was born, which was able to confront reality, and invented an art so powerful that it added a new dimension to creation – which, in the post-war years, was yearning for an artistic and spiritual renovation, engaged in an attempt to redefine modernity. In Manzoni’s words, a ‘new artistic conception’, a spirit of resistance, was opposed to the triumphant materialism of the emerging consumer society. It seemed as though European idealism wished to counter-balance the cynicism of artists such as Warhol; it responded to the American Pop movement with a ‘Zen’ attitude that the color white spectacularly embodied.” (D. Stella)

luciana rattazzi

Una preziosa consigliera. Così la giudicò in cuor suo all’ennesimo foglio strappato con

luciana rattazzi

delicatezza dall’album da disegno. Era una carta vegetale color avorio dalla grana filamentosa e disomogenea che quando ci stendevi sopra la polvere nera disegnava già da sola quello che voleva, assorbendo in maniera diversa luci e ombre e lasciando, lungo la traccia, delle improvvise zone immacolate, restie ad essere trattate, e altrettante zone oscure che sembravano assorbire tutto il nero del mondo, tanto da non poterne più accettare. Una buona consigliera, certo. Da quella carta lei si lasciava suggerire, seguendo le tracce della visione che sembrava comparire ogni qualvolta stendeva la prima passata di carboncino; quello che lei aveva in testa di disegnare doveva prima fare i conti con quella sindone benevola che appariva ogni volta, anticipando ogni sua intenzione, per affermare la sua partecipazione ideale al progetto, svelandole, ancora una volta, l’ineffabile intelligenza delle cose materiali. Così disegnava senza pensare troppo a quello che sarebbe apparso sul foglio, piuttosto incuriosita da quello che insieme avrebbero saputo fare. A volte era un piacere, a volte una battaglia.

A precious advisor. That is how her heart judged the last of many sheets carefully torn from the sketchbook. It was a piece of ivory vegetal paper with an uneven fibrous grain that when she spread the black powder on it drew already by itself what it wanted, absorbing the powder with different shadings of light and shadow leaving, along the way, sudden bare spots that refused it, and others so dark they seemed to absorb all the blackness of the world to the point that they could take no more. A good advisor, certainly. She allowed herself to receive suggestions from that paper, following the traces of the vision that seemed to appear every time she laid the first coat of charcoal; what she had in mind to draw had to deal first with that benevolent syndrome that appeared every time, forever anticipating her intentions, to declare its own ideal participation in the project, revealing, once again, the mysterious intelligence of material things. And so she drew without thinking too much about what would appear on the page but, indeed, rather curious about what together they would succeed in doing. Sometimes it was a pleasure, but many times it was a battle.

GIUSEPPE CHIARI texts by F. Migliorati with an introduction by E. Crispolti

This volume is dedicated to the work of Giuseppe Chiari (1926-2010), an eclectic and experimental artist and composer from Florence, Italian promoter of the historical avant-garde of the research art. His work is here documented by a large volume published in the Art section of Forma Edizioni. This book represents an important overview of the artist’s work comprising about 900 works of half a century of production. The volume is enhanced by the critical essays of Fabio Migliorati in collaboration with Mario Chiari, the artist’s son.

“The work of Giuseppe Chiari is based on a discourse on the freedom to act (to make art), ritualized in experience, as reference to human constancy, closely linked to the social and political dimension of things, all through the performance of the work, the action of the object, in the movement which is accomplished from the musical intervention to the visual one. The artistic principle is an allegory of the pursuit of a free action, which means creativity and which is both inspired by and leading to it.” (F. Migliorati)

MIMMO ROTELLA

On the occasion of the exhibition “Mimmo Rotella” which opened on March 29, 2012 at Tornabuoni Art gallery in Paris, Forma edizioni presents a catalogue with all the works in the exhibition as well as some other pieces that are essential to understand the artist. The images are introduced by a critical essay by Bruno Corà. “Fifty years separate this festive and meaningful réntrée of the art of Mimmo Rotella in Paris from his first individual exhibition at Jeanette Goldschmidt’s Galerie J, which featured a selection of monothematic décollages dedicated to the Cinecittà series (1962). And it is unlikely that Rotella would have failed to stress such an anniversary...” (B. Corà)

Le vécu de Rotella révèle une relation souterraine avec son décollage, puisque l’action de soustraction des affiches, qu’il réélabore ensuite dans son atelier, aux murs de la ville fait éclore à ses yeux, avant même ceux des autres, la complexité du réel, la superposition fortuite et indéterminable de récits, de messages, de signes et de couleurs différents, une densité phénoménologique […] déréalisée, affabulatrice, simulatrice, intrinsèque à la sphère de la publicité, du monde des produits et des biens, du spectacle et de la fiction. L’artiste découvre que si l’affiche est simulacre de la réalité, dans une société consumériste et du spectacle, il peut parvenir à rendre, avec cette irréalité, sa propre vie quotidienne dialectique, en interprétant avec ironie bien des rôles distinctifs et autant de personnages, en mettant un terme au cliché de la rigueur et du pathos attribué habituellement à la figure de l’artiste.

24x30 cm; 184 pages; fra/ita/eng bound hardback with dust jacket

Il vissuto di Rotella rivela una relazione sotterranea con il suo décollage, poiché l’azione sottrattiva dai muri della città dei manifesti che successivamente egli elabora nel suo studio dischiudono, prima che agli altri, ai suoi stessi occhi, la complessità del reale, la sovrapposizione casuale e indeterminabile di narrazioni, messaggi, segni e colori diversi, una densità fenomenologica […] derealizzata, affabulatoria, simulatrice, congenita alla sfera della pubblicità, del mondo dei prodotti e delle merci, dello spettacolo e della finzione. L’artista scopre che se il manifesto è un simulacro della realtà, in una società consumista e spettacolare, egli può arrivare a rendere dialettica, con quella irrealtà, la sua stessa vita quotidiana, interpretando ironicamente molti ruoli distintivi e altrettanti personaggi, interrompendo un cliché di rigore e pathos attribuito di solito alla figura dell’artista.

Rotella’s experience reveals a secret relationship with his décollage, as the action of removing posters from the walls of the city to then work on them in his atelier, discloses – first of all to himself – the complexity of reality, the casual and indeterminable superimposition of different stories, messages, signs and colours, a phenomenological density […] unreal, fantastic, fake, characteristic of the advertising sector, of the world of products and goods, of entertainment and fiction. The artist discovers that if the poster is a simulacrum of reality, in a society oriented towards consumerism and entertainment, he may succeed in establishing a dialogue between that unreality and his own everyday life, ironically interpreting many distinctive roles and as many personalities, revolting against the cliché of rigour and pathos that is usually associated with the figure of the artist.

TOUT FEU TOUT FLAMME

On the occasion of the exhibition “Tout feu tout flamme” at Tornabuoni Art in Paris, Forma edizioni presents a catalogue with all the works in the exhibition as well as some other unedited images that show the artists at work and are essential to understand them. A critical essay by Daniel Abadie, curator of the catalogue and of the exhibition introduces the different sections, dedicated to the biography and the works of each artist. Tornabuoni Art and Daniel Abadie bring together for the first time 40 of the most outstanding works of the greatest artists who used fire for their artworks. Rather than the representation of fire it is its involvement with the artists who reveal it as a fundamental element of their creative process. This exhibition shows the different ways in which artists perceive fire, a phenomenon that has always been a fascination. The living aspect of flames, the moving play of light and shadow and the range of colours they produce, make them into cultural tools, considered a real source of inspiration for artists. Fire is shapeless, perpetually

changes, and it allows great freedom of interpretation: from Yves Klein’s “Paintings of Fire” to Alberto Burri’s “Combustions”, Arman’s “Accumulations” and Bernard Aubertin’s “Paths of Fire”; from Jannis Kounellis’ artifice of the “flower of fire” and Christian Boltanski’s “eschatological shadows” to Pier Paolo Calzolari’s “icy burns” or Chen Zhen’s “ashes”.

TURI SIMETI with an essay by B. Corà

For many years, Turi Simeti has been one of the principal figures on the contemporary artistic and exhibition scene. Over fifty works taken from his long career are collected in this publication that Forma Edizioni has dedicated to his oeuvre on the occasion of the monographic exhibition that will be held at the Tornabuoni Art gallery in Paris from October 10, 2014. A critique by Bruno Corà acts as an introduction to a selection of Turi Simeti’s works, retracing the progressive stages of his artistic development; the artist gradually detached himself from the flat surface of his canvas, and using recurring elements or contrasting harmony of form, he developed new compositions strong in intensity and movement. A section written in collaboration with the Simeti archives closes the publication providing biographical and bibliographical details on personal and collective exhibitions necessary for a deeper understanding of the artist and his work.

ENRICO CASTELLANI

FONTANA E PARIGI

with an essay by B. Blistène

texts by E. Crispolti with an introduction by F. Migliorati

“Enrico Castellani” is a monograph and a catalogue of the exhibition of the artist, hosted in Tonabuoni Art gallery in Paris. The exhibition has shown off about forty of his most significant works, illustrated and accompanied in the volume by texts of Bernard Blistène. Enrico Castellani, who was born in 1930, is one of the leading figures of the artistic and cultural movement “Zero”, which aims to renew the language of image and form in the 50s and 60s. Thanks to the collaboration of the Castellani Archive, the volume, in a trilingual French/Italian/English edition, decribes the creative and artistic contribution of this protagonist of XXth century art. A large critical section is devoted to the bio-bibliography and to the list of exhibitions in which Castellani has participated.

The volume explores, through a selection of approximately seventy works, including sculptures and paintings, the Master’s artistic activity from the 50s onwards. The critical essays by Enrico Crispolti enrich the text by providing some important insights into the life of Lucio Fontana, on his visits to Paris and Milan, during which he continued to hold a dense network of exchanges and relations with artists, architects and intellectuals of his time. Vintage photographs, direct quotations from the artist and a thorough biography contextualize the art of Fontana in the specific cultural climate in which he lived and help to better understand the evolutionary spirit of this personality who, until his death, has been driven by a constant creative tension.
