Music and Artist's Books
The Horizon of a New Art Form
NY Music Dialogues is an artistic network where musicians and artist-authors come together across sound and literature.
It revolves around three cores:
Musicians, past or present, their stories and musical gems.
Handcrafted, numbered artist's books, signed by composers, painters and musicians, serving as invaluable testimonies to the performances.
Music happenings in traditional and unconventional venues, featuring top-tier performers and an engaged public to foster community.
The Books
PIONEERING ARTISTIC CONCEPT: The fine bookbinder and artist's bookmaker Luigi Castiglioni pioneers the concept of music as a readable and interpretable art.
NUMBERED LIMITED EDITIONS:
Handcrafted in Castiglioni's atelier in Italy, each book is a numbered, limited-edition art object.
HANDWRITTEN SIGNATURES AND FINE PRINTINGS: Featuring the musical score, fine printings, and handwritten inserts, the books are unique pieces of art and enhance the concept of music as a language beyond borders.
Events
Discover where to experience the Artist's books alongside music performances in collaboration with prominent music venues and festivals.
