TOAST Project Space presents AOSTA Publishing, Wednesday 6 May 2020, with a project entitled Dexter from Giacomo Montanelli. The porter’s hut at Toast will become a laboratory for analysis, where you can break down elements and rearrange them in different ways, always looking for new approaches and possibilities.
AOSTA Publishing is a cycle of limited edition printed publications on the practices of art and curatorship.
At a time when most dialogue takes place on virtual channels, TOAST Project Space aims to preserve the direct experience with works of art, and is doing so through the development of a project that will be served by all available means. The result is Aosta, a misspelt anagram of TOAST.
Each edition will be a transliteration of the physical space at TOAST: the area becomes a small square box, which each artist is invited to establish a relationship with.
From 6 May, the publication will be sent via post to anyone requests a copy, writing to: info@toastprojectspace.com. Once the booking has been made, instructions will be sent on how to receive the artwork, subject to availability. Delivery costs are borne by the recipient.
