Published by Damiani 28.02.2014: An icon in his native city, Tsang Tsou Choi (1921–2007) covered the streets of Hong Kong with his graffiti for over 35 years, using a brush and ink to proclaim himself “the King of Kowloon”--heir to an imaginary birthright that fueled a lifetime of artistic output. With his signature style, Tsang wrote himself into the collective memory of a generation caught between British and Chinese rule, leaving behind an oeuvre that includes countless outdoor projects (the majority now extant only in photographs), myriad works on paper, board and cloth, as well as painted objects. This milestone publication documents Tsang’s influential art and enduring legacy. With over 100 reproductions, a foreword by Hans-Ulrich Obrist and critical essays by Hou Hanru, Ou Ning and others, The King of Kowloon is the first comprehensive survey of Tsang’s complex and fascinating artistic output.

Published in 2017 by Novalis Contemporary Art Design for the solo exhibition 16 - 19 February 2017 at LIGHTSTAGE, this first compilation is written by curator and photography critic Denis Curti and introduces the "LITTLE" series of works of Italian artist Valentina Loffredo. Critical to Loffredo's artistic process is "a "celebration of possibilities." And possibilities, in fact they are. Possibilities that break the monotony and the superficiality of the cliché in favour of a maverick dialectic that is not only appealing, but that suggests new horizons for the thought. Looking with attention at her work, there is always a detail out of place, a small coincidence of forms or visual allusions that offer an opportunity to go beyond the apparent rigidity."
