The Archive Is the Institution

The founding publication of the Academy. Two hundred and fourteen pages on the refusal of art as spectacle, with the plates at full resolution and the complete set of working notes. Members read it in the browser or download it whole.

Writing on Blackness as an atmospheric and stabilised presence, on the limits of observation, and on what classical training does to a hand. Published with the reading lists and the annotated passages behind them.

Performances in full and uncut, with the ambient recordings made alongside them. Interviews recorded in the Florence studio. What the studio sounds like while the work is made.

Everything above sits in one filterable library, open to members. Each entry has its own page: the work itself first, then the description, the catalogue record, the files, and the material related to it.
