Artist, restorer and interior designer Marta Claret has been making watercolor paintings of the covers of every single book she's read for many, many years, filling hundreds of pages of personal diaries.

Recently, she's started to apply this to geometric pieces of ceramic that she bakes and vitrifies, creating a glossy, sturdy object that recreates the size and format of each book.

And There Was The Night

Claudio Pogo & Magda Wysocka

On view 20.04.2025

2.

This extraordinary project began when Wysocka and Pogo stumbled upon a peculiar archive on eBay—a collection of handmade zines containing rephotographed images from a 1920s pornographic film. This cryptic find sparked a deeper investigation into its origin, setting the stage for the photobook’s haunting narrative. The photobook presents a fascinating journey into the mysterious life of so called a “Vampire from Dachauer Moor” whose story teeters on the boundary between myth and reality. By recontextualizing the found zines and integrating them with other archival material, the photobook transcends the realm of a traditional historical record. It becomes an exploration of identity, obscurity, and the power of narrative construction.

Terranova teams up with chair collector and overall design enthusiast Stefano Colli, to launch our second joint fanzine under the brand GoodGoodStefano, this time devoted to Italian legend Vico Magistretti and one of his more obscure chairs: the Loden armchair.

A searched-and-found and very lovingly restored sample of the Loden chair will grace our left window a few days before and after the launch of the zine. Funnily, the chair is similar to the two Carimate chairs by Magistretti we always have inside the shop, and its colors couldn’t match more fittingly the palette we inherited from the original shoe shop that occupied our space from 1899 to the mid nineties.

Jeric Acuña

On view 01.05.2023-31.05.2023

2.

Jeric Acuña’s photographic collection delves into the meaning behind the act of holding hands behind the back, a gesture often associated with the elderly and men. Through spontaneous photos taken with mobile devices or analog cameras, Acuña captures the quietness, calmness, and lack of danger conveyed by this posture. It represents a rejection of a defensive mindset, a resignation towards fate, or a deep trust in the outside world. The exhibition explores the cultural significance of walking with hands behind the back, showcasing diverse situations where individuals create something together without shared goals.

It is an ode to a serene and elegant lifestyle, appreciating life’s intricacies and defying the chaotic pace of modern existence. Furthermore, the project explores the nostalgic and bittersweet emotions tied to the gesture, reflecting on time and the overcoming of temporal dilemmas. Ultimately, Acuña’s work invites contemplation on the profound personal and socio-cultural meanings conveyed by this seemingly simple act.

The act of dissecting and analyzing the MBM-2 lamps, as presented in the eponymous book designed by Eme Rock, is symbolically formalized in the display window, revealing the objects in a manner not commonly seen, as disassembled parts.

Through this physical dissection, we are able to uncover the constructional simplicity of an object that, despite the passage of time, continues to shape the landscape of many nearby places, while also speaking to a particular approach to design.

(Later note: Mariscal sadly never showed up on the day! But we're still huge fans)

Born in taipei, Liang-Jung Chen is an interdisciplinary artist and designer based in london. Deeply interested in the tension embedded in everyday scenarios, her works are often informed by politics within behaviours and artefacts. Meanwhile, her background in industrial design allows her to bridge narratives with detail-oriented awareness.

She approached us interested in holding a performance on the street outside of our bookstore, using a series of hand made containers and loads of milk. Once the performance was completed, she made a small installation with the metal containers on our shop window.

I Made Them Run Away is a multi-layered story weaving together family images and photographs with texts written by the artist’s mother.

The more you live, the more space you need is a piece made of a structure of cardboard boxes in which coexist a series of objects and images that tell a story about heartbreak and a fragile transition to a new emotional state.

A staircase composed of wax relics that reach an orange, a gun (slingshot), garlic skins, a coral in resin, a glove with burnt matches on the fingers, a candle, an egg, etc. The title of the piece comes from self storage company Bluespace’s slogan.

For the first time we gave both inside (gallery) and outside (shop window) spaces to the same artist, Olivia Albanell, to work on two parallel installations that were constantly evolving during the month long exhibition, that ended up being more of an artist residency than a regular show.

Olivia splashed her work around in a free form logic that comes from her own personal instinct, changing it, adding and taking away elements that included everything from drawings and personal notebooks to tiny sculptures, organic pieces like wood and sea shells hanging from strings and found objects that she combines until it all makes sense.

For over a month, which included long visits, private tours and plain hanging around, she invaded parts of our bookshop transforming them into a physical output of her mind, her imagination and her soul.

When we invited Swedish artist Klas Ernflo to feature his work on our shop window he decided to simply display his latest sculpture, a glazed stoneware and wood piece of two men riding the same horse. The cowboy hats can be removed to turn it into a candle holder, which we couldn’t show and light up for security reasons.

A few words from the artist:

“The sculpture Albert & Herbert is about togetherness. The title is part the name of a made up friend and part my own middle name. Albert & Herbert is also a Swedish TV show that I used to see as a kid. A comedy about a scrap dealer and his son learning to live together.”

2.

The artist Alicia Marsans has been crafting small wooden figures as a secondary, intimate practice when she wants to step into a different mindset and take a breath from painting. She calls them Odradeks, as an homage to the literary phantasy creatures of Franz Kafka. We had the pleasure to display many of them in our window, and kept renovating them every time one of them got sold.

A few words from the artist:

“This is a series of beings that have been keeping me company for many years now, and that I’ve been making out of leftovers of wood and paint. I call them Odradeks, as the creature in Kafka’s “Worries of a family Man”. Later on this same creature would be restored by Vila-Matas in his “Historia Abreviada de la Literatura Portátil”, as some sort of Golem who’s always by the artist, the materialization of his double. These “strange characters (…) are like shadows: (unborn) beings, who’s thoughts and behavior are made off subconscious scraps” are analog to my little sculptures, which I’ve been doing for the sake of it for years, without even knowing the reason why, as if it was them who were commanding me their own existence.”
