PRESENCE

JUNE 3,2025  |  CABALA-BAG WINS THE ITALIA PAZZA CALL
Very happy to have been selected with CABALA-BAG among the three winning projects of the ITALIA PAZZA call. From the collaboration between Fondazione Italia Patria della Bellezza, Studio Robilant, Casa degli Artisti and Spaghetti Boost, ITALIA PAZZA was born, an innovative cultural project designed to support emerging artists and promote a new vision of art: rooted in everyday life, capable of becoming a symbol. At the heart of the project, an Artist Open Call that invites the creation of a new artist merchandising object. The protagonist: a bag, transformed into a “canvas à porter” on which to imprint research, experimentation and vision. The goal? To put art back at the center of public discourse, exploring the link between aesthetics and function, serial production and uniqueness. A path inspired by a key principle of the Foundation: Italian identity is beauty, as a creative force, imagination, ethics... and also madness. The three artists will participate in 40-day residencies at Spaghetti Hub, Studio Robilant and Casa degli Artisti

In November, at the end of the residencies, a pop-up event will be held to present the works created to the public.

RESIDENZA AAA—Atelier Aperti per Artista

With the AAA Open Ateliers for Artists residency, Casa degli Artisti confirms the original purpose of the building, designed in the early twentieth century, hosting artists in a city where work spaces are increasingly precious and precarious. Today, the Casa supports artistic and critical-curatorial practice and research in the field of contemporary arts and cultures and with AAA intends to intercept and respond to the felt need to find adequate and protected work spaces in the city. From September 2024 to September 2025, the ateliers will be inhabited by the selected artists.

PANORAMICA*23 // BODIES MATTER: OR THE SUBSTANCE OF THE BODY.
Curated by Alessandra Arnò

The curatorial selection shows the complexity of the representation of the body and the human through the reflections of twelve artists who investigate with heterogeneous languages the relationship between the physical body and the digital simulacrum, between re-mediation of vision and visual suggestions that reach down to the real, raw and current datum.
The multiple themes unveil both the obsession of meta-bodies with the virtual world and the anxiety of bodies and self to adapt to the real and the need to deploy themselves in other forms to claim their status. If virtual bodies inhabit digital space and connect to a vision of other-worldliness, where thought becomes a stream of frequencies that deconstruct space and time in a reassuring suspension, flesh-and-blood bodies must defend themselves and fight for their own existence and visibility, and need to confront limits and social conventions, sometimes imagining changing their skin or coexisting and implementing strategies to assert themselves.
Within an introspective and visual loop, the viewer is invited to reflect on visible and invisible bodies, and finally, to get involved in a well-known projective psychological exercise.

ARTIST: Matteo Campulla - Silvia De Gennaro - Enzo Cillo - DEHORS/AUDELA (Salvatore Insana, Elisa Turco Liveri) - Carlo Galbiati - Massimiliano Marianni - Anouk Chambaz - Emma Scarafiotti - Sara Bonaventura - Gianni Barelli - Mariangela Bombardieri - Duccio Ricciardelli/Marco Bartolini.

Elemental composition of the human body
Drawing made for Marco Paganini's exhibition "From here is not seen".

"Hello, This box contains an image of a dance borrowed from the movie "The Tango Lesson", a blank sheet of paper, a pencil, a sharpener and an eraser. I would like you to create a drawing from this frame, with the materials contained in the box, to lend me for my next exhibition, which will be held in mid-October. The drawing will be exhibited together with those of others who have received the same invitation. For this occasion, I would like to bring with me the people I watch, who I hang out with, who shape the world I live in. This box is an invitation to dance together.
A hug Marco"

They received the same invitation: Liliana Moro, Annalisa Riva, Cesare Fullone, Guildor, Francesco Marelli, Marco Mancin, Cecilia Mentasti, Daniele Pilla, Andrea Rabuffetti and Danilo Vuolo.
