From December 18, we will present our latest titles at at Fahrenheit 39, a project focused on those fields of the art that use the book as a media. The self-produced publications, which are often limited editions and hard to find, give birth to new points of view on publishing, which reflects a will of re-think the book as an object and its production. Looking at this phenomenon, Fahrenheit 39 tries to make up our mind on the current Italian condition, inviting the public to explore and reflect on those publications.

Many things seem to interest Emily Wardill, and none of them appears to be immediately accessible, which is curious because her work actually seems to be centred on the very tools and modes of transmission of an experience of knowledge. Or rather her works are indeed accessible and intelligible, only not immediate, the sense being caught behind and beneath her dense imaginary and vast universe of references acting as a dismantling force. All of this is striking in this publication that accompany Wardill’s exhibition at the Appel, where the texts are widely deconstructed and the images are not necessarily related to what can–obliquely–read, but are nonetheless instrumental to understanding the richness of philosophical, political and psychoanalytical references, all, it goes without saying, “behind.”

Michael Krebber, ed.
For all the fans, this is a must have. Michael Krebber found all Smith’s correspondence with Elisabeth Happe, who had invited him to take part in the side program of Art Cologne in 1977. Not easy task indeed. The reading of the reprinted documents and letters is somewhat hilarious, and you find yourself intensely sympathizing with the heroic hosts, for having to deal with the challenging organization of a surreal action that, retrospectively, seems was already running at full speed. And it is, yet another time, when unfolding the broadsheet poster.
