Visible documents a research project by Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto in collaboration with Fondazione Zegna. The publication highlights nine curators, who showcase 41 ways of making art. The purpose of the book is to ''focus on artists who have demonstrated their capacity to deal affirmatively with the need to develop new economic models, the distribution of resources, the accessibility of information, the urgency to rethink ecology and landscape issues, the potential of differences and the development and experimentation of participatory and democratic political models.'' The nine curators are Cecilia Canzani, Anna Colin, Hu Fang, Emiliano Gandolfi, Julieta Gonzalez, Raimundas Malasauskas, Mihnea Mircan, Gabi Ngcobo and Elvira Dyangani Ose.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Lungomare is publishing the volume AS IF - 16 Dialogues about Sheep, Black Holes, and Movement. Starting from dialogue as a form of relationship that Lungomare has adopted over its 20 years of artistic and cultural activity, and in order to approach themes, people and places, whilst always pushing a little beyond its own boundaries and horizons, the book weaves together 51 voices of people invited to express their own vision for renegotiating the future. These are international authors who have collaborated with Lungomare over the past 20 years, and who have in turn invited many others, in order to open the discourse to multiple voices.
