Young Curators Residency Programme
Every year since 2007 Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo promotes the Young Curators Residency Programme Torino. The project aims to support emerging curatorial practice while spreading knowledge of the Italian art scene on an international level.
Since 2007 the exhibitions curated by the curators in residence featured more than 150 artists coming from Italy, living in the Country or whose work was relevant for the Italian scene at the time of the exhibition. This page features a short biography of each artist and the artworks included in the corresponding exhibitions.

Alterazioni Video is an artist collective founded in Milan in 2004 by Paololuca Barbieri Marchi, Alberto Caffarelli, Matteo Erenbourg, Andrea Masu and Giacomo Porfiri, working between Milan, Berlin and New York. Across video, performance, architecture and public space, their research probes the post-truth condition: how narratives are built, manipulated and censored, and how fiction hardens into fact. The approach is often openly activist, as in one of their earliest works, Legal Support (2004–07), which raised funds and legal aid for the activists prosecuted after the Genoa G8. In 2006 the group coined the term Incompiuto Siciliano, cataloguing over 690 unfinished Italian public works and reframing them as an architectural style — shown at the Venice Architecture Biennale, MAXXI and Manifesta 12, and developed in 2019 with Virgil Abloh for Off-White and the exhibition Incompiuto: the birth of a style (Campoli Presti, Paris; Kunst Meran). Since 2011 they have made eleven Turbo Films, a hybrid genre of found footage, remix culture and documentary. Their work has been presented at the 52nd Venice Biennale, MoMA PS1, Hamburger Bahnhof, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, PAC Milan and, in 2025, at Museo Madre, Naples, with the AI-generated film Rotten Sharks.

Salvatore Arancio (Catania, Italy, 1974) is an artist based in London and Nice whose practice spans video, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, collage, animation and installation. Central to his work is an exploration of images, how they produce meaning, shift across contexts and can be reframed or destabilized. Arancio treats images as fluid constructs operating across scientific, mythological and historical registers, while remaining open to imaginative interpretation, reflecting the instability of knowledge and our mediated relationship to the natural and ecological world. His practice frequently juxtaposes binaries, natural and artificial, mineral and vegetable, scientific and mythological, without resolving them, allowing objects and images to function as sites of ambiguity. Research underpins his methodology, drawing on fieldwork, archives, scientific texts, ethnography and speculative narratives, which are translated into visual systems that resist singular interpretation. Ceramics play a pivotal role in his work referencing geological formations, ritual objects and imagined fossils. His moving-image projects blend documentary and fiction, scientific observation, abstraction, and psychedelic imagery, creating immersive environments that explore temporality, perception and ecological fragility.

Francesco Arena (b. 1978) lives and works in Cassano delle Murge, Bari, Italy. Arena’s practice unfolds along two intersecting trajectories: collective history and personal history. These parallel narratives continuously converge, overlap, and intersect. In his work, stories “in-form” objects, whether everyday items—such as diaries, cigars, furniture, and other domestic objects—or sculptures made from traditional materials such as marble and bronze. His solo exhibitions include: Trenta Altalene, XXVI Premio Pino Pascali, Fondazione Pino Pascali, Polignano a Mare; Il fulmine governa ogni cosa, Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio, Rome; Measured Stones, NoguerasBlanchard, Madrid; Otto angoli, Studio Trisorio, Naples; Terza mostra: tre cose, Galleria Raffaella Cortese, Milan; Cubic metre of seawater as a diagonal, Sprovieri, London; Posatoi, Olnick Spanu Art Program, Garrison, New York; Onze mille cent quatre-vingt sept jours, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Reims; Trittico 57, Museion, Bolzano; Cratere, De Vleeshal, Middelburg.

Riccardo Arena is an artist, teacher, and researcher. His practice is dedicated to crafting evocative environments that, by combining conceptual and visual research, are conceived as cultural devices for imaginative knowledge. Installations, films, narratives, and workshops intertwine in a constellation of expressive languages aimed at contemplating, within the accidental, the universal components that bind stories, cultures, and myths from distant times and geographies. After developing projects in China (Four Times a Tree, 2006– 2008), in Argentina (Ellero’s Dual Death and the Visual Ecosystem, 2009–2012), in Russia (Vavilon, 2013–2017), and LuDD! – Topography of Light (2017–2020), based on the novel of the same name written by the artist following a series of journeys through Iran, Armenia, and Ethiopia, since 2022 he has been engaged in the project Geranos. The latter is the outcome of a research collaboration with Monte Verità, the Eranos Foundation, the Anthropological Museum of Mexico City, and the Warburg Institute in London. Since 2025, he is currently a PhD researcher at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts.

Rosa Barba, born in Agrigento, Italy, and based in Berlin, Germany, explores themes of permanence, impermanence, reality, and fiction through films, sculptures, installations, publications, and performances. Her work examines how space is influenced by temporal and linguistic constructs, challenging traditional narratives and semiotics. Barba deconstructs cinematic elements, merging physical materials with abstract concepts like time and sound. Her work is part of numerous international collections and her forthcoming and recent solo exhibitions include: Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich Art Prize (2026), Albertina Museum, Vienna (2026), Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon (2026), MAXXI, Rome (2025), MoMA, New York (2024, 2025), MALI – Museo de Arte de Lima, Peru (2024), Centre Pompidou, Paris (2023), Tate Modern, London (2023), Villa Medici, Rome (2022), Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin (2021-2022), and at Biennials such as the 53rd and 56th Venice Biennale, Sao Paolo (2016), Sydney (2014) and Performa (2013).

Felt-tip pen on felt, 320 x 346 cm Courtesy of the artist - Emanuele Becheri
Emanuele Becheri was born in Prato in 1973, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence in 1995. Becheri has always been interested in drawing, which he has studied in different languages – experimenting with drawing in total darkness, then through photography, video and music, and finally arriving at sculpture and terracotta. The relationship between drawing and sculpture is not a concept but, according to Becheri, a reverberation. There is a resonant relationship: we feel mainly in the terracotta, a tension in the gesture, a vibration of the line, a complicity in which certain details in the drawing resonate in the sculpture just as certain details in the sculpture resonate in the drawing. It would be misleading to see it as a reminiscence of the work of the old masters. In 2026, the Museo Collezioni Comunali d’Arte in Bologna dedicated a solo exhibition to him, curated by Lorenzo Balbi. Among his solo exhibitions: Sculture at MEF – Museo Ettore Fico, Turin, 2025; Opere at CAR Gallery, Bologna, 2024; Sculptures at Galerie Bernard Bouche, Paris, 2024; Sculture e disegni at Museo del 900, Florence, 2020. Among his group exhibitions: East and West at GNAMC – Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Rome, 2025; Teste at ChorAsis, Villa Rospigliosi, Prato, 2025; Controluce at Museo d’Inverno, Siena, 2024; Panorama XIX at GNAMC – Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Rome, 2023; Ragione e Sentimento at GNAMC – Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Rome, 2019; Video from the Collection of the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea at EMST – National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, 2018; De scultura at Casa Masaccio – Center for Contemporary Art, San Giovanni Valdarno, Italy, 2018.

Riccardo Benassi – visual artist born in Cremona (IT) – lives and works in Berlin (DE), Bergamo (IT), and online. He uses text and sound to question the limits of technology from an existentialist perspective, creating time-based environmental installations, video essays, performances, and spatial interventions. His multidisciplinary work reflects on how technological devices have radically altered daily structures of living, from architecture to politics, to cultural production and consumption. Traversing 1990s subcultures and the underground music scene, he employs new media to focus on the millennial generation, serving as a point of reference both in theory and practice. His work has been presented among other venues at MAXXI (Rome, L’Aquila), Museion (Bolzano), Palazzo Grassi (Venice), Fondazione ICA (Milan), ZKM (Karlsruhe), and CAC (Geneva), among others. He was a finalist for the MAXXI Bvlgari Prize 2024. Benassi has been Professor of Sound Design at Politecnico delle Arti in Bergamo since 2013 and Visual Art lecturer at NABA in Milan since 2019. He has published several books, including Attimi Fondamentali (Mousse Publishing 2012), Techno Casa (Errant Bodies 2015), Morestalgia (NERO Publishing 2020), and Daily Dense Dance Desiderio (Distanz 2023).

Francesco Bertelé is a visual artist who traces his research between exploration and experience. Through the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, he examines pressing political and social issues. By synthesizing collective data with personal practice, he creates poetic and visionary intermedia works. He investigates how digital episteme shapes social imagery and the perception of reality—examining how technological mediation influences perception across cultural, social, and environmental contexts. The human body is at the epicenter of his practice, regarded as both an object of control and a site of resistance, whether in terms of physical mobility or perceptual management. This concern has led him to intentionally live for extended periods in ‘border regions’—places where people undergo profound biographical transformations. His artistic approach is grounded in direct action and responsive exchange with encountered realities, realized through participatory, inter-present processes. Complementing this, his methodology operates through collective intelligence in synergy with professional networks. Since 2019, he has been part of the Wurmkos collective and serves as P.M. & Advisor for Recipient.cc. He is the founder and artistic director of a2410.it, Carrozzeria Margot, and Mobeel. His archive and studio are based in Canzo, Italy. His works have been exhibited internationally, including at: Malta Biennale 2026; Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo; KC exDom USOJ, Bihać, BIH; Museo Madre, Napoli; Bulevard Art and Media Institute,Tirana ; Mediamatic, Amsterdam; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Torino; Museo del Novecento, Milano; Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato; Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro, Milano; ‘A cielo aperto’, Latronico; Skaftfell project space, Center for Visual Art, East Iceland; 3rd Land Art Biennial LAM 360°, Mongolia; Sinop Biennale, Sinop (Turchia).

Bea Bonafini is an interdisciplinary artist based between London and Barcelona. Working across tapestry, painting, ceramics and installation, Bonafini’s work questions ways of reshaping narratives around womanhood, spirituality and our relationship to the “Other” or the more-than-human world. Hybrid figures embody timeless archetypes and can be seen as guides or companions in a changing world, in works that range from intimate to monumental scales. Bonafini holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2016) and a BA from the Slade School of Fine Art (2014), London. She has been artist-in-residence at the British School at Rome (2020) and the ArtExplora Mediterranean Program (2024), and has completed major commissions for Manifesta 15 (2024), Artocene Biennale (2023), Ala Foundation (2023) and Palazzo Abatellis (2022). Solo exhibitions include Intangible (Vangar, Valencia, 2026), Luminescence (Renata Fabbri, Milan, 2024), and The Floating World (Kristin Hjellegjerde, Florida, 2024).

- Canecapovolto
canecapovolto is a collective founded in 1992 in Catania by Alessandro Aiello, Enrico Aresu, and Alessandro De Filippo, and has developed its artistic practice at the intersection of film, sound art, and contemporary art, interweaving diverse narrative languages and techniques: Super 8, video, found footage, writing, radio dramas and podcasts, field recordings, randomness, experimental music, and even collages on paper and graphic works. The goal is the ongoing exploration of the relationship between language and message within unconventional storytelling, the relationship between art and politics, and, of course, the strategic role of the viewer. In 2016, canecapovolto founded Scuola FuoriNorma in Catania, a center for experiential education on sound and image, and subsequently La scatola dei suoni (an archive of field recordings accessible to scholars and sound artists). The four seminars and workshops of Scuola FuoriNorma are often held as part of festivals and events. Parallel projects by cc have given rise to Datapanic (an international thematic digital compilation of 60-second works), Re soundscape, Suono Madre (based on sound art works by students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania, in collaboration with RAM radioartemobile in Rome), and L’Elefante nella stanza (in 3 volumes), a collective podcast experiment.

- Manuele Cerutti
Manuele Cerutti (Turin, 1976) trained at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts. In 2004 he won the illy Present Future Prize, in 2007 he co-founded Progetto Diogene, and in 2022 he was an Italian Fellow at the American Academy in Rome. His paintings reflect on today’s possibility of infusing pictorial form and performative presence into common, neglected, or discarded objects: plastic waste, fragments, twisted pipes and sticks, bones, stones, and multiform vessels. These objects, together with the human figure—which has reappeared in his most recent works—compose true portraits that investigate postures and personalities through which one can recognize oneself and project one’s own feelings. His work is guided by an anti-hierarchical vision of the world, in which the boundary between the organic and inorganic worlds blurs to create an animist perspective where matter is fully alive and shares in the same vital essence. In 2023, the Maramotti Collection (Reggio Emilia) dedicated an extensive solo exhibition to his work. He has taken part in exhibitions at public and private institutions, including: GAM, Castello di Rivoli, and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin); Triennale and Palazzo Reale (Milan); Collezione AmC Coppola, (Vicenza); Wilhelm-Hack-Museum (Ludwigshafen); ICI (London); Galerie Max Hetzler and 401contemporary (Berlin); and MA2 Gallery (Tokyo).

Gandolfo Gabriele David (Polizzi Generosa, 1968) is a visual artist based between Palermo and San Sebastián. His artistic formation was shaped through years of collective work within Dimora OZ, a multidisciplinary context in which relational processes and site-responsive approaches established the conceptual and methodological ground of his research. His work develops through sustained engagement with places and communities, interweaving memories and ritual forms with materials and gestures across the dense network of relations that constitutes each site. Performances, installations and collective actions render these relations perceptible, bringing bodies, matter and more-than-human agency into a shared field. Selected presentations include FSRR Turin, RISO Palermo, Centre d’Art de Montreuil, Mucem Marseille, Mana Contemporary USA, Fondation Iméra, ICC Melbourne, CRAC Occitanie and the archaeological parks of Selinunte and Segesta. He has participated in the Venice Architecture Biennale, Manifesta 12 and 13, BAM, Transeuropa festival and the Expo 2025 Osaka. He co-edited ARKAD (Postmedia Books, 2022) and authored The Bread House (2021). Recent publications include Polis Lexis (2024) and Elyma (2024).

Luca De Leva (1986) lives and works in Milan. His practice explores how much of a life is negotiable. Through participatory situations designed to be directly experienced, he develops temporary conditions in which everyday life becomes the material of the work. Since 2021, this research has taken the form of THYSELF AGENCY, a travel agency organising expeditions into the unknown through non-fiction performative journeys. Developed through immersive exercises, the agency investigates how temporary changes in behaviour can transform the way people perceive themselves in the world around them. Its projects unfold through journeys, public INFO POINTS and the Journal, an expanding archive of participants’ reports. This research extends into his teaching of Performative Techniques, where the classroom becomes another space for exploring lived experience. De Leva’s work develops temporary conditions in which art and life overlap, allowing participants to experience everyday reality as a field of new possibilities. His work has been presented at the 18th Lyon Biennale, Triennale Milano, miart, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Pinksummer and the Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection.

Derek MF Di Fabio (they/them) looks into the possibilities of bodies being present in space and how knowledge is transmitted between generations, particularly looking at the power dynamics that dominate them. Di Fabio’s work includes workshops, scenographies, sculptures, audio walks, events, and collective practices. It comprises experiences that can be lived again and anew through a shared memory that can no longer be circumscribed by who/how/where.
- Stanislao Di Giugno
Stanislao Di Giugno (Rome, 1969) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Rome. Since 2014, he has devoted himself primarily to abstract painting, developing a coherent body of work characterized by a recognizable formal language. Before focusing on painting, Di Giugno developed a practice based on the reuse and transformation of everyday images and objects, creating collages and abstract sculptures that alter their original meaning. Between 2008 and 2011, he produced a significant series of collages through the deconstruction and recomposition of images into new formal structures. His research combines theoretical reflection and formal rigor. His painting investigates the physical qualities of materials, focusing on color, surface, and spatial relationships within the pictorial field. Through the layering of color, his works create a synthesis of different temporalities, experiences, and emotional states. As the artist states: “The choice is not to represent reality, but to investigate it.” His work has been presented in institutional and gallery exhibitions, including projects at Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome, Triennale Milano, Sammlung Lenikus in Vienna, and Galleria Tiziana Di Caro.

Andrea Di Lorenzo (b. 1994, Varese; lives and works in Bologna) focuses his research on the relationship between landscapes and human activity, while also exploring the connections between resource exploitation, biological processes, and iconographic elements. His work with materials and subjects aims to establish a dialogue with architecture, with sites of material extraction and transformation, and with their repercussions on ecosystems, socio-cultural structures, and agricultural processes. His practice unfolds through a modular corpus composed of interchangeable elements that adapt to exhibition spaces, ranging from large-scale site-specific installations to smaller sculptural and photographic works. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows, including BISCOTTO, curated by Brace Brace and Thomas Ba, supported by Frantoio Sociale, Spazio Contemporanea, Fondazione Clerici, Brescia (BS), 2023; Andirivieni, solo exhibition curated by Davide Ferri, Galleria Fuocherello, Volvera (TO), 2022; Gestus, Act I: Re-making the Body, curated by Laura Lamonea and Thomas Ba, Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi, Venice (VE), 2021; Un anno lungo un giorno, curated by Pier Luigi Tazzi, Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato (PO), 2018. He has taken part in several artist residency programs, including Nuovo Forno del Pane – Outdoor Edition, promoted by Bologna Musei and MAMbo, curated by Lorenzo Balbi, Caterina Molteni, and Sabrina Samorì, 2024; and MADE IN, an initiative promoted by Artissima Fair and curated by Sonia Belfiore, 2023.
- Rä di Martino
Rä di Martino was born in Rome and studied in London, graduating with an MFA from the Slade School of Art. She won a fellowship at Columbia University and spent five years in New York before returning to Italy. Her practice explores the passage of time and the discrepancies between epic narratives and lived experiences.

Di Pietro’s practice explores monstrosity and art history as open, un-objective formulas in which artistic references blur with biographical ones through speculative fiction, sculpture, film, animation and installations. In 2023, Di Pietro was awarded the 11th edition of the Italian Council for GHOSTWRITING PAUL THEK – TIME CAPSULES AND RELIQUARIES. Developed through research, film and sculpture, the project reimagines the work of Paul Thek through a speculative process of attribution, extending the artist’s production beyond his lifetime. Presented at Watermill Center, CAN – Centre d’Art Neuchâtel, Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, the project culminated in the inclusion of the resulting works in the permanent collection of MADRE, Naples. Recent solo projects include LA VITA AGRA, Annet Gelink, Amsterdam (2026); BUENA VISTA, at Miart, Milan (2026); LONG STORY SHORT, Galleria Zazà, Naples (2025); and ESSENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL, Ferramenta Drovetti, Turin (2025). His work has also been presented at Basel Social Club, FRAC Corsica, Sitterwerk and Palazzo Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. His residencies include the American Academy in Rome, Gasworks, London, and the Watermill Center, New York. In 2020, Di Pietro was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.

Agnese Fieno Spolverini (b. 1994, Viterbo, Italy) is an artist and a cultural worker based in Italy. Through writing, sound, installations, workshops, drawing, reading and singing, she explores the points of friction and connection between macropolitics and micropolitics, between the intimate and the public sphere, with a particular interest in the structure of feeling and the affects that go through the experience. Her practice responds, resonates, or reacts to the contexts in which it takes shape, through a site- and time-specific approach. Fieno Spolverini’s interdisciplinary practice seeks to establish connections and proximity, and strive to create bonds, activate presences and imaginations, and make perceptible the tensions that emerge between bodies, spaces, and the politics that traverse them. She has participated in residencies, solo and group exhibitions, in institutions and independent spaces, including: Pillows like Pillars at Barriera; Una Boccata d’Arte; Badly Buried at Palazzo Re Rebaudengo; La Festa dei Corpi Feriti at Kora; Every Food is a Landscape at Polo del ‘900 in Turin; Chì ghe pù Nissun! at Fondazione Elpis. She studied Art Praxis at the Dutch Art Institute and Painting and Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino.
- Benedetta Fioravanti

Her work has been presented in numerous exhibitions, talks and screenings, and is held in several public and private collections. In 2026, she participates in the group exhibition A Slant Of Light at Casa Flash Art, Milan, and is awarded a research and residency grant by the Italian Council of the Italian Ministry of Culture for a project developed in collaboration with the Fondation Claudia Cardinale in France and Art House in Shkodër, Albania.

Enrico Floriddia was born in Catania in 1984. His practice cycles existing matter as much as existing texts, often leaning towards relational works. As an educator, Floriddia creates situations for the building of common knowledge through collective readings; as an art worker, he tends to contexts of wellbeing by organising art residencies; as a person, he tries to uplift kinships. Reciprocity, equity and agency are his constant preoccupations. His research travelled with the Zines of the zone nomad library throughout the European continent in 2014. Later, it participated in the Trauma&Revival (Bozar, ZKM, Cittàdellarte, Pushkin Museum, kim?) and ENGAGE (Viafarini) programmes in 2017. In 2018, it moved towards Decolonizing Architecture (Kungl.Konsthögskolan), passing through School of waters (Mediterranea Biennale, 2021). It resided at the Coopérative de recherche (ESACM Ph.D in practice 2019-2023). Between 2019 and 2022, together with Jérôme de Vienne, Ewa Sadowska and Angeliki Tzortzakaki, he organised bi-, a tentative residency favouring care and loitering. He is currently part of salmastra and paru paru, an art residency and reading room, both operating in Eastern Sicily. Since 2020, he has been building a pirate library through collective readings.

Valentina Furian (b. 1989, Venice) is a visual artist whose practice, rooted in moving images and time-based installations, explores the evolving relationship between human beings and the natural world. Her work investigates the boundary between reality and fiction, employing a cinematographic approach that merges documentary experimentation with narrative fiction. At the core of her research is an exploration of interspecific relationships, where human and more-than-human entities intersect, revealing the wild within the everyday. Recent exhibitions include Triennale Milano, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Guarene, Quadriennale di Roma, BIENALSUR, Lo Schermo dell’Arte, alongside a residency at Cité des Arts, Paris, ISCP Brooklyn (NY). Previous presentations and screenings include Biennale Gherdëina, Museo Arte Moderna MAMbo Bologna, Gallerie d’Italia Turin, Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi/Pinault Foundation, Fundación Proa21/PROA Buenos Aires, MAXXI Rome, Pearl Art Museum Shanghai.

Byron Gago (b. 1994, Ecuador) is a visual artist based in Biel, Switzerland. He studied at NABA, Milan, and took an MA at ECAL, Lausanne, in 2020. He works by returning to a place over years, gathering testimony, field observation, material and documents as evidence. Restricted access is treated as a finding, not an obstacle: what cannot be reached is named and withheld from the image. What the work rebuilds is not the site but the position he occupied there. Medium follows from what that position requires: video, photography, site-specific installation, and sculpture in which living matter is contained, regulated and left to fail. Exhibitions include Nature, Feeling, Form, Kunstraum am Schauplatz, Vienna (2026) and Castel Belasi, Trento (2025); Deracinated Lands, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Guarene (2024); Aguas Negras, Panorama, Venezia, with a talk at the Accademia di Belle Arti (2022); BAD THINGS HAPPEN, Maison Gaudard, Lausanne (2021); Deriva Continental, La Rada, Locarno (2020); Usefull Less, Galerie Crevecoeur, Paris (2019); Antipode, OnArte, Minusio (2018); Biennale Giovani Monza, Palazzo Reale (2017); and Era Pacifica Pare, Careof, Milan (2016).
- Enej Gala
Enej Gala lives and works between London, Venice, and Nova Gorica. In 2014, he was on an exchange at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. He accomplished his B.A. in 2013 and his M.A. in 2015, both in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, and graduated from the Royal Academy Schools Postgraduate Programme in London in 2023. Since 2019, he has been running studio Tridol in Dolanci, where free improvisation, videomaking, and theater productions collide in unexpected scenarios. He has founded or been actively involved in artistic collectives such as Rotora, Jalovo and Fondazione Malutta. His practice, based on an acute awareness of thinking through making, is an attempt to grasp the experience of otherness. The medium of puppetry serves as a conceptual tool for an ontological exploration of materiality. Through a constant oscillation between demystifying its own mechanism and generating aesthetic illusion, this approach subverts established hierarchies between art and craftsmanship, while questioning the very conditions of artistic production through sustainable, socially conscious, and collaborative processes.

Giuseppe Lana (b. 1979, Catania, Italy). One of the key points of his artistic research is the autobiographical component. His works are developed as a result of a reflection on the context that surrounds the artist whose analysis of certain places and their problems, often politically and anthropologically based, is furthermore expressed through a strong connection with history. In recent works, the artist investigates man’s need – be he a single individual or an entire community – to travel over the earth, questioning how this freedom comes into conflict in contemporary reality with geopolitical interests, state bureaucratic apparatuses and reactionary ideologies. Among his recent shows: Drifting Back and Forth, Giorgio Persano Gallery, Turin, (2023); PASSAGGI, Italian Cultural Institute, Madrid, in collaboration with Giorgio Persano Gallery, (2023); L’aureola nelle cose: sentire l’habitat, 71° Premio Fondazione Michetti, (2020); ÜberMauer, BAM – Biennale Arcipelago Mediterraneo, Palermo, curated by Fondazione Merz, (2019); Durrmu Arts Aboriginal Corporation, Peppimenarti, Australia – partners: The University of Melbourne, IIC Melbourne, IIC Sydney, CO.AS.IT Cultural Centre Melbourne, Durrmu Arts Aboriginal Corporation, curated by Miriam La Rosa and Kade McDonald, (2019); Square, Official Collateral Event of MANIFESTA12, Palermo, curated by Mike Watson, (2018).

Renato Leotta is an artist born in Turin in 1982; he currently lives and works in Italy. His work stems from a reflection on the landscape. Temporality is the core of his practice and takes shape through the observation of the elements that govern it: the sky, for example, and its relationship with things — the sea, plants, the wind, but also the body and memory. The focus of his research traces back to the Mediterranean and the cosmos — contexts understood as entities that situate his work within a critique of resistance to the rhythms of acceleration and image production. Recent exhibitions include his solo show at Galleria Sprovieri in London; Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, Paris; Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Turin; the 17th Istanbul Biennial; Gropius Bau, Berlin; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Masp, São Paulo; and Manifesta 12, Palermo, MAXXI Bulgari Priza in Roma; among others. Leotta was founder of CRIPTA747 in 2008 and Turiner Kunstverein? in 2025 and editor in chief of the research platform and publishing house Istituto Sicilia.

Domenico Antonio Mancini was born in Naples in 1980. He lives and works in Milan. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples and through participation in various residences including the Antonio Ratti Foundation (Como, 2004) and the Mountain School of Art (Los Angeles, 2006). Interested in the transformation of daily life and historical memory into a synesthetic experience, Domenico Antonio Mancini combines sophisticated media analysis, chosen from time to time, to reflect on socio-political and bio-political issues. For the artist, the practice of art always responds to the urgent need to intervene, individually and collectively, in everyday life. Even in the most recent pictorial series related to the historical memory of specific sites, the landscape painting comes as an alienating experience not only on a linguistic level: Domenico Antonio keeps suggesting mediums to flip the relationship between things, intended as both aesthetic categories and pieces of information. Mancini has exhibited in numerous institutional and independent contexts, including the MADRE Museum in Naples, Fondazione Merz in Turin, MAXXI Museum in L’Aquila, MART in Rovereto, GNAM in Rome, the Italian Cultural Institutes in New York and Berlin, and galleries such as Lia Rumma (Naples and Milan).

Jacopo Miliani is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Milan. Working across performance, installation, moving image, photography, collage, publishing, and film, his practice explores the relationships between language, the body, and visual culture, with a particular focus on queer subjectivities, desire, and the performativity of identity. Miliani approaches performance as an expanded methodology that extends across different media, investigating how gestures, speech, choreography, and cinematic language shape collective imaginaries. He currently teaches at IUAV University of Venice and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. Alongside his artistic practice, Miliani has developed a body of moving-image works presented in museums, festivals, and cinema contexts. His films include the Teorema Trilogy (2019) and the short film La Discoteca (2021), both of which have been screened internationally.

Stefan Milosavljevic (b.1992 Serbia) is a multidisciplinary artist working between Italy and Australia. His practice covers painting, sculpture, video, photography and installation. Drawing from autobiographical experience, his work explores the relationship between the visible and the invisible, where identity, memory, desire, intimacy, and spirituality intersect with broader social and cultural realities. His practice is concerned with what exists beyond the tangible: emotional states, inherited memories, spiritual presence, and unseen forces that shape the way we perceive ourselves and the world. Cultural traditions, body politics, masculinity and queer experience become points of departure for investigating the connections between the personal and the collective. Through ambiguous imagery, symbolic gestures, and material interventions, Milosavljevic creates spaces between sensuality and contemplation, vulnerability and resistance, presence and absence. Ambiguity becomes both a poetic and critical tool, allowing what cannot be clearly defined or articulated to emerge. His work ultimately seeks to make the invisible perceptible, inviting reflection on human connection, belonging, and the unseen dimensions of experience.

Montecristo Project is an artistic-curatorial duo founded in Sardinia in 2016 by artists Enrico Piras and Alessandro Sau. Blurring the lines between artistic creation and curatorial practice, the project manifests through artworks, exhibitions, essays, and custom-designed spaces. Central to their research is the creation of unique exhibition environments across Sardinia. Their debut space—a white cube housing the works of outsider artist Salvatore Mor—was built on a secluded islet off the Sardinian coast, its exact location kept secret. The duo also runs a “mountain department” set within an open structure in southern Sardinia, specifically dedicated to hosting artists who also run exhibition spaces. Expanding their practice into narrative territory, Montecristo Project created Deltitnu, a conceptual character whose wanderings through the art system capture the trials and experiences of an aspiring artist. Together, these physical and conceptual spaces serve as the visual and theoretical extension of the duo’s practice.

In her practice, Alek O. (b. 1981, Buenos Aires) blends the common notion of the readymade with craft, embroidery and other traditional art-making forms. On the verge between transformation and conservation, Alek O. strips the objects’ common visual aspects and replaces them with geometric abstraction. Reversing the perspective of design, Alek O. favors re-creation over creation and deconstruction over construction. The objects are salvaged from their original, usually domestic use: wood from a table, metal from a discarded key, wool from a sweater or a pair of gloves. Thus, the works function as metonymy for the artist, or the people who had a connection with the material. The imprint on her sculpted material of those who owned it or used it represents an important aspect of Alek O.’s work as it encapsulates a series of suggestions where memory, affection, nostalgia and the carefully considered loss of interpretive information converge to create an open poetic gesture. Alek O. lives and works in Milan, where she graduated in Design from Politecnico. The work of Alek O. has been exhibited widely at institutional level, notably at MAMbo, Bologna (2026); Royal Academy, London (2026); Fondazione Nicola Trussardi, Milan (2024); the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rome (2021); The Courtauld Institute of Art, Sommerset House (2020); 16th Quadriennale d’Arte, Rome, Palazzo delle Esposizioni (2016); Triennale di Milano, Milan (2015).

Valentina Parati (b. 1996, Bergamo) is an Italian film director and screenwriter working across fiction and hybrid cinema. She holds an MA in Cinema from ECAL / HEAD Genève. Her current research focuses on the family as the first system of authority, examining intimacy within abusive contexts and the silent traces trauma leaves behind. Sound plays a central role in her work, often treating machines as emotional organisms and mechanical orchestras as ritual devices capable of transforming memory and violence. Her films have been presented at festivals including Queer Lisboa, Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, NIFF, Festival Aux Courts, and the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Market, as well as in exhibitions at CAC Genève, Ciaccia Levi, and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. Her work has been featured in Flash Art Italia, with an upcoming screening in collaboration with Mousse Magazine. She has given guest lectures at the AA Architecture School in Berlin, collaborated with ZKM and ECAL, and recently pitched her latest feature project at ECAM in Madrid.

Maria Pecchioli’s (b.1977, Florence, Italy) practice unfolds through research-based projects that move across artistic languages, writing, and participatory practices. Each project takes shape as an ecosystem of artworks, texts, and relational dispositifs, conceived as distinct yet interconnected expressions of a broader research process. Her work explores the relationship between the individual and the social body, emotional environments, and processes of transformation, bringing contemporary art into dialogue with activism and sound- and vibration-based practices of care. Working across drawing, sculpture, film, sound environments, and collective workshops, Pecchioli places encounter at the heart of the artistic process, treating participation as both a method of research and a space for generating new forms of knowledge and relation. Pecchioli has exhibited in independent spaces and collaborated with museums, cultural institutions, and international festivals, while taking part in artist residency programs in Italy and abroad. Her documentary films have received awards and been presented at international film festivals. Since 2011, she has served as Artistic Director of Corniolo Art Platform, an artist run space in Tuscany, and since 2023 she has been Studio Manager at Woodman Residency Foundation.

GianMarco Porru (b. 1989, Italy) is a visual artist, researcher, and director. He lives and works between Sardinia and Milan, where he is a visiting professor at NABA. Through installation, film, photography, and performance, his practice explores the cultures and syncretic mythologies of the Mediterranean, bringing oral traditions into dialogue with contemporary visual cultures. His recent research considers Sardinia as a speculative territory from which to critically reinterpret notions of authenticity, ritual, and the archaic. His imagery is populated by dissident figures drawn from a layered pantheon where astrology, mythology, community beliefs, and popular knowledge converge. His work has been presented at Solar dos Abacaxis and Tropigalpão (Rio de Janeiro); Re-Mapped Festival at Pirelli HangarBicocca (Milan); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo; Fondazione Sozzani; MilanOltre; Museo MA*GA; Museo Nivola; PAV; Museo del Novecento; Museo MAN; Photovogue Festival; Piccolo Teatro di Milano – Teatro d’Europa; and MAO Museo di Arte Orientale. In 2023, he was artist-in-residence at Solar dos Abacaxis through the Italian Council (12th edition). In 2025, one of his installation entered the permanent collection of the Biblioteca Sormani in Milan.
- Francesco Pozzato
Francesco Pozzato (Vicenza, 1992) is an artist and archaeologist; he lives and works in Venice. His practice draws on archaeological methodologies to investigate both the remote past and the present, in an attempt to rediscover a history that moves beyond the triumphant narratives of the victors and beyond a linear, univocal, official interpretation. This concern has progressively given rise to a research practice that examines both destruction as an involuntary vehicle of preservation and, in parallel, the iconology of defeat. Around these themes, Pozzato constructs complex visual worlds in which cuneiform literature, Mediterranean decorative heritage and the materiality of archaeological remains intertwine with contemporary aesthetic languages through installations, photographs, and tapestries. Since 2022, this research has run alongside an academic path, first in the History of the Ancient Mediterranean and then in the Archaeology of Southwest Asia, combining theoretical work with excavation campaigns in Iraq, Armenia, and Sardinia. As an artist, he has collaborated with institutions including Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Galleria Continua, ArtVerona, Artissima Fair, Galleria Nazionale di Cosenza, Fondazione Fabbri and Palazzo Merulana.

- Moira Ricci
Moira Ricci (b. 1977, Orbetello, Italy) explores the ties between identity, family memory and territory, weaving archival materials, digital technologies and popular imagery. Her practice, often rooted in personal history, investigates forms of belonging and the emotional layers that connect bodies to places. After studying photography at C.F.P. Bauer and Visual Communication at the Brera Academy, she developed a language that blends documentation, invention and visual intervention. She has presented solo exhibitions in Italian and international institutions, including MAMbo, MUNAF, MUCIV, Marubi National Museum of Photography, DelloScompiglio, PAC Ferrara, and many galleries. Her work has been shown in numerous group contexts, from the Centre Pompidou to the Quadriennale in Rome, from Palazzo Strozzi to MAXXI. Winner of awards and residencies such as Gasworks in London and Location One in New York, Ricci continues to investigate the relationship between image, memory and social transformation through projects that connect territory, narrative and contemporary visual practices.

Video - 18’40’’ - Andrea Romano
Andrea Romano born in Milan, in 1984. Romano’s work consists in the combination of different media and languages, as if to prevent a univocal definition of artwork and to evoke a reality in which different aspects and feelings coexist. The artist investigates the role of images within identity and the boundaries between the private dimension and the collective sphere by addressing personal references and experiences with what we call art, its margins and the values we commonly attribute to it. Selected solo exhibitions: Federica Schiavo, Rome; Centralbanken, Oslo; Gaudel de Stampa, Paris; Vistamare, Pescara; Fluxia, Milan; Gasconade, Milan. Selected group exhibitions: Kunsthalle Zürich; CFAlive, Milan; Vistamare Studio, Milan; Pio Pico, Los Angeles, Quadriennale di Roma, Rome; Silvia Steinek, Vienna, Triennale di Milano, Milan; Monica De Cardenas, Zuoz; Fondazione Morra-Museo Nitsch, Naples; La Maison Rouge-Fondation Antoine de Galbert, Paris; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; 1m3, Lausanne; Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice.

Giuliana Rosso (b. 1992) lives and works in Turin. Her practice develops through painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation, as well as through the relationships that emerge between them. Her research investigates what emerges when perception and verbal language are destabilized, making visible emotional states, impulses, and forms of non-rational knowledge. The adolescent figure recurs as an emblem of a psychological and emotional condition through which to observe the social transformations of the present. Her works construct images and environments in which the boundary between inner experience and material reality remains permeable: fear, desire, shame, aggression, and loneliness take shape through presences, metamorphoses, and apparitions. Alongside oil painting, Rosso uses graphite, charcoal, chalk, papier-mâché, and reclaimed materials, extending painting beyond the surface of the canvas. References to psychology, literature, and art history intertwine with the Neon Ooze aesthetic of youth culture and the imagery of toys from the 1990s and early 2000s. Her works transform fragile materials into unstable forms, suspended between familiarity and the uncanny, permanence and dissolution.

Andrea Salvino (b. 1969. Rome) lives and works in Rome. Andrea Salvino’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in history, drawing extensively on the political, social, and cinematic imagery of twentieth-century Italy and Europe and extending into the present. His work may be read as a form of unofficial history written through images. The figures and situations that Salvino transposes onto paper and canvas are images sourced from photographs, vintage postcards, books, films, and prints. Political and social events, war, eroticism, popular culture, and cinema recur throughout his drawings as fragments of a vanished reality. Salvino does not seek to articulate an explicit political or ideological position. Rather, his practice foregrounds the agency of images themselves: their capacity to trigger, evoke and reactivate memory. Selected exhibitions include: Tragicomica., MAXXI, Rome, 2026; UNAROMA, MACRO, Rome, 2025–2026; Italia 70.

- Davide Savorani
Davide Savorani (b. 1977, Faenza, Italy) is an artist whose practice spans multiple media, from drawing and sculpture to writing and performance. His research develops through open-ended processes, conceived to embrace what emerges from the encounter between his own imaginary and the context in which the work manifests itself. For Savorani, the dialogue between bodies, materials, space, and duration can challenge the notion of finiteness and open up a space of suspension. His projects often take the form of performative environments, in which presences, conditions, and circumstances can generate new possibilities of meaning. Savorani lives and works in Milan. In 2022, the publishing house bruno (Venice) released Argh!, a book edited by Frida Carazzato and Caterina Riva, collecting a selection of drawings taken from the artist’s working journals between 2005 and 2019. In September 2024, he presented a new site-responsive environment as part of the Evolving Love festival at Centrale Fies, Dro, Italy. Since 2024, Savorani has taught Performance Techniques in the MA programme at IED – Accademia di Belle Arti Aldo Galli in Como. Savorani has participated in several collective exhibitions and events, including: Una Sauna, Il Colorificio, Milan (2022); Isolationkunst, Samtidskunst Museet, Roskilde (2020); Afterglow, Gavin Brown Enterprise, Rome (2019); Every time You Close Your Eyes, Tile Project Space, Milan (2018); 40° Sopra la performance, Palazzo Magnani, Bologna; News at Betty, Betty Nansen Teatret, Copenhagen (2017); People In A Building Without A Building, ex Guarmet, Milan (2016); Island Time, CAMH, Houston (2015); REVISIT, Overgaden, Copenhagen (2014); Do It: Houston, Alabama Song, Houston (2013); Prune in the Sky, Toves Galleri, Copenhagen (2012); Not an image but a whole world, Kunstraum, Vienna (2012); L’inadeguato/Lo inadecuado/The inadequate, Spanish Pavilion / La Biennale di Venezia (2011); Against Gravity, ICA, London (2010); HaVE A LoOk!

- Alberto Scodro
Alberto Scodro was born in Marostica, Vicenza, Italy, in 1984. He graduated in Visual and Performing Arts at IUAV University of Venice, after completing studies in restoration. His artistic research focuses on the relationship between space and matter, the fundamental elements of his practice. Through processes of transformation, mutation, and the evolution of natural organisms, Scodro explores unconventional combinations of artificial and natural materials, creating sculptures, installations, and works on paper. His practice develops through processes of addition and subtraction in relation to existing bodies and environments. Forms, volumes, and word associations generate semantic and visual short circuits, inviting new ways of perceiving materials and their transformations. Heterogeneous in his material experimentation, Scodro investigates universes, phenomena, and forces belonging to different life cycles, from plant cultivation to high-temperature metal and mineral fusions. Tension, pressure, and fusion become methods through which he questions the contemporary relationship between nature, technology, and production. His works are included in important public and private collections. In 2026, his work is presented at the 61st Venice Biennale, as part of the Venice Pavilion.

Marinella Senatore (b. 1977, Italy) has developed a multidisciplinary practice spanning tapestry, light sculpture, collage, drawing and performance. For over two decades, her research — rooted in participation, pedagogy and shared knowledge— has involved millions of participants across more than twenty-four countries. Drawing from public celebrations, processional cultures, theatre, music, vernacular traditions and informal systems of knowledge, she constructs layered visual worlds in which personal and collective narratives converge. Recurring motifs —including landscapes, gestures, architectural fragment and text — generate an iconography that runs throughout her practice. These elements operate as part of an evolving contemporary mythology, through which questions of visibility, agency, belonging and transformation are continually renegotiated and reimagined. Her large scale installation draw on the architectural language of Southern Italian “luminarie”, translating temporary structures of celebration into contemporary sculptural forms fostering engagement and assembly. Rather than simply representing participation, Senatore’s works are grounded in long-term workshops, encounters and shared processes, making visible the ways in which collective imagination takes form. Founded in 2012, The School of Narrative Dance (SOND) constitutes the most radical dimension of Senatore’s engagement with collective practices. Developed through workshops, public processions and collective rituals, it functions as an ongoing laboratory for exploring the relationship between the body, pedagogy, cultural transmission and the production of shared narratives. Senatore’s work has been exhibited internationally by leading institutions including Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Kunsthaus Zürich; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum Der Moderne, Salzburg; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Triennale Milano; Museum Villa Stuck, Munich; Berlinische Galerie; Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; Castello di Rivoli; MAXXI, Rome; Museum of Contemporary Art, Santa Barbara; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt; Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn; Extra City Kunsthal, Antwerp; Serlachius Museums, Mänttä; Estorick Collection, London; Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover; BOZAR, Brussels; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; GNAMC, Rome; Kunsthalle St. Gallen; CAPC Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux and Queens Museum, New York among others. She has realised commissions and public projects for institutions, museums, and foundations including High Line, New York; Palazzo Strozzi, Florence; Generali Foundation, Venice; UCCA, Shanghai; Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice; Faena Forum, Miami; Kunsthalle Mannheim; Nuit Blanche, Paris; Steirischer Herbst, Graz; Amsterdam Light Festival; Stiftung Kunst und Natur, Nantesbuch; Millennium Park, Chicago; Southbank Centre, London; BAK, Utrecht; Kulturstiftung St. Moritz; NOOR Riyadh; Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See, Rome and numerous institutions across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the United States. Senatore has participated in major international biennials and her works are held in public and private collections worldwide, and numerous international public and private collections. Her residencies include ISCP New York, Künstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin, American Academy in Rome, Centre International d’Accueil et d’Échanges des Récollets, Cité internationale des arts, Paris, and Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers, Paris. In 2026, she was named Artist of the Year by the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (GNAMC), Rome.

Giulio Squillacciotti (b. 1982, Rome) is an artist and award-winning filmmaker whose work navigates the speculative potential of history through fiction, mystification, and the reactivation of collective memory. After studying Medieval Art History and Humanities in Rome and Barcelona, he earned a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from the IUAV School of Architecture in Venice. He was subsequently a residency fellow at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht and one of the artists of the Dutch Pavilion at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale. His works—ranging from film documentary to fiction and experimental installations or set design—are crafted within diverse geographical and cultural contexts, creating immersive environments that reflect on how identities are constructed, performed, and remembered. Squillacciotti’s practice focuses on reconstructing specific human, social and political dynamics and rituals as mirrors of broader, universal narratives. He is currently developing his first feature film, set in Ireland during the aftermath of the 2008 economic crash. The project is an Italian, Irish and Polish co-production) and has received support from MEDIA Creative Europe, Screen Ireland, and the Italian Ministry of Culture’s Film Fund.

Elisa Strinna is an Italian multimedia artist based in the Netherlands since 2018. Her multisensory environments bring together film, sculpture, light, and sound. She approaches sculpture as a form of world-making through which she studies and imagines systems of resilience and interconnection across human and more-than-human life. Bringing premodern European healing practices into dialogue with contemporary science, she explores care as a relational, interspecies process. Moving between documentary and science fiction, her films question dominant visions of the future and the colonial logics embedded in contemporary space exploration. Selected presentations include Verwey Museum Haarlem (2026), RADIUS CCA (2025), International Film Festival Rotterdam (2023), documenta fifteen (2022), A Tale of A Tub (2021), Culturgest (2020), Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, Guarene (2009, 2020), Hong-gah Museum (2018), MART (2015), MAXXI (2014), the Taipei Biennial (2012), and MACRO (2011).

Courtesy of the artist - Davide Stucchi
Davide Stucchi (b. 1988, Vimercate, Italy) works across installation, scenography, and exhibition making, through subtle gestures of subtraction and reconfiguration. Built around minimal interventions, his works engage with the tension between presence and forms of removal, intimacy, and distance, activated through carefully choreographed objects and spatial atmospheres. Each installation operates as an environment in its own right, inviting viewers into spaces where intimate traces, desire, and collective imaginaries converge. Permeating the practice is a sustained ambiguity—a refusal of resolution— enriched by deliberate references to fashion, advertising, domesticity, and coded narratives that unsettle normative representations of identity and the body. Through this layering, Stucchi constructs fragile architectures of perception, where meaning is continuously destabilized and reassembled. Stucchi’s work has been exhibited internationally, with solo shows at Triennale Museum, Milano (2026); Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato (2025); Martina Simeti, Milan (2024, 2021); Grazer Kunstverein, (2023); Museion, Bolzano (2024); Deborah Schamoni, Munich (2020, 2017); Zazà, Milan/Naples (2019); Sundogs, Paris (2019); Galerie Gregor Staiger, Zurich (2019); and MACRO, Rome (2014). His work has been included in group exhibitions at Museion, Bolzano (2024); Palazzo Tiepolo, Venice (2024); Between Bridges, Berlin (2023); Palazzo Ducale, Genoa (2023); MACRO, Rome (2020); Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome (2020, 2016); Stadgalerie Bern, Switzerland (2020); Villa Romana, Florence (2019); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin (2018); Kunstverein Düsseldorf (2018); and MAXXI, Rome (2015).

- Paolo W. Tamburella
Paolo W. Tamburella (b. 1973, Rome, Italy). Tamburella began his artistic research in Rome, the city that shaped his early works, inspired by ancient Roman sculpture. After a period in London, in 2000 he moved to New York, where he lived until 2006, exhibiting with the gallerist Annina Nosei. In 2006, during a journey through southern India, his work underwent a radical transformation. Often conceived while travelling, his site-specific installations, performances and sculptures decontextualise their starting element to suggest new meanings for the existing. The protagonists become the shoemakers of Calcutta, the dockers of the Comoros Islands, punctured footballs collected on a truck journey across India, chicken baskets from the markets of Bangladesh, vines uprooted from a Provençal vineyard, maritime ex-votos discovered by chance in a Venetian museum, or the gold stars from the mantles of Sienese Madonnas of Le stelle di Siena. Paolo William Tamburella took part in the 53rd Venice Biennale and 2nd Singapore Biennale, and has exhibited at MACRO, Rome; Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Berlin; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin and Guarene; and Annina Nosei Gallery, New York. He co-curated the first Bangladeshi pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale. He lives and works in Montalcino and Maremma, Tuscany.

- Eugenio Tibaldi
Eugenio Tibaldi (b.1977, Alba, Italy) moved to the Neapolitan hinterland in 2000, where he began a body of work that explores one of Italy’s most malleable and dynamic territories and seeks to chart a sort of map of informality. The “margin” is understood here as a condition that is often more mental than geographical. He sets in motion a process that involves smaller communities and allows alternative aesthetics to emerge. In recent years, he has worked in Istanbul, Naples, Cairo, Rome, Thessaloniki, Berlin, Verona, Havana, Bucharest, Turin, Caracas, Brussels, Tirana, Addis Ababa, Mumbai, and Santiago, Chile. Exhibitions include: Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, YCRP (2007); Manifesta 7 (2008); ICCA, Bucharest (2009); Museo Madre, Naples (2010); Thessaloniki Biennale (2013); Havana Biennial (2015); MEF Turin (2016), Quirinale Palace (2017), MCDA Manila (2017), IIC New York (2017), MAXXI, Rome (2018), Venice Biennale, Cuba Pavilion (2019), Museo del 900, Milan (2019), GAM, Rome (2020), Zoma Museum, Addis Ababa (2020), Tenuta dello Scompiglio, Lucca (2021), PAV, Turin (2021), 20th Ermanno Casoli Prize (2022), Italian Pavilion at the Malta Biennale (2024), MAC, Santiago, Chile (2025).

Diego Tonus (b. 1984, Pordenone, Italy) is based in The Hague (NL). He uses reproduction to question control systems and power structures, transforming selected images, objects, and collective experiences into new frameworks that expose their underlying codes and normativity. His time- and process-based mixed-media practice is grounded in archiving as an active critical gesture. What is collected or omitted becomes structural, revealing how meaning is formed, transmitted, and withheld. Through copying, reenactment, and reconstruction, he creates new originals that retain traces of their sources while shifting their conditions. His works function as platforms where narratives of identity, authority, and belief unfold between fiction and documentary. He studied at IUAV University of Venice and the Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam. Solo shows include Goethe-Institut Kyoto (2025), Ca’ Pesaro Venice (2024), CSAC Parma (2023), Whitechapel Gallery London (2020), ar/ge kunst Bozen (2017) and Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam (2013). Group exhibitions include MAXXI Rome, TENT Rotterdam, Rome Quadrennial, De Appel Amsterdam and Palais de Tokyo Paris. His films screened at Hammer Museum Los Angeles and Kunsthalle Gwangju. Residencies include ARTS at CERN Geneva, Van Eyck Maastricht and WIELS Brussels. Collections include MAMbo Bologna, MAXXI Rome, CSAC Parma and MMoMA Moscow.

- Serena Vestrucci
Serena Vestrucci (b. 1986, Milan, Italy). Vestrucci’s works explore the obviousness of small things, giving voice to what is often hidden, forgotten, or sidelined. Through a playful yet direct and provocative language, the ordinary is decontextualized, or in her own words “moved to a different field of action”. Vestrucci manipulates these everyday elements via a diverse range of artistic processes and language impositions, yet the original identity of whatever triggers her attention is forever preserved, even treasured, for it to achieve a new meaning. Ultimately, Vestrucci turns things into images. Vestrucci has exhibited her work in numerous institutions including: Vittoriano (Rome, 2026); Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau (Bologna, 2026); Italian Cultural Institute (Oslo, 2025); Museo Madre (Naples, 2024); Istituto Villa Adriana e Villa d’Este (Tivoli, 2024); Renata Fabbri Gallery (Milan, 2024 and 2021); Building Gallery (Milan, 2024); Palazzo Lomellino (Genoa, 2024); Italian Cultural Institute (Warsaw, 2023); Italian Cultural Institute (Kraków, 2023); Casa Gramsci (Turin, 2023); Palazzo Ducale, La Biennale di Gubbio (Gubbio, 2023); Una Boccata d’Arte, Fondazione Elpis (Cetara, 2023); Palazzo Merulana (Rome, 2023); Palazzo Grillo (Genoa, 2023); Museo MAXXI (Rome, 2023); Stefan Gierowski Foundation (Warsaw, 2022); Foundation Made in Cloister (Naples, 2022); Imago Mundi Foundation (Treviso, 2021); Pastificio Cerere Foundation (Rome, 2020); Palazzo Del Medico (Carrara, 2020); FuoriCampo Gallery (Siena, 2018 and 2016); Palazzo Reale (Milan, 2017 and 2015); GAM Gallery of Modern Art (Verona, 2017); Villa Croce Museum of Contemporary Art (Genoa, 2015); Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation (Turin, 2014); GAM Gallery of Modern Art (Milan, 2012); Casa Testori (Novate Milanese, 2019); Italian Cultural Institute (New York, 2018); Italian Cultural Institute (London, 2018); Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation (Venice, 2017 and 2012); FRISE Künstlerhaus (Hamburg, 2014); Casa Masaccio (San Giovanni Valdarno, 2014); Stedelijk Museum (‘S–Hertogenbosch, 2011).
