Shaving a Kiwi, (Archive, vol. D) - Paola Boscaini & Cristina Materassi
The fourth publication "Shaving a Kiwi" showcases the research of the artist Ying Liu.
The booklet Shaving a Kiwi, is presented in the form of a collection of postcards. Each postcard carries a poem that serves as a short instruction for exercising invisible meditation and daily awareness. Through lingering and experimenting within the sphere of mundane acts of everyday life, Ying Liu has discovered and archived a series of acts from which thirty are selected for this booklet, ready to be practiced by the readers. This booklet is an interim presentation of the artist’s long-term project “Encyclopedia of Motional Meditation Practices: 100 Artistic Methods of Turning Life into a Field of Mindfulness”.
"Corrispondenze is an artistic and editorial project founded in Turin in 2021 by Paola Boscaini and Cristina Materassi. It is driven by a shared interest in exploring the theme of dwelling through collective inquiry. Through practices of encounter and participation, Corrispondenze fosters shared reflection and investigation, exploring diverse perspectives on dwelling and transforming them into dynamic spaces for exchange, dialogue, and creation.
Since 2022, Corrispondenze has also evolved into an editorial project, conceived as a paper-based space for action: a dynamic platform for relationships and archiving in constant evolution. The main research focus for 2024 centres on the connection between dwelling and archiving, culminating in a limited-edition publication of five volumes, released from January to September 2024. ""Archive"" aims to explore the actions of researching, collecting, and archiving in our time, and how these activities are interconnected with how we perceive and represent the spaces we inhabit. By amalgamating personal research, collective projects, and spatial investigations, this publication encourages the exploration of intimate and personal perspectives, serving as a starting point for examining pressing issues of our time.
