Sylvie Fleury - Turn Me On

This publication accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin, the most complete so far dedicated to the artist in Italy: it is not a traditional catalogue but a magazine, a favourite object of Fleury, both as a cultural fetish capable of providing a snapshot of its time, and as a tool of self-definition. Art theories and practices are channeled into a fashion magazine, in columns, short essays, fashion spreads, glossaries, interviews, advertising, and, obviously, a horoscope; beside the texts, the publication features spreads, including exclusive behind-the-scenes images of Fleury's videos and installations, some never-before-seen photos unearthed from her archives, and a shoot of artist in the Lingotto.
