MEDUSA ~ Myth, Memory, (Anti)Monument by Maria Molteni
A fifty-six page, six-color risograph zine designed and printed by Snake Hair Press which includes four short essays that contextualize Molteni's site-specific public artwork Gateway to Infinity (An Anti-monument) and its collaborative ritual to invoke "Medusa Consciousness" on mythological, historical, political, and poetic grounds.
Essays include an introduction by art historian Liz Andres, with short essays titled "Triskele & The Monster’s Tools: Resurrecting the Anti-Monument" by artist Maria Molteni, "Medusa & the Radiance of the Night Sect" by astrologer Laura Campagna, and "Myths, Rewritten Histories, and the Power of Decapitation" by artist Vin Caponigro are included.

Maria Molteni (they/them, based in MA) is a full time contemporary artist, mystic and designer with heavy emphasis on collaboration and research in their interdisciplinary practice. Their intuitive practices include Tarot, astrology, dreamwork, color magic and site-specific, somatic spellcraft. With formal training in Painting, Dance and Printmaking their research utilizes many publication formats to anchor, bolster and expand their artwork.
Molteni’s experimental product lines Infinite Goddetc + Free Bleed Press offer zines, artist books, prints, apparel original tarot + playing cards, and limited editioned art objects that embrace the margins. They center queerness, intersectional feminism and gender expansive mysticism via a playful framework for editioned multiples called “Counting to Infinity”.
Molteni is particularly excited to debut their original Stelle Scopa deck of cards, Games Are Magic zine, and a brand new publication MEDUSA: Myth, Memory, (Anti)Monument- which features essays by Molteni, Morbid Anatomy’s own Liz Andres and other artists who study Medusa closely.
