Curationism

From the 8th to the 10th of April will open “Bunch of Keys”, the new coordinated and shared event of Exhibi.To.

Some glimpses of 6 Pittori, my new co-curated exhibition in Pavarolo, where 6 young Italian painters (based in Turin) created an ideal link between their works and the artworks of the “6 di Torino”, an informal group of painters active in early ‘900, in the city of Turin.  The exhibition took place in the village of Pavarolo (where the renowed Italian painter and the de facto mentor of the group, Felice Casorati lived) in a series of “stages” diffused within the village.

Come and join us.

For Triplette the curatorial approach was “1 vs 3″, in which, each curators, worked single-headedly with each artists, to craft three individual artworks that would expand a particular aspects of IDEM’s artistic process. The exhibition became a case study on the approach and the impact of curators in the production of artworks.

Here’s a wrap-up video for Eyes, Come Back!. This workshop, directed by artist Setareh Shahbazi and part of the Artissima Experimental Academy project, was a hands-on and cross-disciplinary experience, oriented towards a practical approach in which participants were engaged in the design and making of a series of fictional worlds. These scenarios – based on the imaginary liked to the figure of the “trickster” (typical of folklore and mythology) – were the stage on which the selected young participants moved to explore multiple viewpoints narrating the uncertainty and entropy of contemporary society. Eyes, Come Back! was at Combo Torino in October-November 2019. I and Combo’s Bruno Barsanti curated the production.

The final video of the Monet Culture in Motion 2019, the workshop/residency held in Polignano a Mare (BA), were I was the curatorial tutor, together with artist Dario Agrimi.

In October there will be the third appointment with the Artissima Experimental Academy, titled Eyes, Come Back!. It will be led by artist Setareh Shahbazi and will take place from October the 28th to November the 3rd.

Tomorrow I'll start my new job as tutor for the Fondazione Pino Pascali, in Polignano a Mare, concerning the residency/workshop MONET. Another great project where curatorhip and artworks production will merge with young artists tutorship. In this adventure I will be accompained by artist Dario Agrimi.

Some photos from FIGHT (Temple Door), a psychodramatic workshop on conflict resolution directed by artist Dara Friedman, part of the Artissima Experimental Academy project, held at Combo Venezia in May 2019, for which I and Bruno Barsanti curated the production.

FIGHT (Temple Door) will be held at the venue of Combo Venezia, from May 12th to 19th 2019, and will be directed by artist Dara Friedman.

Thank you to Elena Hamerski, Giulio Saverio Rossi, and Ottavia Plazza for their wonderful works for the Piedmont Pavilion at VinItaly. We didn't win but we had fun.

DAF Struttura 1-4 November 2018 Oval Lingotto, Turin

Thank you, Marzia Migliora, for the wonderful workshop we organised together, during the 2018 edition of Artissima. A workshop for the students of the Academy of Fine Arts of Turin, where Marzia donated herself without restrain, teaching the young artists how to be free and use drawing to improve their creative process. 

During the 2018 edition of Artissima, I followed, under the supervision of curator Lisa Parola, the realisation of the the exhibition Carol Rama - 100 anni di seduzione [“Carol Rama - 100 Years of Seduction”]: a booth inside the fair, organised for the Centenary of the Birth of the artist, where Fondazione Sardi per l’Arte displayed a series of previously unseen Rama’s artworks (part of the Sanguinetti’s Collection) highlighting her eclecticism and her artistic production, always free and independent.
