Costruzione dell’Universo

Costruzione dell’universo – Artists’ Magazines and Publications after Marcel Duchamp is a study that compiles an intense focus on printed matter from the 1950s to the present, starting with the “master” Marcel Duchamp. This research explores an important and previously unexamined sector of international artistic production: the journal and magazine as an artist’s medium. These are very rare, non-periodical, and extraordinary prints—sensitive paper publications where the artist designs the cover, the internal pages, the sequence of images, or even conceives the entire form as a unique but reproducible work of art. Sometimes, the publication becomes an open and collective container, capable of featuring multiple artists within the same layout or across different issues.
