CAMMINARE L'RIZZONTE: FINESTRE
Susanna Baumgartner, Ermanno Cristini
La Centrale Edizioni, editorial series la c. and la a., vol. 42, March 2023, 116 pages
There are spaces that are "drawn" by a window; on this premise Susanna Baumgartner and Ermanno Cristini have created a project that has involved various artists and which has developed over a couple of years through four exhibitions in as many artists' studios. The intention was to walk on tiptoe in the spaces experiencing the peculiarity of the "air" or, if you prefer, the landscape that is generated in each space. Cosimo Filippini has created a story in images, which together with the dialogue between the two editors gave life to this publication.
PROSSIMAMENTE. LA MOSTRA
curated by Ermanno Cristini, Luca Scarabelli
The story in pictures by Rebecca Bogni and Pierluigi Fresia, is published by the central editions (www.la-c.tk). The graphic project, curated by Giancarlo Norese, is inspired by the Cahiers du Cinéma, a milestone of cinematographic experimentation after the Second World War. The book is made in two versions, one with a flexible cover and printing on uncoated paper, the other with a hardcover and high definition printing on coated paper.

DOPPIO STALLO
by Emanno Cristini, Rossella Moratto, Giancarlo Norese
Started like a correspondence between Ermanno Cristini and Rossella Moratto, the resulting text has traveled the suspended time of an imaginary game of chess with no chance of solution. In the void of suspension have "happened" two exhibitions, one in Milan and one in Naples, which involved 63 artists, all of them commit to wasting time.
It was then born, with Giancarlo Norese, the idea of developing a book, initiated and never finished, but of which sare preserved some traces in this book.

GIVING FORM TO PRECARIOUSNESS, In Design of the Unfinished. A New Way of Designing Leftovers Regeneration, Luciano Crespi (Ed.), 2021
The architectural “leftovers” that distinguish the current urban landscape also constitute a focus for artistic research, which is committed to measuring itself with the concepts of temporariness and precariousness, intended as constitutive elements of contemporary culture. Throughout the look for a new paradigm inspired by the ethics of the wanderer, the relationship with architectural “leftovers” can go beyond a static vision of their recovery as containers. In fact, we can look at them thinking about light, mobile and non-definitive interventions. The attempt is to “negotiate” with the space in order to “giving form to precariousness”. This way, the artistic interventions would not only rethink the status of work of art, but they would also redefine the identity of the places for cultural, nomadic and other new uses. The chapter analyses these issues by examining two case histories: the exhibitions of Dialogos project ( at AssabOne, a former printshop in Milan, and at VitrínaDeniska a former shop-window in Olomouc in the Czech Republic) and Sopra-Sotto (a former supermarket in Sesto Calende, in Italy).
