Alvin Curran – Live in Roma
a cura di Daniela Margoni Tortora
300 pag. Die Schachtel, 2010
Although Alvin Curran is almost universally recognized as one of the leading figures of the late 20th century musical avant-garde, he has never received the recognition he deserves in the form of a proper publication. This is, in fact, the first book ever to present a complete and coherent picture of this gigantic figure of experimental music. A radical experimentalism and a kind of innate volatility have, in fact, long kept the person and the work of Alvin Curran, one of the historic founders of the group Musica Elettronica Viva (MEV), at the margins of contemporary musical historiography. His vast and all-inclusive experience refuses to fit into the common schemas and cubbyholes, excluding him from the conceptual straitjackets of current Western musicology.
Lavishly produced and conceived, this book is centered around extensive descriptions of the most important works and compositional techniques, providing a historical account of Curran’s musical concerns and changing style: in permanent flux between two distinct cultural geographies (Italy and USA), sensitive to an infinity of pressures, encounters, transformations, and provocations, Curran’s artistic voyage is presented here through a comprehensive historical and critical study that avoids buzz-word definitions and gives great respect to his otherness — an otherness clearly and happily a part of the variegated musical universe of our time. Gathered for the first time in a single monograph, the contributions of several of the foremost Italian and international scholars — enriched by an astounding “travel log” by Alvin Curran himself and by unpublished images from his private archive — confirm the role of this composer-performer-teacher-writer as a major contributor to the evolution of artistic languages in the late 20th century and beyond.
Edited by Daniela Margoni Tortora. 300 pages, softcover, in Italian and English.

Luigi Ontani – OntanElegia
a cura di Alessandra Galasso
Cartonato con sovraccoperta
32 cm, 148 ill. colori, 88 b/n., 189 pag.
Umberto Allemandi, 2004
Questa è la prima vera monografia dedicata all’intero percorso artistico di Luigi Ontani, dal 1967 ad oggi: un artista variegato e polimorfo, non assimilabile ad alcun altro, in Italia e nel mondo, ma precursore di molte istanze dell’arte contemporanea, sempre alieno da qualsiasi appartenenza o schieramento. Il suo linguaggio figurativo ha incorporato eccentrici influssi della storia dell’arte, delle favole e del folclore, dei miti classici e orientali: riti e simboli sempre di grande vivacità cromatica, combinati con una sfrenata fantasia, fino a generare un bizzarro universo, un proprio originale «mito della creazione» in continuo fluire.

Bernar Venet
Oeuvre sculpté, Arsenale Novissimo, Biennale de Venise 2009
168 pages, in French
the catalog is placed in a rigid cardboard case
‘the arc hypothesis’ is the title of french artist bernar venet‘s work on view during the venice art biennale 09. iron and steel, heated, cooled and shaped through the artist’s gestures form large lines which make us think of the rigid stringency of the arc via mathematical associations. they define themselves in scientific relations, formally in free order, which depending on one’s aesthetic position and the reception that has been passed, can be perceived and understood as disorder. curated by ewald stastny, a presentation was by museum arterra contemporary in partnership with the MKM and the foundation of for art and culture bonn and the wurth collection (Frederik Meijer gardens & sculpture park)
