Adelaide Cioni: On Patterns
Milano, Italy: Mousse Publishing, 2023
144 pp., 16.5 x 23 cm., softcover
Edition size unknown
“Patterns are an awkward attempt to point towards infinity and nature,” says Italian artist Adelaide Cioni, “an act of foolish bravery in front of something huge.”
This catalogue documents her first UK exhibition [see below], which served as the culmination of the artist’s ongoing exploration of abstract, decorative patterns, investigating visual language across multiple media. It features texts by Daria Khan, Jennifer Higgie, Jareh Das, Cecilia Canziani, Agnieszka Gratza, Ilaria Puri Purini, in English.
Adelaide Cioni: On Patterns is available from the publisher, here, for € 25 or $ 29.95.
"What are patterns? How do they get rooted in our imagery? What do they tell us about ourselves and our relationship with nature, space, and infinity? How are they connected to music? Why do we find the same ones appearing in so many distant parts of the world? These are some of the questions that the new book Adelaide Cioni: On Patterns wants to explore. Cioni has investigated these themes in her practice through drawings, fabrics, performances, spatial installations, and collaborations with dancers and musicians. Produced on the occasion of Cioni’s first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom—Ab Ovo / On Patterns—at Mimosa House, London, the book aims to present the artist’s research. It follows five main threads in her work: nature, language, craft, abstraction, and movement.”
