De Marchi, C 2013, MinD/Body, DUCTAC, Dubai | 2021, enhanced rE-print, EdiXion, Dubai.

Cristiana de Marchi was born in Italy, but lives between Dubai and Beirut. Artist and writer, she has been one of the protagonists of the cultural scene in the United Arab Emirates for years. MinD/Body, where MinD stands for “Made in Dubai”, catalogue of an exhibition held in Dubai in 2013, offers a passionate survey of the work of the most important artists who were born or live in the Emirates, observed through the lens of performance and the conflictual, yet essential, relationship between mind and body.

Pérez, M 2021, Fotografía y Política. La lucha por la democracia en Panamá, virtual exhibition catalogue | 2021, enhanced rE-print, EdiXion, Dubai.

Photography as archaeology of the present: news images are transformed into tessellae of a historical mosaic to reconstruct Panama’s most tormented decades. The project stems from collaboration with the Fototeca de Panamá and from the curatorial strategy of combining public archives with family collections and journalistic materials. For thirty years, until 1989, Panama became the theatre of military coups, civil protests, fierce political repression, up to the American invasion. The enhanced version of the volume integrates an immersive soundscape with gunshots, voices and urban noises that restore the dramatic nature of those years. In this match, emerging democracy and major international interests for control of the Canal confronted each other.

Crespi, A 2019, Barbara Nahmad. Oltremare, Federico Rui Arte contemporanea, Milan | 2021, enhanced rE-print, EdiXion, Milan.

Barbara Nahmad (Milan, 1967) has always used painting as a language of challenge and research, traversing themes that range from the intimacy of bodies to social visions. This new series of paintings dedicated to the Baltic marks a turn towards contemplation: the sea becomes a mental space where to seek a new horizon, between desire and omen, between our finite nature and the landscape of the infinite.

Favretto, S 2022, When art meets law. Authenticity and anxieties of the market, Giappichelli, Turin | 2022, enhanced rE-print, EdiXion, Milan.

The market for fake artworks generates a turnover that thrives in the shadows, fuelled by buyers who often rely only on the seller’s guarantees. Lawyer Sergio Favretto transforms the complexity of art law into an accessible narrative, guiding non-specialist readers through the dark areas of the international market. A militant essay that starts from emblematic cases. His book is a passionate plea in defence of artistic authenticity and a legal ethics of art.
