Unpublished ISSUE #02 One night sale + exhibition Tuesday May 24, 2011 h. 6:30 pm – 10:30pm O’ – via Pastrengo 12, Milan (Italy) Sound performance by Invernomuto  A simple and straightforward layout, an awesome format, no advertising, 500 hand numbered copies and a free and selected distribution. Unpublished – Best unseen photography – is an independent publishing and artistic project aiming to promote and  disseminate contemporary photography outside the traditional channels linking artists to art-dealers. Unpublished is a democratic and exchange place where art meets the public, without any filter. Unpublished gathers the best unpublished images of young authors from all over the world, selected not only for their aesthetic value, but through a careful analysis of the cultural context, the artistic and human paths. It’s also a challenge, a glance exploring the future to spot the talents and the artistic trends that will soon be showing in the best galleries of the whole world.   A large project that ends each edition of Unpublished with an evening presentation, in which it will be possible to buy at affordable prices the original and signed prints of the published works, assessed by the artists themselves. No intermediaries and outside the market logic. The venue of the second issue launching party and exhibition is O’, a non profit organisation promoting experimentation in artistic research, consisting in a vast exhibition space, an archive consultation area, an external lab for photo-production and print – L.A.B. Laboratorio Arti Bovisa – and an international program for artists and theorists in residence (A.I.R.). Unpublished is a ‘call for freedom’, a pure and direct line that connects the artist and his work with the outside world. And vice versa.
