Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Foundation: "Jannis Kounellis - Atto Unico" (September 24, 2006 - February 11, 2007) curated by Bruno Corà.


Conceived in the form of a vast plastic organism, this great creation by Jannis Kounellis bears in its central axis a morphological concatenation resulting from a single emotional design. At the basis of this imaginary structuring is the labyrinthine spatial layout that drags everything with it into its enigmatic figure of mythical destiny.

On this system, in which the metamorphic rule supports the entire poetic tension, Kounellis traces his "fresco" in space, with a "spotted" dramaturgy that affects, together with the place and the city, the problematic current affairs of an entire history, approached with the tools of an emblematic language that does not renounce its constructive dream and the idea of ​​a possible development of its imaginary premises.

Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Foundation: "Tutto è felice nella vita dell'arte" (September 30 - December 11, 2015) curated by Luciano Caprile and Stefano Esengrini.

Paying tribute to Giovanni Carandente means, above all, paying tribute to art—and more specifically, to sculpture of the second half of the 20th century. Smith, Moore, Calder, Chillida, and Caro are just some of the artists whom Carandente insightfully interpreted over the course of five decades. In collaboration with Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive Spoleto – Carandente Museum, the exhibition aims to retrace the key stages of an adventure that began in 1962 in Spoleto, during the fifth Festival of Two Worlds, when 102 works by leading Italian and international sculptors were installed throughout the city’s streets and squares, giving rise to a groundbreaking open-air sculpture exhibition.

Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Foundation: "1961 Tempo di Continuità" (September 24 - December 19, 2014) curated by Flaminio Gualdoni.

With this exhibition, the Foundation presents the first in-depth exploration of a brief yet intense chapter that marked the early 1960s in Italy from an international perspective: the Continuità group. It was a story of exhibitions, of course—but above all, a story of friendships, encounters, and shared enthusiasm, in which a group of leading artists experienced the season preceding their full artistic maturity.

Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Foundation: "Bread and Roses" (March 25 - July 17, 2015) curated by Marco Meneguzzo.

The expression “Bread and Roses”, which links bread to material needs and roses to the necessity of nourishing oneself with social bonds, passions, and knowledge, masterfully encapsulates the human need to feed both body and spirit. The phrase, originally coined by Marx, later taken up by the American suffragettes, and adopted by the labor movement as early as 1912, has become the title of the exhibition curated by Marco Meneguzzo, who invited five artists to express—each through their own creative language—the idea of “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.”

Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Foundation. "Enrico Baj. Bambini, ultracorpi & altre storie" (September 25 - December 20, 2013) curated by Flaminio Gualdoni. 

Enrico Baj possesses not only a solid cultural background, but also a voracious curiosity and an intellectual brilliance that allows him to unravel not only the concrete facts of art, but also their situational and worldly context. This is why, even before his painting finds a clear direction, he already understands that forming a movement, launching manifestos, creating a network of like-minded allies, and choosing worthy adversaries is no less essential [...]

The volume collects the entire corpus of Gastone Novelli's writings drawn up from 1943 to 1968, both those that have remained unpublished until today, and those already published by Achille Perilli in 1976 in a monographic issue of the Grammatica magazine.

A collection of texts that crosses the history of artistic and political Italy in the second half of the twentieth century and at the same time offers an unfiltered account of the life of this figure, who was not only a painter and artist, but also a teacher, a fervent polemic, publisher, writer and political activist.

Carla Accardi was one of the most important figures in international contemporary art.

She was the only woman among the founders of the Forma 1 group, a protagonist of the Italian Femmist movement, and contributed to the development of Abstractism in Italy.

This volume takes us on a journey to discover the continuous and multifaceted artistic experimentation of this great painter, who used colour, shapes, signs and innovative materials - such as sicofoil - to create works into which we literally enter, let ourselves be enveloped by light, colours, shapes and signs and set off on a new adventure and exploration of the self.

This book is in Italian.

An ancient Chinese saying goes: "Infinity is a square without corners." This shape has always symbolized the idea of enclosure, of home, of country, and accompanies human life in everyday situations — from churches to town squares, from road signs to advertising posters, from Chinese ideograms to Pythagorean tables.

Once again, Bruno Munari amazes us with a work that straddles history, anthropology, and the natural sciences — naturally, in a square format.

This volume, along with The Circle and The Triangle, is part of a special trilogy by Munari dedicated to these shapes, their history, meanings, and uses.

From the plant structure of coconuts to the layout of human settlements according to Le Corbusier, the shape of the equilateral triangle appears—both in nature and in human creations—in a wide variety of contexts.

A basic geometric shape alongside the circle and the square, the equilateral triangle lends itself to modular combinations, generating structured fields in which countless other forms can be created. From classical Arab and Japanese decorative art to the contemporary architecture of Buckminster Fuller and Wright, the study of the equilateral triangle—in all its aspects and formal and structural possibilities—has led to fascinating and thought-provoking results and experiments.

Dopo i volumi dedicati al quadrato e al cerchio, vengono ora riproposti gli spunti e le riflessioni di Bruno Munari a proposito delle decine di usi nei secoli di questa affascinante e misteriosa forma, originariamente pubblicati nel 1976 per Zanichelli nella collana da lui stesso curata Quaderni di design.

“God is a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.”

The circle is associated with perfection, cyclicality, and the superiority of the divine, but also with instability and motion. In nature, soap bubbles are spherical, and the growth rings of trees are circular. Legend has it that Giotto’s “O” was a perfect circle, while perfection becomes tangible in Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo and Botticelli’s Madonna and Child. King Arthur’s knights gathered around a round table to symbolize their equality—just as today we gather in circles to make decisions or watch a performance.

In this extraordinary little encyclopedia, Bruno Munari collects and describes dozens of uses of this fascinating and mysterious shape throughout the centuries—at once as unstable as it is hieratic.

Together with The Square and The Triangle, it is part of a special trilogy dedicated to these shapes, their history, meanings, and uses.
