Mousse is happy to announce the launch of Matthew Brannon’s monograph Hyena’s Are… at Casey Kaplan, New York, on Saturday, December 10.

Coinciding with his first solo exhibition with the gallery, “Gentleman’s Relish”, this compact volume, published by Mousse, traverses Brannon’s entire oeuvre and includes an intricate and illuminating essay by Jan Tumlir. Accompanied by a vast selection of image reproductions of artworks and references, Tumlir’s chapters provide a deeper understanding of the complexity of Brannon’s work and practice to date.

Matthew Brannon “Gentleman’s Relish” at Casey Kaplan, New York

by mousse

November 7~2011

The first exhibition by Brannon with Casey Kaplan is structured as three separate locales within the three rooms of the gallery. Sculptural doors with hand-painted signage written backwards: “Adult’s Only,” “Powder Room,” and “Police Station” displace the viewer into a fictitious world. Silkscreen and letterpress text-based prints, labeled “Act I”, “Act II”, and “Act III”, imply events that may yet happen­­ or have already occurred.

Mousse at Artissima 18

by mousse

November 4~2011

For Artissima 18, Mousse is happy to present an exhibition of artist books and ephemera by Allan Kaprow.

“Artists’ books, which have testified to the complex relationship between figurative art and publishing ever since the historical avant-gardes, characterized much of the experimentation that took place in the ’60s and ’70s. In that chapter of history, they claimed the status of artworks, bringing to bear all the tools – writing, drawing, photography – capable of serving a form of expression based on conceptual thinking, elemental signs, narrative and action. In that period, Allan Kaprow (1927–2006), taking a seemingly contradictory approach, repeatedly downgraded his books from the loftier category of art objects to that of tools aiding his main activity as a constructor of Happenings. In other words, he created a direct link between his events and books.”

Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating / Chapter IV – Why Mediate Art?

by mousse

April 23~2011

The fourth installment of “Ten Fundamental Questions of Curating” looks for an answer to the question “Why Mediate Art?”. Maria Lind examines the seeming paradoxes that revolve around art institutions: an overabundance of traditional educational activities, aimed at engaging an ever broader public; marketing departments and press offices that take on a strategic role; curators who have no real interest in making their project known outside the professional sphere. The Swedish curator explains the importance of weaving connections between works, curatorial projects and the public, for a new kind of artistic “mediation”.

Mousse at INDEPENDENT

by mousse

March 2~2011

Independent strives to reexamine traditional art fair models and methods of presentation, in response to the changing attitudes and growing challenges for artists, galleries, non-profits, curators and collectors as the experience of viewing and interacting with contemporary art in a group context.

Mousse will borrow crates from some participating galleries to present a temporary library of its printed production, representing the origins, motifs and relations which determine the birth and the forms of a catalogue of books.

Mousse has also published the catalogue of Independent. Independent: A Catalogue of Advertisements is an exercise in straightforwardness. Advertising is of large importance to a gallery (or art venue), arguably the most daring and tricky way of projecting the aims and goals behind its existence in the contemporary landscape. Edited by Esperenza Rosales, and printed in 400 copies, Independent: A Catalogue of Advertisements is a collection of specially commissioned ads by participating galleries, a flattened composite of their programs and activities.

“Ritorno al Futuro” Alessandro Ceresoli at Galleria Francesca Minini, Milano

by mousse

March 1~2011

“Ritorno al Futuro” (Back to the Future) is a publication documenting Alessandro Ceresoli’s stay in Asmara, Eritrea, an experience that he later translated into a series of drawings and sculptures presented at Galleria Francesca Minini in Milan. The project—which took two years to complete, due to the difficulty of exporting works produced with local artisans—is illustrated through a series of photographs that the artist took in the teeming African capital, from the first stages of production all the way to the sculptures’ arrival in Europe.

Daniel Sinsel. New Monograph by Mousse Publishing

by mousse

February 28~2011

What does it mean to be both a painter and a sculptor in their most traditional guises, as well as an artist tied to transcribing reality at a moment in which the production and distribution of images has become so immediate and so intimately bound up with the way we live through our daily lives?
From the essay by Andrew Bonacina

The book, designed in close collaboration with the artist, is published to coincide with Daniel Sinsel’s first solo exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery, London, the first in a public institution. Produced by Mousse in association with Sadie Coles HQ, London, and with support from The Breeder, Athens, Office Baroque, Antwerp, and Galerie Micky Schubert, Berlin.

Book Launch Tuesday 1 March, 7 pm
Nicholas Cullinan, Curator of International Modern Art at Tate Modern, leads a tour of the exhibition.
This event is followed by a reception in the studio to celebrate the launch of the new monograph.

Navid Nuur at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen

by mousse

February 23~2011

For his first solo exhibition at a Swiss institution, Navid Nuur created a ‘parallel’ world in the Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen, showing its innumerable possibilities for the generation of poetic moments with everyday materials. Our various senses, as well as other forms of perception such as reading and walking, play an important role in the reception of his works. “Post parallelism” is conceived as a system which generates internal references and itself becomes content. Full of small humorous gestures on the one hand and spectacular expansive installations on the other, this exhibition will remain in the memory of the visitors as a unique experience.

Mousse Publishing at Fahrenheit 39

by mousse

December 13~2010

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.
