Books – Ragnar Kjartansson. Me and My Mother
July 6~2010
Me and My Mother is a flipbook realized by Mousse Publishing in conjunction with the eponymous Ragnar Kjartansson exhibition at EX3 Contemporary Art Center in Florence. The book recreates two of the three videos in the project, dividing them into a sequence of images that gradually change from one page to the next, to highlight the three key elements in the work: the maternal figure, an apparently scornful action, and chronological spacing that underscores the inexorable flow of time.

Bolzano – Nico Vascellari’s performance
July 1~2010
Tomorrow at 7:45 PM, the glass façade of the Museion will become the backdrop for a musical event and performance featuring Nico Vascellari and Z’ev, an American poet and musician who has been a pioneering figure in industrial music. Vascellari’s spontaneity, physical energy and voice will encounter the American performer’s dark, metallic percussions. Following this, there will be a concert by French jazz musician Médéric Collignon.
The evening will also offer the perfect setting for the presentation of a new monograph on Nico Vascellari, published by Mousse for the artist’s exhibition in Bolzano: 150 pages long, with hundreds of photos that capture the spirit of his cathartic performances—from Cuckoo to Gnawing My Own Teeth Behind A Closed Door—the intense hardcore concerts of his band, Lago Morto, and his sculptures and collages, as well as the places and objects that have inspired him, it winds up with a photographic catalogue that is a selection of covers from his extraordinary collection of record albums. The catalogue includes texts by Letizia Ragaglia and Andrea Lissoni in Italian, German, and English.
