OPEN TIL 6 PM. NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: DAMIANO BERTOLI - CONTINUOUS MOMENT (2018) • Comprehensive monograph on the work of Australian artist Damiano Bertoli. • “Melbourne artist Damiano Bertoli is best known for the ongoing series ‘Continuous moment’, a multidisciplinary practice that offers a paratactic investigation of artistic experiments, social projects and theoretical legacies that inform the history of modernism and contemporary art. At the centre of much of this thought and production is a delirious pragmatism that draws on material as diverse as Pablo Picasso’s 1941 surrealist play Le desire attrape par la queue (Desire caught by the tail), originally performed under the shadow of Nazi occupation, the aspirational practices of Superstudio (1966–78), which sought to live without architecture, and the occultism of the homicidal sect led by Charles ‘Willis’ Manson. What is decisive, in any case, is that for Bertoli the unity of this practice resides in a display methodology that echoes a number of avant-garde principles that question the backward looking gaze." - Nik Papas • Published by Surpllus. Designed by Ziga Testen, Edited by Brad Haylock. Profusely illustrated throughout in colour and black and white, with accompanying essays by Justin Clemens, Helen Hughes, Helen Johnson, Nik Papas, Chris Sharp, Liza Vasiliou. • Available via our website and in the bookshop today. • #worldfoodbooks #DamianoBertoli #Surpllus #ZigaTesten #BradHaylock #JustinClemens #HelenHughes #HelenJohnson #NikPapas #ChrisSharp #LizaVasiliou (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
