Book Description
Fausto Melotti's uniquely lyrical sculptures This co-publication with Hauser & Wirth will be released on the occasion of their inaugural exhibition of Fausto Melotti, curated by Douglas Fogle at Hauser & Wirth New York. With never before published historical material from the archive of the Fausto Melotti Foundation, this extensively illustrated publication will provide insight into the work of an artist yet to be discovered by the American public. The late Italian sculptor, installation artist, and poet Fausto Melotti (1901-1986) is admired for his unique contribution to the development of mid-century European Modernism. The artist, who was active for six decades, moved freely between mediums, incorporating brass, stainless steel, ceramics and fabric into uniquely lyrical sculptures. Creating drawings and mixed media works, the artist drew from his rich background in music, mathematics and engineering. The book will feature a text by Douglas Fogle, an independent curator and writer based in Los Angeles, who has previously served as curator at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Exhibition: Hauser & Wirth, New York, 20/4-18/6/2016

Book Description
"Fausto Melotti (Rovereto, 1901 - Milan, 1986) is one of the most important Italian artists of the 20th century. From his pioneering experiments with abstraction in the 1930s to his fragile explorations of space in brass and dreamlike narratives in ceramics of the 1970s and 1980s, Melotti has been a major and influential figure in the development of Italian art. This retrospective at Acquavella Galleries covers the entire range of Melotti's contribution to modern art and provides the first opportunity for American audiences to appreciate the unique nature of his art. In creating his work, Melotti harmoniously fused his love for music, passion for poetry and gift for mathematics with a sense of dreamlike fantasy. Melotti's early sculptures in plaster and steel reflect the mathematical rules of music and the geometry of classical beauty while his later works in plaster, I teatrini (Theaters), present imaginary scenes inhabited by fantastic objects and characters. Melotti's great achievement is to express freedom of thought and dream in three dimensions. Thanks to the significant contributions of Elena Geuna, Germano Celant and Steven Nash, this is the first U.S. monograph to provide a detailed analysis of this important artist's entire artistic journey."--Provided by publisher

Italo Calvino's Architecture of Lightness
Author: Letizia Modena
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136730591
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
This study recovers Italo Calvino's central place in a lost history of interdisciplinary thought, politics, and literary philosophy in the 1960s. Drawing on his letters, essays, critical reviews, and fiction, as well as a wide range of works--primarily urban planning and design theory and history--circulating among his primary interlocutors, this book takes as its point of departure a sweeping reinterpretation of Invisible Cities. Passages from Calvino's most famous novel routinely appear as aphorisms in calendars, posters, and the popular literature of inspiration and self-help, reducing the novel to vague abstractions and totalizing wisdom about thinking outside the box. The shadow of postmodern studies has had a similarly diminishing effect on this text, rendering up an accomplished but ultimately apolitical novelistic experimentation in endless deconstructive deferrals, the shiny surfaces of play, and the ultimately rigged game of self-referentiality. In contrast, this study draws on an archive of untranslated Italian- and French-language materials on urban planning, architecture, and utopian architecture to argue that Calvino's novel in fact introduces readers to the material history of urban renewal in Italy, France, and the U.S. in the 1960s, as well as the multidisciplinary core of cultural life in that decade: the complex and continuous interplay among novelists and architects, scientists and artists, literary historians and visual studies scholars. His last love poem for the dying city was in fact profoundly engaged, deeply committed to the ethical dimensions of both architecture and lived experience in the spaces of modernity as well as the resistant practices of reading and utopian imagining that his urban studies in turn inspired.
