The Teaching Tree is a kinetic sculpture by Muhannad Shono created for the Saudi Arabian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (23 April ? 27 November 2022), curated by Reem Fadda. Composed of hundreds of intertwined palm leaves painted black, the work has the appearance of an enormous feathered being, an allusion to the power of nature, an inexhaustible source of mutability and rebirth. The artist?s investigation is rooted precisely in the ancestral force of Nature, in its creative and at the same time destructive potential. The Teaching Tree is a manifestation of the irrepressible creative spirit: the embodiment of a living imagination, which grows despite the teachings that seek to tear it down. Any restrictions on the human mind only create fertile ground for stronger, more resilient forms of expression.00 The catalogue documents the installation with evocative photographs and, more generally, provides insight into Shono?s work through critical essays and an interview with the artist. The contributions delve into some characteristic aspects of his work, such as the use of the colour black, the use of line, the reference to historical and mythological figures and the use of technology, as well as the idea of the garden as a creative space.00Exhibition: 59. Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte. National Pavillon of Saudi Arabia, Venice, Italy (23.04. - 27.11.2022).

Le città europee si trovano ad affrontare i medesimi problemi in materia ambientale: l'architettura del verde e del paesaggio, la qualità del costruito, l'uso dei materiali e dei prodotti per l'architettura. Una progettazione urbana che si possa dire ambientale richiede un approccio metodologico nuovo, orientato alla conservazione delle risorse, alla qualità architettonica, a una ricerca progettuale che garantisca una compresenza tra la dimensione estetica e la dimensione morfologica-funzionale. Limite, forma, spazio sono ancora oggi la materia del progetto di città. L'autore identifica tre concetti: il primo pone l'attenzione sulle città e i comparti edilizi che si sono decomposti perché hanno perso l'intreccio tra gli spazi pubblici di relazione e il costruito e tra la propria immagine urbana e il proprio limite; il secondo si fonda sul tentativo di ricomporre la città mediante una nuova idea di rinascita ambientale urbana che si fondi sulla corretta declinazione degli aspetti architettonici e paesaggistici in relazione a forme, materiali, attrezzature, percorsi ed elementi naturali e alla compresenza di aggregazioni sociali, culturali, ricreative e luoghi della memoria; il terzo analizza casi studio (Po-tsdamer Platz-Berlino, Innenhafen-Duisburg, Vastra Hamnen-Malmö, Hammarby-Stoccolma, Solar City Linz-Pichling-Linz, Rieselfeld-Friburgo) capaci di individuare soluzioni e regole per la qualità ambientale dello spazio residenziale.

Wall Writers explores graffiti's eruption into mainstream society in the period of social turmoil in the late 1960s and early '70s, and takes a closer look not only at early graffiti's place on the wall but its place in the culture of the time. More comprehensive than any other book on the subject, Wall Writers explores not only early graf writing itself but the writers creating it, the new technology of spray paint that made it possible, and the culture that drove them to write -- be it a need to rebel against the government, to pass a message, or simply be recognized by society. Hundreds of images of everything from spray paint advertisements to commercial greeting cards to images of buildings completely covered in spray painted monikers are included, and reveal the context of the beginnings of a movement that would eventually grow to "transform city life, public transit, public art, and ultimately visual art the world over." Includes interviews and profiles of some of the most prolific writers of the time, including TAKI 183, Cornbread, and dozens more.

The first book to exclusively present Cleto Munari's latest creations in the field of the applied arts: a unique collection of art carpets. Cleto Munari was born in Gorizia and he lives and works in Vicenza. After meeting Carlo Scarpa in 1973, who encouraged him in his work, he decided to focus his attention on the area of industrial design, and began to work for some of the most important companies in the world. Constantly in search of original ideas, over the years he has tirelessly been engaged in analyzing and experimenting with both forms and material. In 1985 he opened a laboratory-studio-jeweler's, where, together with a group of worldclass architects, he designs and produces silver jewelry and other objects for avant-garde collections that truly represent historical revolutions in jewelry both in Italy and abroad, and have also led to the production of watches, pens and furniture. Cleto Munari's objects have entered the permanent collections of some of the world's top museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This book is the first to exclusively present Cleto Munari's latest creations in the field of the applied arts. After his jewelery, silverware, watches and furnishings, the great designer has involved ten other designers and artists in the creation of a unique collection of art carpets. Signed by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Dario Fo, Mario Botta, Alessandro Mendini, Javier Mariscal, Ettore Mochetti, Deisa Centazzo, Sandro Chia, Mimmo Paladino and by Cleto Munari himself, these creations are full-fledged works of art and represent the high point of the skills and expertise of one of the greatest creative designers in the world, who has been designing and producing for over forty years.
