Published on the occasion of the exhibition Melissa McGill. Eridanus: The River Constellation at Mazzoleni Torino, October 2024. The illustrated catalogue includes text by by Kathryn Weir dedicated to the artist’s work, along with an in-depth conversation about McGill’s artistic and research practice. It also features an essay by Stefano Benedetto, Director of the State Archive of Turin, which links the preservation of historical archives with the contemporaneity of McGill’s research. The artist’s narrative voice tells, in the first person, the genesis, emotions, and behind-the-scenes process of the ongoing research dedicated to water and the cosmos, presented to the public for the first time at the exhibition in Turin.
