Ce deuxième volume du Catalogue raisonné des oeuvres de Mimmo Rotella (1918 - 2006), édité par Germano Celant, traite des oeuvres réalisées entre 1962 et 1973, lorsque Rotella a consolidé sa pratique du décollage dans ses aspects les plus graphiques et pop et a commencé à explorer les techniques de reproduction d'images photomécaniques. À travers une évolution chronologique, le Catalogue met en évidence les différentes étapes qui ont distingué sa pratique, permettant ainsi une lecture inclusive et documentée de cette période.

Mimmo Rotella: 1962-1973 ; catalogue raisonné Tome 2

Andy Warhol a factory

his catalogue, edited by Germano Celant, documents the first exhibition in the Middle East by KAWS (Brian Donnelly, born 1974, USA). The solo show explores his career and vast oeuvre and features painting and sculpture made over the past 20 years. KAWS' imagery has long possessed a sophisticated, dark humour, revealing the interplay between art and consumerism, referencing both art history and pop culture. Donnelly began his career in street art in the 1990s, becoming synonymous with the name KAWS, a tag that became a staple in his ‘sub-vertisments' (modifications of commercial works). Later on, through his toy figurines and larger-than-life sculptures, KAWS has become a global phenomenon — not just of the art world, but in popular culture as well. KAWS : HE EATS ALONE is presented at the Fire Station in Doha. The exhibition begins in the Garage Gallery where over 40 sculptures and paintings are displayed in a labyrinthine space designed by the New York studio 2×4. Across the courtyard above the café, the Archive showcases a collection of the artist's limited edition works. At the centre of the courtyard, the 5-metre-tall sculpture COMPANION (PASSING THROUGH) is seated with hands covering its eyes. The journey concludes at the Dhow Harbour on the Corniche, where the larger-than-life inflatable sculpture HOLIDAY reclines against the backdrop of the Doha city skyline.

Laura Grisi - The Measuring of Time

Vedova de America

American painter Lara Nickel's life-size installation in homage to Jannis Kounellis' Untitled (12 Horses), one of Arte Povera's most iconic artworks.

The horse has been represented in the history of art by almost every culture in every time period. In 1969, Jannis Kounellis (1936-2017) (a member of the Italian art movement Arte Povera) brought 12 living horses inside a gallery in Rome, creating areinterpreted image of the horse in an art context. Lara Nickel's homage is comprised of 12 life-size, realistic paintings of horses, positioned on the ground and installed perpendicularly to the wall. Presented in this non-traditional way, the images of horses appear to be standing in the room, making the architecture itself the setting of the paintings.
Nickel's 12 Horses - Homage to Jannis Kounellis uses painting as a sculptural intervention, inviting the audience to physically engage with the artwork. Using Kounellis' original piece as an art historical reference, Nickel's paintings are not only portraits of horses but painting-as-illusion, painting-as-object, and painting-as-situation.
