Effetto Sauna (Fuori dalle parentesi) | a cura di Thomas Ba
“Luciano e Maud Giaccari, che esplorano i confini dell’happening e le potenzialità del video, Bruno Munari, che condivide il suo studio con giovani promettenti, e ancora Jens Hoffmann Mesén, che prova a mettere in dialogo i protagonisti del minimalismo in contesti totalmente differenti. Riferimenti lontani nel tempo, ma la cui radicalità è ancora attuale. Questi incontri tra artisti permettono di ricodificare le opere e ricontestualizzare le pratiche in una modalità che sarebbe altrimenti impossibile. Effetto Sauna ripercorre concettualmente queste esperienze, cercando di costruire dialoghi tra generazioni e modi di sperimentare l’arte diversi tra loro.”
La sezione Effetto Sauna invita le gallerie a mettere in relazione i propri artisti con la proposta di un giovane non ancora rappresentato e introdotto nel mercato, con l’obiettivo di creare nuove sinergie e arricchire il circuito del contemporaneo.

“Autogeografie: tu fai le foto, ma sei parte del paesaggio.”
Special project for @artverona at Rondella delle Boccare.
The project, curated by @_thomasba , investigated the relationship between body and urban landscape—two distinct yet deeply connected elements. Students from the Marco Polo Institute, with artists Lorena Bucur and Davide Zulli, reflected on their experience of urban landscapes to produce two artworks that were installed in the historical site of the Rondella delle Boccare. The objective was to put in dialogue individual and collective perspectives with memory and mainstream narrations.
Autogeografie was realized in collaboration with the Ufficio Conservazione e Valorizzazione Sito UNESCO e Cinta Muraria and #istitutomarcopoloverona

non succede mai nulla (nothing ever happens)
Chapter 4 - sul muro (on the wall)
The wall is intrinsically connected to its surroundings; it can never be separated and exists only in relation to architectural and environmental elements, voids, landscapes, people, etc. It is a liminal space that, just like a door or a window, is ancestrally linked to places inhabited by man. In fact, whether it is in a city and part of a building or in a remote countryside, it has a dividing function that paradoxically also makes it a point of contact between what divides. If you observe the wall while walking down the street, it appears as an obstacle, while if you look from above, it appears as a line that unites and creates connections between separate elements. Its nature is also made more complex by the fact that it has always been a place of expression free from any prescription, from cave paintings to the Viva Verdi of the Risorgimento up to the tags of writers and dedications of lovers today. A place, therefore, characterized by a strong syncretism and where personal expression often emerges in contrast with the community (especially in cases of vandalism). This chapter of non succede mai nulla is dedicated to the wall, to its being a place that connects (which can mean both in dialogue and in contrast) parts of different realities.
