Knife in the Flesh (Navalha na Carne) is the title of a play by Brazilian writer Plínio Marcos, particularly active during the years of the Brazilian military regime. Thus, from its very title, this project declares itself to be in conflict. By means of installations, photographs, videos and performances, several of the artists invited to the PAC make reference to this conflict - which has no beginning, much less an end, is hard to sum up in words and rarely translates into physical fights or battles. A social - and above all symbolic - conflict, then, rather than a military one.Gathering together a series of works created in Brazil over the past forty years, this book shatters conventions and stereotypes without, however, setting out to draw a portrait of the country or its artistic scene, reflecting instead on their inherent conflict: the fights and violence, the political, social, racial, ecological and cultural abuse. A direct language that appears naïve, whilst actually pregnant with meaning as it tells of broken dreams and disappointed hopes, but also of a people capable of keeping their incredible optimism and trust in the future.

Eva Marisaldi expresses herself by means of an eclectic, many-faceted artistic language, developed by alternating photographs, actions, videos, animations and installations with embroidery and drawing techniques. Her works feature a lyrical narrative vein and, though she is inspired by reality, her study focuses on the hidden aspects of our everyday life, analysing it through her way of making art. A playful process that penetrates the spheres of imagination and fantasy. Asking herself questions on topics such as dialogue and communication, Marisaldi investigates the possibility of a reflection that is both individual and collective within the exhibition area, relating with it in a precise, sophisticated manner. Thus Marisaldi's works don't have an immediate impact; her interventions, fairly complex and obscure, are marked by an initial feeling of disorientation, requiring viewers to reflect long and carefully as they observe the works closely. Text in English and Italian.

Drawing inspiration from the everyday female consciousness and an oppressive, censorial dictatorship - as experienced in 1970s and 1980s Brazil - Italian-born Anna Maria Maiolino, who moved to Brazil in her late teens, has produced works steeped in vital force, embracing a wide range of languages and media throughout her artistic career: from performance to sculpture, from videos to photography, from installation to drawing. Her works study human relationships and the difficulty underlying communication and expression, travelling the faint boundary between an attention to human physicality and corporeity and a more intimate, spiritual sphere.Text in English and Italian.

Luisa Lambri’s art revolves around the human condition and its relationship with space, touching on areas such as the politics of representation, architecture, the history of abstract photography, modernism, feminism, identity and memory.The title of the exhibition presented at PAC, in Milan, is a tribute to Carla Lonzi who, in 1969, published “Autoritratto”, a collection of interviews with avant-garde artists that revealed their private sides. In the same way, Lambri constructs personal and intimate readings of the subjects of her photographs and encourages a dialogue between the observer, the work of art and the space.Light, time and movement play an important role in her work, where slight differences reflect the artist’s movement within the space. Lambri uses architecture to create her images, rather than images to document architecture, revealing negligible details of modernist architecture or iconic minimalist sculptures. At PAC, her works relate to the unique qualities of the architecture designed by Ignazio Gardella, for which the exhibition was specifically developed.Text in English and Italian.

Artur Żmijewski is one of the most important radical figures in the Polish art scene. His work reflects a concern for the socio-political problems of our times by examining the mechanisms of power and oppression within the existing social order - as well as conflicts of various types that border on violence - while highlighting the relationship between extreme emotions and their physical expressions, while also analysing the impact of memory and collective trauma.The “fear” of the title, a homage to the 1974 homonym Fassbinder’s movie, deserves a special mention because of its centrality in human life and its frequent use as a method of social control.This monograph presents a wide selection of historical, recent and unpublished works by the artist, and includes texts by Diego Sileo, Juli Carson, Galit Eilat, Adam Mazur and Adam Szymczyk.Text in English and Italian.

This book investigates the Japanese contemporary art of the 2000s, focusing on how bodies and performances are connected to society, environment, materiality and technology.The display of works - that differ in both style and media used - is therefore functional in describing the artistic ferment of Japan, a contemporary lab characterised by an interesting intellectual vivacity. Furthermore, the current forms of expression have been analysed by the curators in the broader context of the Japanese avant-gardes that developed after the war, thus giving shape to different levels of interpretation of the work of the artists on exhibit.After China, Cuba, Africa, Brazil and Australia this volume, promoted by the PAC of Milan, offers the opportunities for in-depth study and knowledge of non-European cultures, starting from the reading of the oeuvre of contemporary artists.Artists: Makoto Aida, Dumb Type, Finger Pointing Worker/Kota Takeuchi, Mari Katayama, Meiro Koizumi, Yuko Mohri, Saburo Muraoka, Yoko Ono, Lieko Shiga, Chiharu Shiota, Kishio Suga, Yui Usui, Ami Yamasaki, Chikako Yamashiro, Fuyuki Yamakawa, Atsuko Tanaka, Kazuo Shiraga.Text in English and Italian.

This volume offers the autobiography of artist Adrian Piper (1948, New York). Established as a conceptual and minimalist artist as well as a performer on the New York art scene of the late 1960s, Piper traces in these pages - enriched with personal photographs, drawings and poems - her human and professional history."Do you want to know why I left the United States and why I refuse to return? This is why. (...) Instead the hard, stony layer of ego that separates the sprout within it from all the outer layers that surrounded it, begins to melt and disintegrate as it unravels, releasing its constricting death-grip on the tiny, now highly impacted sprout trapped inside it, allowing the sprout to inhale endlessly, to take everything into it, to expand without limit, to disperse and evaporate into everything it has ever been, everything that has ever surrounded it, everything it left behind when it began to unspool from its wrappings. Then you are really free. That is when you become the self you really are."Text in English and Italian.

A multidisciplinary artist, Shirin Neshat (1957, Qazvin) works with photography, video, film and theatre, creating highly lyrical narratives and politically loaded visions that question the themes of power, religion, race and the relationship between past and present, east and west, individual and collective.The volume, on the occasion of the first major solo exhibition in Italy dedicated to Neshat at PAC Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea, spans the artist’s more than 30-year career, with almost 200 photographs and ten video installations, collected by the world’s most important museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA, the Guggenheim, New York and Tate Modern.Neshat interprets the history and present of her birth country, Iran, and indeed the whole world from the female perspective: from her debut in the 1990s with the Women of Allah series, comprising photographs of women whose bodies are inscribed with poetic calligraphy, to The Fury, a video installation that anticipates the Woman, Life, Freedom movement.Neshat’s work, however, goes beyond the theme of gender and uses male/female dualism as a starting point for exploring the tension between belonging and exile, sanity and insanity, dream and reality.Text in English and Italian.
