Mousse is a quarterly contemporary art magazine and publishing house based in Milan, Italy, among the most important contemporary art magazines both nationally and internationally.

History
Mousse was founded in 2006 by Alessio Ascari and Edoardo Bonaspetti. Since the beginning the magazine drew the attention of the art-world, and general public alike, for both its content and look. In 2008, Ascari left Mousse and the overall direction of the magazine was assumed by Bonaspetti, who maintained his role until 2018. In April 2018, the editor-in-chief of Mousse became Francesco Tenaglia, maintaining his role until March 2020.

Mousse Magazine
Mousse Magazine is made of articles, interviews, conversations and essays by some of the most important figures in international criticism, visual arts, and curating today.

Initially published in Italian and English, the magazine has been fully in English since 2017.

Together with its printed version, Mousse Magazine operates digitally through its website and its social media channels.

Distribution
From the very first issues, Mousse has been distributed throughout Italy in institutional spaces such as museums, foundations and private art galleries. From issue 15, Mousse started to be distributed internationally as well.

Mousse currently has an average print run of 35,000 copies and is widely distributed in a great selection of exhibition spaces and art bookshops in Europe, the United States, Asia and Australia.

Mousse Publishing
In 2008, Mousse created an independent publishing house specializing in the field of contemporary art. Mousse Publishing produces exhibition catalogs, monographs and artist editions, constantly collaborating with museums, galleries, foundations, biennials and other art and cultural initiatives.

Mousse Agency
Mousse is also an agency that creates visual projects for contemporary art and culture initiatives. Every project entails close dialogue between Mousse and the entity involved, e.g. a museum, foundation, institution, gallery or art fair.

Over the years, Mousse has created the visual identity of international artistic events such as Manifesta 12 Palermo in 2018, the Second Biennial of Yinchuan in 2018, and miart, the international modern and contemporary art fair in Milan, from 2013 to 2020.
