Our work is made out of curiosity and discovery, used to levity and fun. An unpredictable and uninterrupted process that, in our case, has lasted for over 40 years. 40 years of encounters, bandying between art and books, in search of new languages, contaminations, free experimentation.
Corraini Editions is a publishing house and an art gallery, as well as a space for experimentation and research: it is a publishing workshop open to artists, illustrators and designers, from both Italy and abroad, a space to create books and art and design projects. Our work with Bruno Munari stands out among our numerous collaborations; he was a versatile artist who worked steadily with Corraini for many years, giving the idea of a workshop that is always open to creativity and imagination.
Created next to an already established art gallery, Corraini Edizioni's publishing work ranges between design, art and illustration, often blurring the boundaries between the different disciplines. Naturally, given the association with Munari, particular attention is given to artists’ books for children.
Our catalogue includes books and objects by Munari, Martí Guixé, Enzo Mari, Bob Gill, Giosetta Fioroni, Ettore Sottsass, Paul Rand, Andrea Branzi, Steven Heller, Steven Guarnaccia, Alessandro Mendini, Alfredo Jaar, Italo Lupi, Daniel Eatock, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Antonio Marras, Paul Cox, Michele De Lucchi, Suzy Lee, Francesco Simeti, Luigi Veronesi, Riccardo Dalisi, Gabriele Basilico, Esther Lee, Taro Gomi, Richard McGuire, Taro Miura, Harriet Russell, and many others.
When working on each editorial project, content and packaging are thought of as complementary aspects of the same project. Each volume is the result of reflection on every aspect of form and content (size, type of paper and material, binding, cover, type of printing, graphics, selection of texts and images), in close collaboration with the author so as to find a harmonious editorial solution bringing concreteness to the idea-project.
The Galleria Corraini, founded in Mantua in 1973, focuses its research on the continuity of work that is found between great contemporary artists and the younger generation. A careful, experimental research, attentive to new forms and new talents, trying to discover new paths, true to its transversal and interdisciplinary approach to art, design, graphic design, publishing, and photography. Exhibitions of particular importance (monographic or thematic) have also been held outside the gallery, in collaboration with public and private entities, museums, associations and foundations..
Over more than 20 years of working with our gallery, Bruno Munari transmitted his passion for lightness, an interest in field-testing and a curiosity for little things. As a result of this, along with the continuous research we carry out with our authors and artists who work with us, we have created workshops for both adults and children.
With us, ideas become editorial projects, events and exhibitions. From the discussion stage to the practical work, the publishing house and art gallery converge in every phase like a kind of industrious workshop. Our partners are artists, graphic designers, art and design critics, and cultural institutions, but also entrepreneurs who are sensitive to and believe in the innovative and sustainable capacity of design culture.
Corraini Edizioni combines its work in publishing and book distribution with the management of spaces related to the sale of its catalogue and other selected works: museum bookshops where the books are often accompanied by a wide range of other events (workshops, meetings and small exhibitions). You can find us in Milan, Bologna and Turin.
