Residency program for young curators 2010 Curated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol
Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, Guarene d’Alba, Cuneo, Italy 8 May - 20 June , 2010
Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Fondazione Edoardo Garrone present Persona in meno from 8 May to 20 June at Palazzo Re Rebaudengo in Guarene d’Alba and from 18 September to 17 October at Palazzo Ducale in Genova. The exhibition includes works by Meris Angioletti, Nico Angiuli, Lupo Borgonovo, Chiara Camoni, Canecapovolto, Carloni & Franceschetti, Manuele Cerutti, Andrea Contin, Andrea De Stefani, Nicolò Degiorgis, Federico Del Vecchio, Rä di Martino, Chiara Fumai, Alessandro Gagliardo, Lorenzo Scotto di Luzio, Giuseppe Lana, Renato Leotta, Eva Marisaldi, Andrea Nacciarriti, Linda Fregni Nagler, Nicola Nunziata, Alberto Scodro, Marinella Senatore, Alberto Tadiello and Mauro Vignando. Persona in meno offers “portraiture without portraiture” as a paradoxical framework for considering the diverse works of more than twenty contemporary Italian artists— from an overarching parabola of basil to a bronze cast of the human soul. Punctuated by sound, as well as by moving images and moving objects, Palazzo Re Rebaudengo will be filled with works that elicit absent presences, apparitions, surrogates, private rituals, reappearances, and failed attempts at invisibility. Surveyed together, these works hover between what is visibly absent and absently visible. Persona in meno is curated by Angelique Campens (Belgium), Erica Cooke (USA) and Chris Fitzpatrick (USA), fellows of the fourth edition of the Young Curators’ Residency programme coordinated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol (Italy) and supported by the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Fondazione Edoardo Garrone with the support of the Compagnia di San Paolo.
Angelique Campens is an independent art historian, writer, educator and curator whose work focuses on interactions between sculpture and architecture in the twentieth and twenty-first century, the integration of sculpture in public space, and sculptural concrete (béton brut). Born in Belgium, she has worked for international museums and public art spaces including the Whitney Museum, Kulturprojekte Berlin, Fondazione Sandretto, Bozar and Wiels. She has written for various catalogue and magazines including Taschen’s Art Now Vol. 4, Abitare, Domus, Sculpture Journal and Aspect. In 2007-2008, she was a Curatorial Fellow at the International Study Program (ISP) at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. In 2010 she published her first monograph about the architecture of the Belgian Modernist Juliaan Lampens. She teaches at KASK Ghent and recently published a monograph on the artist and architect Jacques Moeschal (1913-2004) and curated the accompanying project at Bozar Brussels. In 2022 she obtained her PhD in art history from Ghent University, where she wrote about the legacy of André Bloc, who proved to be the central figure of a world-wide network of architects, artists, critics and theorists prominent within the architecture-sculpture debate.
Chris Fitzpatrick (New York, 1978) is the new Director of Kunstverein Munich. He has been the director of the not-for-profit contemporary art centre Objectif Exhibitions in Antwerp (Belgium) since 2012.

He has lent his artist-centric curatorial approach to exhibitions with Nina Beier, Bruce Conner, Mark Dion, Paul Elliman, Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys, Joao Maria Gusmao & Pedro Paiva, Angie Keefer, Rosalind Nashashibi, Iza Tarasewicz, and many others. His writing and interviews have been published in Spike Art Quarterly, Pazmaker, Nero, Mousse, L’Uomo Vogue, Fillip, The Federal, Cura, The Baltic Notebooks of Anthony Blunt, Art Papers, as well as in numerous catalogs and books.
