Marinella Senatore - Hatje Cantz

A two-page spread showing the table of contents for an art book. The layout is clean and organized into columns, listing chapter titles and page numbers in both German and English. The content revolves around the artist Marinella Senatore, with sections like VORWORT / PREFACE, BILDTEIL / PLATES, and an ANHANG / APPENDIX.

A two-page spread from an art catalogue. On the left, a photograph shows an art installation: a speaker's podium covered in a mosaic of small, silver mirror tiles. A red LED display on the podium reads OUT FEMINISM. A microphone on a stand is positioned next to it. The right page contains the foreword, titled VORWORT, in German.

A two-page spread from a book. On the left is a colorful, layered collage featuring a large blue arm, a black-and-white architectural drawing of an opera house, sheet music, and various cutouts of people dancing and performing. The page on the right contains text under the bold heading PREFACE.

A two-page spread from an art publication displaying five elaborate, embroidered protest banners against a white background. The left page shows four smaller, colorful banners in a grid, featuring various symbols, text, and patterns. The right page is dominated by a single, large red banner decorated with an orange velvet panel, bright pink fringe, long blue tassels, and yellow embroidery of text and two seated figures.

A two-page spread from a book, showing two photographs of an art installation. The installation is a black frame with a shiny black vinyl curtain partially open. In the dark space behind the curtain, several people wearing colorful balaclavas and minimal clothing pose and gesture in different configurations in each photo.

A book cover with bold, black, italic text on a white background. The text reads, I AM GOING TO MAKE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL AROUND ME. The words BEAUTIFUL and AROUND ME are in a much larger font size. In the center, smaller text reads: HELENA PEREÑA, Kunst und Öffentlichkeit bei Marinella Senatore.

A two-page spread from a book, showing pages 34 and 35. The text is in German and arranged in two columns on each page. The left page is titled ÖFFENTLICHES HANDELN and the right page is titled DER NARRATIVE TANZ.

A diptych of two watercolor and ink illustrations on facing pages. The left image shows a monk in a martial arts pose confronting a police officer with a riot shield. The right image depicts a line of riot police, with the face of a Black woman in a headwrap appearing on the front of a shield. The artwork is expressive, with a muted color palette and dripping paint.

A framed diptych collage with a vibrant red background. Two bold white diagonal stripes form a V-shape across the two panels, with two white flower-like silhouettes. At the center is a dense cluster of smaller black-and-white photos and colorful paper scraps, overlaid with snippets of Italian text that read, Fu cambiato l'ordine and Degli anelli ma la catena rimase una catena. Text identifying the artwork is printed below and to the right of the frame.

A mixed-media collage from the series Parades: Brass Band, 2018. An aged sheet of music is stamped at the top with the words I CANT BREATHE in large, red block letters. At the bottom, a cutout of a Black person holds a protest sign that reads, I CANT BELIEVE IM STILL PROTESTING THIS SHIT.

A two-page book spread with text on the right and a photo on the left. The photo shows a Black woman and a shirtless white man dancing energetically on a city street. Both wear white pants, colorful sashes, and have white paint on their faces as a crowd watches and takes pictures.

An art installation view showing several ballerinas in white tutus performing in front of a massive, ornate light structure. The backdrop glows with intricate patterns of green, blue, and white lights and features red neon text, including the phrase LIKE FIRE LIKE REVOLUTION. The colorful lights create vibrant reflections on the floor around the dancers.

A page from a book featuring a photograph on the left and text on the right. The photo shows a person from behind, standing on a polished stone floor and looking up at a large, diamond-shaped neon art installation on a stone wall. The colorful artwork has the words A BLEND OF COMMON HUMANITY in orange neon along its edges.

A two-page spread from a publication. The left page contains a block of German text with numbered footnotes. The right page features a large color photograph of a woman with long dark hair, wearing a flowing red dress, performing on a red floor. She is kneeling and arching her back dramatically, her arms raised in an expressive pose inside a bright, modern gallery space.

Blind people marching to the beat, illiterate people composing music, retirees, skaters, choirs, activists: they all are guests of Marinella Senatore. In her collaborative works, the Italian artist combines strategies of political protest movements with artistic forms of expression. Different media such as performance, sculpture, textile, photo, collage, drawing and video become a language of their own, a means of negotiating questions of emancipation. This catalogue accompanies the artist's largest exhibition to date at the Museum VILLA STUCK and the Generali Foundation Collection at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg: international authors discuss questions about the tension between the individual and the collective, longings and belonging, sociopolitical exclusion and alternative forms of society, as well as the transformative potential of art.
