→ NPoE / A NEW PROJECT ✺ Ninety Percent of Everything è un progetto di ricerca artistica che indaga l’impatto della logistica marittima sulla crisi climatica, esplorando il porto come dispositivo di relazione tra equilibri ecologici, flussi economici, dinamiche sociali e geopolitiche. Il titolo richiama l’omonimo libro della giornalista britannica Rose George, che mostra come il trasporto marittimo – motore invisibile di circa il 90% dei beni di uso quotidiano – strutturi profondamente la produzione, la distribuzione e il consumo delle merci, incidendo quindi sulle nostre abitudini e sul nostro rapporto con il pianeta. ✺ Ninety Percent of Everything is an artistic research project investigating the impact of maritime logistics on the climate crisis. To achieve this, it examines the port as a critical device interconnecting, ecological balances, commercial flows, and social and geopolitical dynamics. The title draws inspiration from the book whith the same name by British journalist Rose George [ @rosegeorge3 ], which reveals how maritime transport — the invisible engine behind approximately 90% of everyday goods — profoundly shapes the production, distribution and consumption of commodities, thereby influencing our habits and our relationship with the planet. — a project by @uboot.lab in collaboration with @palazzoducalegenova with the contribution of @stellareprod , @itinerariparalleli , @necessity.ink , @theheathstudio under the patronage of Observatoire des publics et des pratiques de la culture – MESRI/AMU supported by @gruppogrendi1828 con il sostegno di / with the support of @fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo - bando “Starter – Cultura e creatività per la sfida ambientale” curated by Maria Pina Usai @_mpu scientific supervision @francesca.garaventa mentor artists @stellare [@filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo ] @tiz.alocci systemic design @itinerariparalleli photographic research @simonelezzi visual identity & graphics @nomdeplume_studio organisational coordination Marina Fanari @marinafiii press office @ucstudio.it

→ NPoE / GRUPPO GRENDI ✺ Gruppo Grendi, founded in 1828 as a family business, has grown, generation after generation, to become one of the leading integrated logistics and maritime transport operators, both nationally and internationally. Over nearly two centuries, it has evolved from a freight forwarder to a shipowner, and finally to a port terminal operator. Today, it operates shipping lines, container terminals, and an integrated logistics network. As benefit Company and Certified B Corp, the group combines innovation and positive impact – for environment, people and communities. Grendi supports Ninety Percent of Everything by bringing the groups aboard the Grendi Star: they will sail from Marina di Carrara to Cagliari on an operational cargo ship. During the crossing, they will have the opportunity to collect data and gain first-hand knowledge of the dynamics of maritime logistics, the core of the project. — a project by @uboot.lab in collaboration with @palazzoducalegenova with the contribution of @stellareprod , @itinerariparalleli , @necessity.ink , @theheathstudio under the patronage of Observatoire des publics et des pratiques de la culture – MESRI/AMU supported by @portsofgenoa_official @gruppogrendi1828 with the support of @fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo - bando “Starter – Cultura e creatività per la sfida ambientale” curated by @_mpu scientific supervision @francesca.garaventa mentor artists @stellare [@filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo ] @tiz.alocci systemic design @itinerariparalleli photographic research @simonelezzi visual identity & graphics @nomdeplume_studio organisational coordination @marinafiii press office @ucstudio.it social media @kiaracaredda

→ NPoE / DUCALE SPAZIO APERTO: LA BASE DELLA RESIDENZA ✺ Ducale Spazio Aperto, a Palazzo Ducale, sarà la base operativa della residenza di Ninety Percent of Everything: uno spazio temporaneo dedicato alla ricerca, allo scambio, alla produzione e all’interazione pubblica. Affacciato sul Cortile Maggiore di Palazzo Ducale — costantemente attraversato da cittadinə e visitatorə — Ducale Spazio Aperto rappresenta il contesto ideale per una residenza concepita non come processo artistico isolato, ma come pratica situata in dialogo con la città. Durante la residenza, lo spazio resterà parzialmente accessibile al pubblico, rendendo il processo di ricerca fruibile e condiviso. Da qui, lə artistə si muoveranno per entrare in porto e per imbarcarsi a bordo delle navi merci della Grendi, per confrontarsi direttamente con le infrastrutture, gli spazi, le persone e i ritmi della logistica marittima. — progetto di @uboot.lab in collaborazione con @palazzoducalegenova con il contributo di @stellareprod , @itinerariparalleli , @necessity.ink , @theheathstudio con il patrocinio di Observatoire des publics et des pratiques de la culture – MESRI/AMU con il supporto di @portsofgenoa_official @gruppogrendi1828 con il sostegno di @fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo - bando “Starter – Cultura e creatività per la sfida ambientale” curato da @_mpu supervisione scientifica @francesca.garaventa artisti tutor @stellare [@filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo ] @tiz.alocci design sistemico @itinerariparalleli ricerca fotografica @simonelezzi identità visiva e grafica @nomdeplume_studio organizzazione e coordinamento @marinafiii ufficio stampa @ucstudio.it social media @kiaracaredda

→ NPoE / THE PORT AS A CRITICAL DEVICE ✺ Ninety Percent of Everything takes the port as its starting point — not as a backdrop, but as a critical dispositif through which to explore the relationships between maritime logistics, the climate crisis, and the social and geopolitical dynamics that shape global trade. The port is where ecological urgency and geopolitical tension converge: a threshold where the weight of global supply chains meets the fragility of marine ecosystems and the vulnerability of maritime and port labor. Here is where the invisible costs of consumption become suddenly, undeniably material. photo @simonelezzi — a project by @uboot.lab in collaboration with @palazzoducalegenova with the contribution of @stellareprod , @itinerariparalleli , @necessity.ink , @theheathstudio under the patronage of Observatoire des publics et des pratiques de la culture – MESRI/AMU supported by @portsofgenoa_official @gruppogrendi1828 with the support of @fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo - bando “Starter – Cultura e creatività per la sfida ambientale” curated by @_mpu scientific supervision @francesca.garaventa mentor artists @stellare [@filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo ] @tiz.alocci systemic design @itinerariparalleli photographic research @simonelezzi visual identity & graphics @nomdeplume_studio organisational coordination @marinafiii press office @ucstudio.it social media @kiaracaredda

→ NPoE / CURATOR Meet of curator of the project → Maria Pina Usai PhD, independent researcher and curator ✺ Attracted to the instability of sea-related landscapes, she explores the coast as a paradigm of contemporary transformations, with a situated approach that intersects art, science, and community engagement. She founded U-BOOT Lab and the MEDSEA Foundation, and she has worked with the Sardinian Coastal Conservation Agency. She is the artistic director of Zones Portuaires Genova and curator of The Ocean Without Us, Abitare Costa Paradiso, and Tunèa, which was exhibited at the Italian Pavilion TERRÆ AQUÆ at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale. Author of scientific and divulgative publications, she is co-author of Abitare la Vacanza (Silvana Editoriale, 2023). Ninety percent of Everything emerges from a decade-long experience with Zones Portuaires, a festival in Genoa that has become a platform for research, opening up the port infrastructure to the city as a collective heritage. The port is where the city recognizes its identity. Here, relationships and conflicts shape social, political, cultural, and ecological discourse. The project explores the link between maritime logistics and the climate crisis, understood in its systemic dimension, the result of the interconnections between global consumption, ecological balances, economic interests, and social and geopolitical dynamics. — a project by @uboot.lab in collaboration with @palazzoducalegenova with the contribution of @stellareprod , @itinerariparalleli , @necessity.ink , @theheathstudio under the patronage of Observatoire des publics et des pratiques de la culture – MESRI/AMU supported by @portsofgenoa_official @gruppogrendi1828 with the support of @fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo - bando “Starter – Cultura e creatività per la sfida ambientale” curated by @_mpu scientific supervision @francesca.garaventa mentor artists @stellare [@filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo ] @tiz.alocci systemic design @itinerariparalleli photographic research @simonelezzi visual identity & graphics @nomdeplume_studio organisational coordination @marinafiii press office @ucstudio.it social media @kiaracaredda

→ NPoE / PHOTOGRAPHIC RESEARCH Meet the photographer of the project → Simone Lezzi Photographer / Director ✺ Simone Lezzi is an Italian photographer based in London whose work engages with portraiture, cultural heritage, and site-specific image-making. His practice focuses on how controlled light and spatial structure shape perception, identity, and material presence. He develops his practice from The Heath2 Studio and is the founder of ELPA — East London Platform for Arts For Ninety Percent of Everything he will conduct a photographic research project on human presence within logistical infrastructures – between operational cargo ships and port areas. Not a reportage about the port, nor a documentation of maritime work. Rather, a slow observation of what happens to people inside a system designed for goods – made of routes, schedules, space and operational rules that organise continuos movement without requering visible human presence. — a project by @uboot.lab in collaboration with @palazzoducalegenova with the contribution of @stellareprod , @itinerariparalleli , @necessity.ink , @theheathstudio under the patronage of Observatoire des publics et des pratiques de la culture – MESRI/AMU supported by @portsofgenoa_official @gruppogrendi1828 with the support of @fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo - bando “Starter – Cultura e creatività per la sfida ambientale” curated by @_mpu scientific supervision @francesca.garaventa mentor artists @stellare [@filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo ] @tiz.alocci systemic design @itinerariparalleli photographic research @simonelezzi visual identity & graphics @nomdeplume_studio organisational coordination @marinafiii press office @ucstudio.it social media @kiaracaredda

→ NPoE / NINETY PERCENT OF EVERYTHING - THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE PROJECT ✺ The title draws inspiration from the book with the same name by British journalist Rose George [ @rosegeorge3 ], which reveals how maritime transport — the invisible engine behind approximately 90% of everyday goods — profoundly shapes the production, distribution and consumption of commodities, thereby influencing our habits and our relationship with the planet. A vast, largely hidden infrastructure that crosses oceans, connects continents and sustains global trade — yet remains almost entirely out of sight, and out of mind. We rarely stop to think about the distance our objects have travelled, the routes they have followed, and most of all the crews that make their arrival possible. Ninety Percent of Everything takes this blind spot as its starting point: an invitation to look at what usually stays off frame, and to ask what our everyday consumption truly costs — ecologically, socially, geopolitically. — a project by @uboot.lab in collaboration with @palazzoducalegenova with the contribution of @stellareprod , @itinerariparalleli , @necessity.ink , @theheathstudio under the patronage of Observatoire des publics et des pratiques de la culture – MESRI/AMU supported by @portsofgenoa_official @gruppogrendi1828 with the support of @fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo - bando “Starter – Cultura e creatività per la sfida ambientale” curated by @_mpu scientific supervision @francesca.garaventa mentor artists @stellare [@filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo ] @tiz.alocci systemic design @itinerariparalleli photographic research @simonelezzi visual identity & graphics @nomdeplume_studio organisational coordination @marinafiii press office @ucstudio.it social media @kiaracaredda

→ NPoE / MENTOR ARTISTS Meet the mentor artists who will guide the collectives throughout the residency → STELLARE Sound lab exploring data, sound and space ✺ Stellare is an artistic research and production laboratory founded by @filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo , working at the intersection of sound, data, and space. Their practice explores the aesthetic and political potential of data sonification, transforming complex datasets into musical matter and immersive environments, treating data not as a neutral element but as a narrative, social, and cultural field. Among their works: Wave, presented at Festival Zones Portuaires and developed between the Museo del Mare and the Acquario di Genova — and The Ocean Without Us, a piece in which scientific data on microplastic distribution in the Ligurian Sea is translated into acoustic experience, in collaboration with CNR. With Ninety Percent of Everything, Stellare brings their research into the heart of the port transforming maritime logistics data into sound, giving voice to what numbers alone cannot tell. — a project by @uboot.lab in collaboration with @palazzoducalegenova with the contribution of @stellareprod , @itinerariparalleli , @necessity.ink , @theheathstudio under the patronage of Observatoire des publics et des pratiques de la culture – MESRI/AMU supported by @portsofgenoa_official @gruppogrendi1828 with the support of @fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo - bando “Starter – Cultura e creatività per la sfida ambientale” curated by @_mpu scientific supervision @francesca.garaventa mentor artists @stellare [@filoq @alebavo @raffaele_rebaudengo ] @tiz.alocci systemic design @itinerariparalleli photographic research @simonelezzi visual identity & graphics @nomdeplume_studio organisational coordination @marinafiii press office @ucstudio.it social media @kiaracaredda
