Materially rich portraiture of disenfranchised faces lost to history, rediscovered through archival researchAmerican artist Monica Lundy (born 1974) is known for her haunting and remarkably tactile historical portraiture commemorating marginalized populations, whose names and images she culls from antiquarian ledgers and compendia: mental hospital patients, sex workers, prison inmates and more.

The first comprehensive monograph on an artist interrogating social and collective historiesThis is the first comprehensive survey on the career of Italian artist Marinella Senatore (born 1977), whose participatory and public artworks merge forms of protest, learning theatre, oral history, ceremony, dance and music.

Morphological photo-collages: an experiment in digital image manipulationAmerican photographer Gideon Bosker draws on an archive of more than 100,000 photographs captured by him over the past 15 years, systematically deconstructing and reconstructing the images by manipulating their raw files to generate novel sequences and heavily layered compositions.

On Robert Morris' final sculptural works, which express a shift toward more baroque and allegorical elementsDocumenting the first exhibition dedicated to American conceptualist Robert Morris (1931-2018) since his death, Monumentum 2015-2018 presents a series of works produced in the final years of the artist's life. Both series are comprised of sculptures depicting human figures: the first, MOLTINGSEXOSKELETONSSHROUDS, are made of Belgian linen soaked in resin and placed over models to take on their form; the second series, Boustrophedons, consists of works rendered in carbon fiber, and were exhibited respectively in 2015 and 2017 at the Castelli Gallery in New York. The spatial design of the two series as they were exhibited at the Galleria Nazionale of Rome was agreed with Morris himself before his death. Morris' last sculptural works mark a shift in his formal vocabulary, free from the imperatives of order and abstraction typical of the American avant-garde of his time.
